When Matt Clark returned, it created much excitement on The Young and the Restless. For the past three months, fans have watched him terrorize the Newman family. But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Matt’s departure has fans feeling upset.
Key Takeaways
- Matt made his return in October 2025.
- He traveled from LA to Genoa City to get revenge on his wife Sienna.
- Matt’s reign of terror has seemingly come to an end.
To The Big House
After a two-decade absence, Matt (Roger Howarth) made his shocking return in 2025. He was now living in Los Angeles under the guise as Mitch Bacall. However, it was evident he was still up to his wicked ways.
Matt hadn’t forgotten about his old rivals Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case). But his main focus was on their son Noah (Lucas Adams), who was having an affair with his wife Sienna (Tamara Braun). When Noah and Sienna fled to Genoa City, Matt followed them, intent on revenge.
Matt’s kidnapping plot against Sienna was foiled by Nick, and the villain later became a pawn in the Newman and Abbott war. After being bounced around between the two families, Matt was finally put into Victor’s clutches. The Moustache took care of him by turning him over to the authorities.
However, Matt being sent off to jail wasn’t shown onscreen. Instead, it was just mentioned in passing, so from the looks of it, it appears Matt’s story has wrapped up, and fans on Reddit aren’t happy.
“Are they really going to end it like that and have it all happen off camera? I had a feeling it would fizzle out,” wrote one viewer. “They didn’t end this the right way at all,” declared one commenter.
“A courtroom scene would have been great. I can’t remember the last time there was one. I thought that Matt would be involved in Nick’s drug use but that won’t happen if he is in jail now,” one fan replied.
Have We Seen The Last of Matt?
It seems like Matt’s reign of terror has ended…for now. With him locked up in jail, Sienna, Noah, and The Newmans can rest a little easier.
However, the door is always open for a return, and chances are viewers haven’t seen the last of him. Soap villains tend to escape from prison, so it wouldn’t be surprising if The Newmans get word of Matt’s escape.
If Matt does break out of the big house, it’ll be interesting to see his next move. Odds are he’s not finished with Sienna and Noah and will come after them. Or will Victor be his target since The Moustache is the one who sent him to prison?
