The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor Tells Adam Everything

The Young and the Restless Spoilers Highlights

Adam (Mark Grossman) can barely believe his ears. What is Victor (Eric Braeden) talking about? HE killed AJ. He was just a child. How could that be? Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) starts to tell Adam off but Victor stops her and asks to speak to his son alone.

That’s when he tells the whole tale of how a little boy killed a grown man. Adam insisted he couldn’t be a cold-blooded killer, but Victor told him he wasn’t. He was just a terrified child determined to protect his mother.

He tells Victor he knows he couldn’t have done such a thing but Victor insists, yes, he sure did and now he can’t have the Newman CEO position anymore. This sent Adam off into more of a tantrum and he vowed he’d never give up. The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for airtimes.
