Young and restless weekly spoilers from June 15 to 19, inclusive Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) gets a triple blindside on matters of health, family and business.
Plus, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is particularly paranoid about a certain villain’s redemption. So, as we do on Early Edition Day, we’ll start with what’s happening the rest of this week and then get into what’s happening next week.
Y&R: Wednesday and Thursday – Shadow Room Launch and Family Updates
So on Wednesday 10 June we got Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) meeting Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) over there Shadow room and she is happy to remind him that she is her date and he is very happy. Then Lily asks about Cane’s chat with Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) and he says he told him he loves Lily and he says Malcolm wasn’t happy about it.
And Lily reveals that she also told Malcolm that she is appointing Cane as CEO of Chancellor. She talks to Cane that she wants to announce it tonight, but Cane says, “Don’t jinx Victoria.” And then we have Cane’s reminder Lily that a bunch other people will be bothered by him being her CEO. But Lily doesn’t care. She figures he’s talking about Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominick). And she’s like, “Don’t care what they think.”
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Danny Romalotti retires
Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei), Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian), and Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) shows up at the launch. Daniel is concerned that Danny was snapped up by Patty when he seemed to fall off the radar. And then Daniel brings up Patty trying to kill Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), but it turns out that Danny just missed a flight. And then he tells Daniel and Christine that he is done touring. He’s done with the rock star life. He will stay at Genoa City.
Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) narrates Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) with whom she likes him Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun). And we’ve got Noah talking around the club while Sienna tends bar, but she’s overwhelmed because some of the staff didn’t show up. Danny talks about what he does with his free time. And Christine and Daniel tease him, he won’t last two months on pension. And then Danny notices Sienna works alone and seems overwhelmed. So he actually goes to help behind the bar and she’s thrilled to have a rock star out there.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Lily & Cane Heat Up
Daniel and Christine talk about Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). And Daniel is a little disappointed that his mother didn’t end up facing consequences. But interestingly, Christine thinks Phyllis learned something from all this. And she actually encourages Daniel to check in on his mom.
Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) says so Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) seems to have hung up on what happened at the old one Shadow room in LA. And then Claire and Holden join Lily and Cane. And Holden thanks Cane again for saving Malcolm. Then we have Holden and Claire dancing and getting romantic. And then Cane and Lily go to the dance too. And Cane kisses her and that’s it all fireworks. Danny goes to the dance with Christine and Noah drops back behind the bar to check on Sienna and help her. And she decides that she is really excited about the new thing Shadow room.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nate reconsiders medicine
Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) finds Nate in Crimson light and he asks if she was at the club opening judging by her fancy dress. Audra says it’s not her scene. Nate wonders if someone annoyed her and Audra says the bartender was really bad. It’s obviously Sienna. They talk about Malcolm’s recovery and Audra asks if Nate misses being a doctor and he says that’s been on his mind lately. Audra asks if the surgery could fix Nate’s hand, would he go back to being a surgeon himself?
But he says he likes working with his family, and Audra tells him she’s sorry for conspiring with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and hurt him. Nate says Audra seems to have changed for the better and he hopes it lasts. She tells Nate that he sounded more excited when he talked about medicine compared to a company meeting at Winters. He takes off, but then he thinks about Devon assaulting him and injuring his hand.
Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) finds Audra after that chat with Nate and talks about encouraging him to go back on medication. And Sally likes the idea of Audra with Nate instead of her chasing Noah. But Audra insists on it not like that. She just thinks Noah could do better.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam Feeling Low
Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) finds Adam brooding and he says he tried to talk to Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), but it blew up. Adam finds all the hate tiring, and he also doesn’t like Chelsea taking Billy’s side on some things. Adam is worried that it will affect his and Chelsea’s relationship.
And Adam compares it to Nikki being friends with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and how it messed things up with her and Victor. Chelsea is proud that Adam is trying to make peace and he said he was raising Delilah and it got really complicated. Chelsea reminds Adam to just walk away if things ever get heated between him and Billy.
Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Nikki join Chelsea and Adam. And then we have Nikki saying she can’t reach Victor. She’s worried because a tornado hit the club where he was speaking in Maryland. And then bam, Victor walks in and says he left right after his speech when he heard there was a tornado coming. I don’t know how you leave when there are bad storms like that, but okay, it’s a soap opera.
And Nikki asks about the other people at the event. Victor says he sent some of his people to help with the rescue effort, and he’s sure everyone, including Jack, will be fine. And then Victor says he’s the one he thinks Nikki was really worried sore. Then he walks away, leaving Chelsea, Adam, Nick and Nikki with their jaws dropped.
Y&R: Friday – Victor’s cryptic comments and Nikki’s health concerns
On Thursday 11 June, Victor’s latest business move surprises the family. So it can help spread the word that he gives Chancellor to Lily, unless he wants to make a big one Newman CEO announcement. Although Nikki didn’t think she would be back to run Chancellor because of their split, she will still be stunned. Nick and Adam already know, but Victoria just found out and didn’t find out from her dad, so she’s super ticked.
Nikki is in Nick, for whom he fights keep clean. So Nikki goes with him. It looks like it might be an NA meeting, a Narcotics Anonymous meeting with Nick, and she’s right there with him. She’s been there, you know, she’s been to plenty of AA meetings on her own. We have that too Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) opens up to Nate and shares a secret.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor Blasts Nikki
So on Friday, June 12, Victor puts Nikki on the spot about her health. Victoria may have told Victor about Nikki’s really bad headache, or Victor may see Nikki struggling with a debilitating headache. But after his Jack snark, I don’t think Nikki will open up to him.
Adam pays close attention Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), who asks Victor when they’re going to start this Cane plan, and Victor says they’ll start soon.
Phyllis reaches the summer. Hopefully that means we get her back to Genoa City. Also this week brings Phyllis Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) up to speed on the fact that she gave Newman back to Victor.
Y&R: 15.-19. June – Victor’s plans and Nikki’s diagnosis
So for the week of June 15-19, Victor’s plan to have Matt spy on Cane goes into high gear, but Victor’s tactics may change when he learns that Lily has appointed Cane as CEO of Chancellor. Obviously, this will annoy Victor. Also quick note if you are watching Beyond the Gates crossover, the timing of the two shows is off by one storyline.
So on Beyond the GatesDiane is there with Jack and Kyle, and Diane and Jack seem happy and reconciled. But over in Genoa City, Diane is still missing and a private eye is looking for her. But then Victor is on the right timeline. So I don’t know why Y&R didn’t do a better job of aligning the timelines and resolving the Diane stuff Young and restless since she has passed Beyond the Gates doing well.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Rough Road Ahead for Nick
Nick is going to face some stumbling blocks in recovery. It’s not going to be easy, oh, he’s in meetings, he’s going to rehab, and he’s staying clean. Uh, head writer Josh Griffith teased that Nick will probably come relapse. We should also get more information about the secret that Stephanie shared and things are getting very scary for Nikki and her family and I’m really curious to find out what her diagnosis is. Actress Melody Thomas Scott said that what Nikki is diagnosed with is nothing she has ever played before as an actress. So she says she did a lot of research.
And what we’re going to have next week is Nikki’s eyesight starting to deteriorate. So she goes to the doctor and she gets some scary news with a really different diagnosis than she expected. She has to make big decisions quickly, which leads her to some risky behavior. And when Billy finds out that Cane is running Chancellor, he can hit the roof. We’ll see if Billy tries to get his foot in the door. But also, he soon learns a secret, and Cane and Lily try to stop him from going after something.
