What to Watch Next Week
On Memorial Day, Y&R takes a look back at Devon (Bryton James) and Elena’s (Brytni Sarpy) love story. And when new episodes return starting on Tuesday, May 26, the biggest story will be Victor (Eric Braeden) gaining leverage over Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). Does this mean she will give up Summers Conglomerate?
There’s also Nick (Joshua Morrow) and his addiction. His obsession with tracking down an amnesiac Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is getting in the way of dealing with his issues. He should be attending an outpatient recovery program. Instead, he’s lying to his family about it, or skirting the topic altogether.
He’s making deals with Phyllis that run counter to his father’s wants and needs. And Nick will find himself in trouble. His life will hang in the balance. As a result, Victor will make a shocking decision that will directly affect his son. By the end of the week, Victor and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) will force Nick to face his issues.
Meanwhile, the Matt Clark drama has also had other unexpected results. Suddenly, it looks like a Patty-versus-Phyllis rivalry will erupt. Look for Phyllis to give Patty (Stacy Haiduk) a history lesson. There is bad blood between these two, and Phyllis is going to make sure Patty never forgets it. And in much lighter news, Lily (Christel Khalil) sees Cane (Billy Flynn) in a new light. That must mean the exes will probably grow closer and closer, and the animosity, secrets, and betrayal from the recent past will be over.
