Brand-new The Young and the Restless spoilers promise that Neil’s past is coming back to haunt him. His issues with his mother stayed buried for way too long, but they’re about bubble to the surface!

Neil’s Mother Caused His Emotional Troubles
Neil’s (Kristoff St. John) childhood was full of turmoil and heartbreak. His mother’s wandering eye made for a miserable marriage and he can’t remember a time his mom wasn’t cheating on his dad. Neil isn’t sure what exactly happened between his parents, but he knows his mother left when he was young and he never saw her again.

Sadly, Neil’s only contact with his mother Lucinda (Nichelle Nichols) came via letters after the divorce. However, Neil never opened a single one. Instead, he threw them away out of pain and anger. He doesn’t care what she had to say then and doesn’t now. She chose a life in other men’s beds instead of being with her family.

Hilary Has the Dirt!
Little does he know, some of those letters are still floating around. During their marriage, Hilary (Mishael Morgan) fished the letters from the trash and kept them. She was hoping one day he’d want to forgive his mom and read what she had to say. Not only that, but there are notes for Lily (Christel Khalil), Devon (Bryton James), and the twins.

How Did She Know?
If Neil hasn’t spoken to his mom all these years, how has she kept such close tabs on his life? It looks like Mother Winters knows just about everything about him although they parted ways a lifetime ago. Is she living close to Genoa City and was never brave enough to step forward in person?
