Matt Clark made his big return to The Young and the Restless, which came as a shock to longtime fans of the show. Head writer and executive producer, Josh Griffith, teased his insidious and twisted plans.
Key Takeaways
- Matt Clark came back from the dead.
- Noah’s affair with Sienna will put him into overdrive.
- This will prompt Matt to exact revenge on Sharon and Nick, once and for all.
Noah Unknowingly Causes Trouble
Noah (Lucas Adams) has no idea the trouble he has caused. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Griffith talked about Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) shocking rise from the dead. He will go after Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) for what their son did to him.
First, let’s take a step back. Matt Clark changed his name to Mitch Bacall, who turned his life around in Los Angeles. “I thought, ‘Okay, let’s say that he came back to life and created a new persona. He’s living in L.A., and he’s in the rock and roll world,'” Griffith explained.
Sharon quickly learned that Mitch is actually Matt Clark, who has taunted her and Nick for years. He would do anything to break them apart. And now their son, Noah, is having an affair with his wife, Sienna (Tamara Braun).
Noah’s currently recovering from a horrific car accident that nearly took his life. He woke up from his coma. But his road to recovery is far from over. Griffith teased, “Was this all a setup for Matt? Did meeting Noah bring back all his anger and all the past?”
War On The Newmans
As a result, Mitch’s true colors are about to come out. He’ll likely revert to his Matt Clark persona in no time. Most of his anger will be directed at the couple, even though they didn’t cause the affair.
Still, in Matt’s mind, they took away the one woman he was truly in love with. He thought he could easily kill their son. But seeing him survive will put him into hyperdrive. Matt assumed that Sharon and Nick would be in shambles when they showed up in Los Angeles. What will happen is that Matt will lose Sienna to Noah, which will bring out his dark side.
Y&R fans have wondered whether Matt Clark’s return is more about Nick than Sharon, and they could be right. Griffith teased that this war would come down to a showdown between these two men.
More Trouble To Come
Sharon and Nick assume they can confront their attacker and leave him behind in LA. But trouble is bound to follow them all the way in Genoa City.
“It becomes a nightmare, not just for Nick and Sharon, but to the whole Newman family,” the scribe teased. This preview suggests that no one in the family is safe. The Newmans haven’t already gone through enough in recent years.
Who knows who could end up getting harmed? Who do you think will end up in Matt’s crosshairs?
