On the November 12 episode of The Young and the Restless, Adam, Jack, Chelsea, Sally, Audra, and Victor all invoked Ava, the baby Sally and Adam lost three years ago. This is a soap. And we know what it means on a soap when a character is suddenly talked about endlessly. Especially if they’re dead. Could that be the case here?

Ava Hope Is Still With Us

Sally (Courtney Hope) blamed Adam (Mark Grossman) for their loss of a stillborn Ava during the summer of 2023. He had to choose between Ava’s life and Sally’s, and he chose Sally.

When Sally became pregnant again, this time with Billy’s (Jason Thompson) baby, it affected Adam. But when he actually delivered the child, that’s when Adam was really forced to deal with his feelings about Ava. Everyone can see that Ruby’s birth has really done a number on him.

Adam confessed to Jack (Peter Bergman) that he can’t help but think about what Ava would be like now. Would she be into dance or sports? (Pssst, Adam, it’s possible to love both.) Maybe Adam still has the chance to find out?

Could Ava Be Alive?

All this revived talk about Ava is making us wonder: Could Sally and Adam’s little girl be alive? After all, think of all the folks in Genoa City who have come back from the dead. Sure, they were adults, and Ava was an infant. It’s not like she got up and walked herself out of the hospital morgue.

But remember when Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole (J. Eddie Peck) thought they’d lost their newborn, Eve? They even watched her die and everything. Turns out that wasn’t the case. We met Claire (Hayley Erin) in October of 2023. She’s Eve, kidnapped by her crazy aunt and raised to hate the Newmans.

Could Ava turn out to be the same? And if so, who would have had reason to snatch her?
