The Young and the Restless dropped a bomb on fans with the news that Malcolm has aplastic anemia and must have a bone marrow transplant. Lily needs to save her bio dad, but things are not going her or Malcolm’s way.
Key Takeaways
- Lily is desperate to save Malcolm for more than one reason.
- The options for a bone marrow transplant are depleting quickly.
- One person seems likely to save the day.
Lily Needs Another Plan to Help Malcolm
It’s been quite the roller coaster ride for Lily (Christel Khalil) since Malcolm (Shemar Moore) returned to Genoa City. Not only is Malcolm sick, but Lily also has a newfound brother in Holden (Nathan Owens).
Lily’s laser-focused on saving Malcolm because she couldn’t save Neil (the late Kristoff St. John). However, she can’t donate because she’s a cancer survivor, putting her in the position of having to rely on someone else to help her bio dad.
When she learned Holden was her brother, Lily was able to breathe a bit. Sadly, Holden wasn’t a match, leaving it up to one of Lily’s kids to save the day.
In true soap fashion, neither of the twins were able to donate bone marrow to Malcolm. Lily’s life is turned upside down as she searches for someone who is a match.
Stephanie (Vivica A. Fox) remains in Genao City, which bodes well that a match will be found and Malcom will be back for the procedure. Even though Nate (Sean Dominic) and Devon (Bryton James) aren’t biologically related to Malcolm, they could still get tested and likely will once Lilly comes clean with them.
Y&R fans are convinced that Cane (Billy Flynn) will be Lily’s knight in shining armor to save Malcolm. One fan on X brought it up the second Lily and Holden were ruled out.
It’s not uncommon for someone outside the family to be a bone marrow match. Cane being the savior would be a sure way to jumpstart his relationship with Lily and earn him some goodwill with the Winters family.
Only time will tell, but it better not be too much longer, because time is one thing Malcolm doesn’t have on his side.
