On The Young and the Restless, January 23, Mariah is still haunted by the past. She has a growing fixation on Dominic. As Y&R fans recall, Mariah was a surrogate for Abby and Devon’s son. In her mind, she might still think that she’s his actual mother.
Key Takeaways
- Mariah is still struggling with her inner turmoil.
- Abby and Devon’s marriage could be tested.
- Mariah could be staging a kidnapping involving Dominic.
Happy Wife, Happy Life
On Friday’s episode, it was suggested that Devon (Bryton James) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) marriage is perfect. They ended up with an epic love story, even though their relationship is far from perfect.
It started out as a passionate love affair when Abby and Devon cheated on their respective exes, Chance (Conner Floyd) and Amanda (Mishael Morgan). Then, they ended up with full custody of Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark).
Initially, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) carried Dominic for Abby and Chance. But he was biologically Abby and Devon’s son because Devon donated his sperm.
The couple has been pushed off-screen because they were haunted by drama. Now they’re back, which means that trouble is coming. Their happy little family is about to come crumbling down.
Mariah’s Fixation on Dominic
It was previously assumed that Mariah left the clinic in Boston. She ended up at a motel near Genoa City. Mariah thought she couldn’t get any help for her trauma, so she ditched Tessa (Cait Fairbank) and Aria.
She thought this was the best decision for them. As for Mariah, she continues to crumble in Friday’s episode. She’s been talking to Ian’s (Ray Wise) ghost ever since she received psychiatric help. He convinces her to come up with a plan to kidnap Dominic.
How This Could Destroy Devon and Abby’s Marriage
Mariah isn’t just set on destroying her marriage, she’s also taking down Devon and Abby with her. Back in November, James hinted that Abby and Devon’s marital problems would be exposed.
“Devon’s going to find someone in his immediate family in danger, and that’s going to put Devon and Abby’s marriage to the test in new ways,” he hinted at the time.
Y&R seems set to rewrite Mariah’s history with Dominic. Long before Mariah started talking to Ian’s ghost, she reflected on the time she was pregnant with Dominic. It has been speculated that Mariah could be Dominic’s biological mother. This could destroy the happy family life that Abby and Devon have built together.
Will Dabby survive the hard truth and difficult challenges that await them?
