Young and the Restless: Detective Burrow’s Surprising Love Interest Revealed – Identity Stuns Fans?

Young and the Restless reveals hunky Detective James Burrow (Matt Cohen) officially staying in Genoa City, so that means he’s eventually going to need romance. He’s too hot to not give him a love interest.

I’m wondering which single lady is going to catch his eye, or will go after him because he caught their eye. We’re going to talk about who might be Burrow’s first love interest in Genoa City. We have an inkling of who it might be, and it would be a huge shocker for a really cool reason.

Matt Cohen Joins Young and the Restless

James Burrow was introduced to Young and the Restless fans in October of last year, but he was only seen sporadically as Burrow at first because Matt Cohen needed surgery on his ACL. He had to recover. He was in a wheelchair and then on crutches, and then he could walk around, but he couldn’t stand for very long.

They were having to rearrange things, and then we got lots more of Burrow once he healed and could stand for scenes. His storyline started heating up. Now he just helped Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) get their kid, Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark), back, and he’s officially part of the Genoa City character canvas as the one and only cop the town seems to have.

They’re not going to waste Matt Cohen’s pretty face and leave him single for very long. That pretty face needs another pretty face to kiss. And with Burrow settling into his new day job at the GCPD, there is nothing stopping him from looking for a date.

Young and the Restless: Detective James Burrow

Will Sharon Newman and Detective James Burrow Find Romance on Y&R?

One person to consider that might be paired with him is Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). I think Burrow impressed Sharon because he was really kind and very understanding to Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) when she hit rock bottom when she got busted for kidnapping Dominic.

Despite the terrible crime, Burrow was very sensitive. So, Sharon’s appreciative, and she respects Burrow. They might become friendly soon. Plus, we know Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is going to be back soon as a threat, and Sharon may need protecting.

Burrow might save her and they have a little spark. I know some of you guys want to see Sharon with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), but I don’t think Josh Griffith wants it. Sharon and Nick are going nowhere fast, and they have been for so long.

It went from a slow burn for Sharon and Nick to a no burn. And Nick’s about to be addicted to fentanyl. That’s not very romantic or sexy. So Sharon might be so distraught over Mariah’s looming consequences, Nick spiraling into drugs, and Matt Clark being back.

Sharon may lean on Burrow. They end up becoming friends and then more. He would be somebody new and fresh for Sharon, and she needs a love interest honestly, and Nick’s not panning out.

Phyllis Summers Needs a Fresh Start with Genoa City’s Newest Cop

Sharon’s not the one I was referring to as the big shock. Neither is this next lady I want to talk about, which is Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). Even though Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) tells Phyllis this week he wants to continue the personal part of their relationship, even if she agrees, I don’t see them lasting that long because Cane still wants Lily Winters (Christel Khalil).

Lily is back to Genoa City in just a few weeks. Phyllis needs somebody that might help get her on a better path in life. That is a perfect task for a very sexy detective like Burrow. Maybe Phyllis needs somebody that will firmly shut down her antics.

Burrow could be the person to finally get Phyllis to change her ways. I know, crazy, right? I think he could be a refreshing change of pace for Red. Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) might even ease up on their mom if she started making better life choices, starting with dating a decent guy.

Could Lily Winters Rub a New Romance in Cane’s Face on Young and the Restless?

Speaking of Cane and Lily, when she’s back in a few weeks, I don’t see her running right back into Cane’s arms. She dislikes him so much that she agreed to pretend to let Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) kidnap her. I don’t see Lily giving Cane a shot for a good long while, if ever, again.

Lily might be looking for a new romance that she can rub in Cane’s face, and getting with the very handsome Detective James Burrow could be just the ticket. I’m sure Lily would like a stand-up guy like him, who is about as different from Cane as you can be.

Burrow also risked his life going undercover to try and take down Matt Clark in the fentanyl operations. He protects and serves. And Lily hasn’t had the best luck. She dated unfaithful Daniel, unreliable Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), and now untrustworthy Cane was trying to get back with her. Lily might go for a handsome and ethical guy.

Is Audra Charles the Right Match for James Burrow?

Again, Lily is not the shocker either. So, another single lady that might be good for the new hunk in town is Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). She’s single and she’s drop-dead gorgeous, and she also needs a good man in her life. She’d like to have Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) back, but he’s moved on with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).

He still says he’s not sure he’s ready for a romance, but that’s the direction he’s headed. Meanwhile, Audra is still hot for Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). He is never going to fall for her, though. Maybe he might fall back in bed with her, but he’s never going to fall in love with her.

I’m not sure, though, given Audra’s past with the dead guy in LA. There’s a question of whether she would date Burrow since he’s a cop, but they would be a very pretty couple. I will say that. And who knows, Audra might have met Burrow in LA.

Maybe they had a spark and then they revisit it now that both of them are in Genoa City. Burrow would be attracted to Audra. I think anybody would, but she does like to bend the rules sometimes, so I don’t know if Burrow would be a good fit for her.

Since she is single and ready to mingle, I had to mention her as a possibility for Burrow. Plus, I do think Audra is going to keep playing cat and mouse with Kyle. I don’t think those two are done yet. Far from it.

The Shocking Chemistry: Why Claire Newman and James Burrow Are the Perfect Pair on Young and the Restless

Now let’s talk about the potential shocking pair-up for them. The woman that Burrow might get with that would be really surprising is Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). And here’s why. Over and above her being single, there’s a big reason.

We know Kyle still wants Claire and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) does, too. But Claire already dumped Kyle and she is dumping Holden this week. Here’s why it would be a shock, a bit of a twist, if she got together with the cop.

I can guarantee you right now that Claire and Burrow would have amazing chemistry as a couple. And here’s how I know. The two actors who play them, Hayley Erin and Matt Cohen, had great chemistry as a couple on another soap.

They were both on General Hospital, and they were a fan-favorite couple. Over on GH, he played Dr. Griffin Munro, who was a very sexy former priest turned doctor, and she played this character Kiki Jerome. At first, Griffin was dating Kiki’s mom, but then she was a villainess, so he moved on to Kiki.

We saw Hayley Erin and Matt Cohen as this on-screen couple, and they were amazing. They had this incredible chemistry, but then Hayley Erin’s character Kiki was murdered by this horrible serial killer that just happened to be dating her mom.

Matt Cohen’s character Griffin was absolutely devastated by her death. It was great work all around. People were so upset that she was killed off, but she was ready to leave General Hospital. For those fans of Young and the Restless who also watch General Hospital, you already know this is true.

Putting Burrow with Claire would be an instant hit. I’m excited to see who the devilishly handsome detective winds up dating, and hopefully, Burrow finds romance soon. But my money is on wanting to see Claire with Burrow because I know how well those actors work together and they have got the sizzle that I think would be great for Y&R.
