What to Watch Next Week on Y&R
Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Mariah (Camryn Grimes) get back on track on Wednesday, November 11, the very first day of the Giddens and O’Connor era. The last time we saw Tessa was back in April, when she told Daniel (Michael Graziadei) she couldn’t go to Barcelona to work on their music while Danny (Michael Damian) was performing at a private club there.
Elsewhere in Genoa City, Abby (Melissa Ordway) isn’t feeling well, and now that Devon (Bryton James) is back from producing an album for The Articulettes, Abby’s able to share her health concerns with her husband. Initially, she thought she might be pregnant. Have her feelings changed?
Meanwhile, the Abbotts and the Newmans can’t stay away from each other. Victor (Eric Braeden, who recently reunited with Heather Tom) and Jack (Peter Bergman) settle unfinished business while the rivalry between Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Diane (Susan Walters) heats up.
After Nikki crashed Diane’s photo shoot, she and Diane will force Daniel to make a tough decision. Also, it seems like Nikki’s actually going to hold Sharon’s (Sharon Case) participation in the Jabot Classic photo shoot against her. She’ll question Sharon’s loyalty next week. And look for Adam (Mark Grossman) to share damaging evidence with Jack.
Finally, on the same day that Danny and Christine (Lauralee Bell) receive a surprise visitor, Audra (Zuleyka Silver) will turn to someone from her past for a favor. Friday the 13th may not be so lucky for Billy (Jason Thompson). Jack will try to protect his brother from himself.
