Scenes from Genoa City
The weekly spoilers reveal that Abby (Melissa Ordway) sets boundaries to protect her family, and the images above must be why. Abby and Dom (Ethan Ray Clark) run into Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Christine (Lauralee Bell) by accident. It’s the first time Dom sees the woman who kidnapped him and almost took him to Mexico.
Obviously, Abby will be angry because Mariah is wearing an ankle monitor. She can go anywhere. She isn’t in jail or a psychiatric facility. These accidental run-ins will keep happening unless she takes control. Will seeing Mariah traumatize Dom? How will he interact with her?
The teasers for Friday also suggest that Nate (Sean Dominic) and Devon (Bryton James) — who are about to welcome Shemar Moore and Vivica Fox back to Y&R — raise suspicions about Lily’s disappearance. They know nothing about her alleged deal with Victor to help him regain his company.
Lily (Christel Khalil, who’s filming again) and the kids are still lying low for the foreseeable future. Will Devon and Nate’s suspicions remain just that? Or will they actually try to find out the answers to their questions?
At Crimson Lights, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Noah (Lucas Adams), Sharon (Sharon Case), and Nick (Joshua Morrow) have a lot to talk about. One of those things is Victor’s next move. According to the spoilers, Nikki worries about her husband going rogue.
And who knows, Nikki could bring up exactly what her own revenge agenda is. She will undoubtedly have it out for Billy (Jason Thompson), who took over Chancellor. And Sharon and Noah need to worry about Nick. The pain in his leg is getting bad, and it might lead him down a dark path.
It looks like Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), and Adam (Mark Grossman) are conversing at the Ranch. They may be as worried about Victor (Eric Braeden) going rogue as Nikki is.
At this point, it’s unclear whether Victoria would let Adam and Chelsea in on her plans to clean up this whole mess, including going after Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Billy. Adam and Chelsea would probably love to be a part of whatever Victoria is cooking up.
