Maybe Neil will become Nikki's drinking buddy - lol. I have never been a big Neil fan, but I do remember some good scenes between Neil and Harmony (Debbi Morgan). I found him more likable with her than with anyone since Dru, and I think she could help him if he starts drinking again. That would give room for Hilary and Devon to get on with it - then Lilly could have a fit about that. The writing is just so bad for this poor man, I feel sorry for him. There was something sweet about Harmony and Neil together, and I think he needs to be taken in a totally different direction, if the character is going to survive. Again, not a big Neil fan, but looking for a solution to this mess.
