On The Young and the Restless, November 19, Lily finds a friend in Holden. She needs someone to talk to after seeing Cane and Phyllis together. Their previous connection had us seeing sparks flying between them, and the soap should build on that.
Key Takeaways
- Lily confided in Holden.
- Holden is interested in Claire.
- Claire told Holden that she doesn’t want to jump into another relationship.
- Holden should get to know Lily, who knows what she wants.
An Unlikely Shoulder To Lean On
Lily (Christel Khalil) found herself defending Cane (Billy Flynn) to Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman). However, she needs time when it comes to reconciling with him.
Over the summer, Lily got close to Damian (Jermaine Rivers) when they were in Nice. But then he got a knife in the back, which ruined her chances of a romantic connection.
What Lily needs is a fresh start. On Wednesday’s episode, she crossed paths with Damian’s best friend, Holden (Nathan Owens), at the lounge at GCAC. She needed a drink after spotting Cane and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) together.
Meanwhile, Holden’s feelings for Claire (Hayley Erin) became clear after their trip to Los Angeles. However, she told Holden that she wasn’t sure they should jump back into bed together anytime soon. Claire wants to return to some sort of normalcy, despite the passion they shared. She wants time to figure herself out. The last thing she needs is another serious relationship.
This suggests that Holden is free to do as he pleases. So, his jokes broke the ice with Lily. But she wanted to know what he does for Cane. She advised Holden to move back to LA and find a new job.
Another Chemistry Test?
Y&R fans remember when the show chemistry tested Lily and Holden during the summer. There were apparent sparks between them. However, the soap decided to focus on Holden’s growing connection with Claire.
On Wednesday’s episode, Lily told Holden that she doesn’t trust him. However, she should make the most of this unlikely friendship. She should take her mind off business and get to know Holden.
He’s good-looking, charming, and available. Lily could use some fun in her life, especially since Cane has no problem hooking up with Phyllis. This move proved that he’s no longer going to wait around for his ex-wife.
It’s time for Lily to move on as well. That almost happened when she was with Damian. But maybe his death could bring her closer to Holden. Plus, unlike Claire, Lily already knows what she wants, and she goes for it. Holden needs a woman like that rather than waiting around for someone who isn’t as serious about him.
