On the September 17 episode of The Young and the Restless, Christian’s name was brought up repeatedly. Will we finally see Nick’s long invisible son?
Key Takeaways
- Nick thanked Adam for watching Christian.
- Nick expressed a wish to get on with his life.
- Christian is old enough to be a problem.
Christian Spent Most of His Childhood Offscreen
Christian was born in October 2015. He spent the first year of his life being raised by Sharon (Sharon Case), who was tricked into believing he was her son, Sully. Once the truth came out, Nick (Joshua Morrow) took his son back, even though he knew Adam (Mark Grossman) was the boy’s biological father.
For a while, Nick and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) raised Christian and Conner (Judah Mackey) as brothers. When Adam came back to Genoa City, he tried to sue Nick for custody, but that went nowhere. That entire time, Christian was a little boy who was rarely seen and even more rarely heard.
Nick’s Latest Comments Make Christian Sound Ready for a SORAS
However, when Nick went to rehab this summer, viewers learned that the boy who should only be turning 11 years old next month was now old enough to drive. Nick asked Adam to look out for Christian, then thanked him for doing so.
Does this mean that Christian is about to make his triumphant, SORAS-ed return? The timing is good. Y&R has no teenagers on the canvas, and Chelsea and Adam just discussed Conner going to boarding school, which is usually also code for a quick age up.
Christian Learning Adam Is His Father Could Give Y&R Its Next Generation of Newman Drama
Christian has a built-in story: Finding out that Adam, not Nick, is his biological father. And Conner has a built-in reason to resent his new brother.
Remember how Conner managed to make Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) finding out that Chelsea was his biological mother all about himself? Can you imagine the drama of him finding out about Christian? This is how you build the next generation’s Cain and Abel. With Victor (Eric Braeden) there to make the final Solomon’s Choice.
