Key Takeaways

What Happened to Connor Newman?
Connor (Judah Mackey, who explained Connor’s OCD) was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has been through a lot over the years and was also diagnosed with trauma.
Recently, Connor’s parents, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman), noticed that Connor made progress in his therapy, only to discover that he was faced with another setback.
Connor struggled with intrusive thoughts, such as telling himself that he doesn’t deserve happiness. During that difficult time, Chelsea and Adam locked lips and took their relationship to the next level, ultimately ending their respective relationships with Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Love).
They moved in together at the old Newman Ranch with Connor. But he was sent off to school, where he’s working with a new doctor.
Chelsea and Adam’s Shocking Update
Prior to Billy and Sally’s launch party, Chelsea and Adam showed up at the Newman Ranch. They gave Victor (Eric Braeden) an update on Connor. He dropped out of his school’s party at the last minute. So, they’re going to leave Genoa City briefly to go see him. Chelsea and Adam didn’t share any details about whether they were spending Christmas there with Connor.
Nor did they say whether Connor was returning home for Christmas. They also didn’t explain how long their stay would be. They only suggested that he has dealt with some minor setbacks lately, especially since he has been working with a new doctor.
What’s Next For Connor?
This development could set up Connor’s storyline for 2026. He might return to Genoa City since he’s struggling to work with his doctor. Adam and Chelsea might discover that Connor dislikes his doctor or his school.
The Y&R preview for this week suggests that Chelsea and Adam’s marriage might be tested. Chelsea will give Adam an ultimatum after he released the hit piece about Jack (Peter Bergman).
They could be headed for a separation. Once the word gets out, Connor could struggle with another setback.
