Holden is adjusting to being a member of the Winters family on The Young and the Restless. As the son of Malcolm, Holden’s gained a sister in Lily and a cousin in Devon. While everyone in the family’s been welcoming to Holden, Devon isn’t so happy with the new relative.
Key Takeaways
- Holden recently learned that Malcolm is his father.
- Lily has welcomed her half-brother into the Winters family with open arms.
- Devon’s protectiveness over his family has caused anger towards Holden.
Devon’s Real Feelings Towards Holden
Holden’s (Nathan Owens) life was thrown for a loop when Stephanie (Vivica A. Fox) revealed Malcolm (Shemar Moore) is his father. As news of Holden’s paternity spread, the Winters family immediately made him feel welcome. Well, almost everyone.
While Lily (Christel Khalil) is happy to have a new brother, Devon (Bryton James) is upset with his new cousin. So far, Devon’s made little effort to get to know Holden or make him feel welcome.
Devon hasn’t held back in his showing his dislike for the newest family member. Given that when Holden first came to Genoa City, he was impersonating Damian (Jermaine Rivers), it’s understandable that Devon distrusts Mr. Novak. But is there another underlying reason for Devon’s anger towards Holden?
On Reddit, a fan theory suggests Devon might be jealous of Holden’s newfound connection to Lily. “Devon is jealous of Holden. He has always been Lily’s only brother, and he is threatened by Holden since he is actually blood related,” the original poster wrote.
Many commenters agree with this theory. “It must be hard for him to accept that Lily has a brother who is a Winters by blood. I’m sure that is making him feel very insecure.”
“I think that’s it exactly!! It will come out eventually, he will say I’m not your real brother and I think you will relate to him more,” one viewer wrote.
Pushing His Family Away
Devon’s been in a foul mood recently, and it’s not just Holden he’s angry with. Devon’s fury started with Mariah (Camryn Grimes) kidnapping Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark), and now it’s spiraled to other people in his life.
He’s upset over Holden coming into the family, along with the prospect of Lily reuniting with Cane (Billy Flynn). While Devon is trying to be protective of his sister, his behavior is infuriating Lily.
Lily is one person who isn’t afraid to stand up to Devon and call out his angry attitude. Lily will make some good points, but knowing Devon, he won’t listen. If Devon doesn’t start to let go of anger, he might lose the family he loves and wants to protect so much.
