Young and the Restless gives Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) struggling with pain every day. He’s not being honest about the extent of it, and he may be headed down the dark and scary path of addiction.

Nick’s Current Struggle on Young and the Restless

Not too long ago, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) took Nick back to the doctor and they wrote him a refill on his pain pills. That’s a good thing because after he ran out of the prescription meds and he was still in pain and was raging—I think in part because of the pain—he did consider taking one of Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) fentanyl pills, but he didn’t.

Then Sharon helped him get a legitimate refill. So, for now, even though Nick is still in a lot of pain from breaking his leg and the surgery, at least he’s got one bottle of legal pain meds that he can still go through. But that refill is going to run out, especially with him taking more pills than he should. And then what happens? The doctor’s not going to keep refilling the opioids. That’s not what doctors do anymore.

Nick Newman’s Breaking Point: Will Pain Pills Lead to a Y&R Addiction Storyline?

We can all see that Phyllis Summers‘ (Michelle Stafford) and Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) attack on Newman is really stressing Nick out. The threat of Matt Clark had been upsetting him, especially since he’s to blame for the car crash that broke Nick’s leg that required the surgery in the first place. Also, I don’t think Matt Clark is done.

We’re in February sweeps and they exited him off-screen. That would be insanely bad writing and a big miss for ratings. So, we’ll see. But we’ve also always seen that Nick’s got a short temper. He always has, but it’s gotten even shorter lately. Like when he was arguing with Phyllis about her teaming up with Cane and using the AI to take everything from Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and the other Newmans.

Then, Noah Newman’s (Lucas Adams) planning to leave town with his much older lover, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun). Sharon is spiraling because she just found out Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) kidnapped Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) and ran off with him. So all of this is going to have Nick stressed out. That’s going to aggravate his pain, and I think that one bottle of pills he got is going to go really fast.

Fentanyl and the Newman Family: The Dangerous Path to Illegal Drugs on Young and the Restless

From there, I think it’s feasible that Nick may turn to fentanyl or some other illegal drug once the doctor cuts off the legal pain meds. If he wasn’t going to take the drugs that Matt Clark gave him, I think Nick would have already flushed them or tossed the bag out, but he didn’t.

I think one tablet of fentanyl may be enough to get Nick hooked given the addiction gene that runs in the Newman family. So, we’re going to talk about some of the bad outcomes if he does pop those illegal pills that Matt Clark gave him. The road to addiction could lead Nick to some very bad places.

First of all—and this would be a terrible thing to do—we could see his judgment so askew that Nick goes and winds up in bed with Phyllis. Obviously, she and Cane are going to crash and burn because he’s still in love with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and he already told Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) that what he’s got going on with Phyllis is not love.

Manipulation and Betrayal: Nick and Phyllis’ Complicated History on Y&R

This week, Victor tells Cane that he’s got Lily and the twins and he’s trying to scare Cane into stopping the Newman takeover. If that works and Cane backs off, I think Phyllis is going to turn on Cane in a heartbeat. And I think Phyllis will try and continue the Newman takeover plot on her own.

Nick might think that he can outsmart her, get close to Phyllis, convince her to stop, and try and use her feelings for him to shut her down. But if Nick’s on drugs, his judgment’s not going to be the best and he might mess up while trying to manipulate Phyllis. You know, Nick has a long, complicated history with Phyllis.

And yes, she is a train wreck, but she’s also been in love with Nick for a long time. At one point, he loved Phyllis. And if he’s deep in the throes of addiction, I think Phyllis might get the chance to sink her claws into him again. And that leads us to the next possible disaster to talk about.

The End of Shick? How Addiction Could Ruin Nick and Sharon’s Young and the Restless Reunion

The second thing is that Nick may screw up things with Sharon. She and Nick were on their way to a reunion. They shared a couple of kisses and they talked about reuniting and it seemed to be that they agreed on it, but then nothing happened. It’s not even a slow burn for Sharon and Nick at this point. It’s a no burn. There’s not even a simmer of action happening between them.

It’s like Josh Griffith hates the idea of writing anything romantic for Nick and Sharon. Or maybe he just forgot. I don’t know how to explain the fact that he just abruptly dropped it. If Nick spirals into addiction, I think fans of him with Sharon may never get the real reunion they were hoping to see at last.

Now, I will say if Nick is struggling with addiction, I think that’s something Sharon can handle and help with. But if Nick gets too close to Phyllis, that could be a dealbreaker. I think Sharon would be absolutely disgusted if Nick tangled with Phyllis after what she’s done to his family.

Violence and Rage: The Dark Side of Nick Newman’s Hot Temper on Y&R

Over and above Nick being with Phyllis, if Nick’s not thinking clearly, he might fall in bed with random women. Maybe strangers, maybe chicks he meets while out looking for street drugs. I think that would be something Sharon couldn’t handle or tolerate. Another thing we could see if Nick falls into opioid addiction is he could turn really violent.

I mean, Victor’s son is already a hothead and Nick has a tendency to punch first and think about it later. So, he might get physical with Cane because he’s already eager to give him a beating. That could get him arrested. Nick might snap at Sharon. There’s no telling who Nick might let loose on.

I don’t think he would physically hurt Sharon, but he may throw things around and scare her. Even without pills in his system, I mean, we know Nick got a terrible temper. He’s been like that for years. So, I would expect more anger, more rage, and him maybe smacking some people around.

Nikki Newman and Jack Abbott: Confronting the Signs of Opioid Addiction

Another thing we might see is that if Nick’s getting hooked on painkillers, then Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) may be the first ones to notice the signs of addiction. But I think if either of them approached Nick, I think he would lash out at them.

Addicts always get defensive. They deny they have a problem. And Nick might spew ugly things at his mom, Nikki, and snark about her sobriety issues, making her paranoid. You know, addicts can get really mean and they say stuff they wouldn’t otherwise.

I think Jack in the end could end up saving Nick if it goes down this road because Jack’s been addicted to pills. So, he really understands the struggle. But I think Nick would have to be pushed to accept help.

Ruining the Brotherhood: Nick and Adam Newman’s Fragile Bond on Young and the Restless

The last thing to consider if Nick gets hooked on drugs is that he may ruin his newfound brotherly bond with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). They’ve gotten really close recently, but before that, Nick and Adam had years of rivalry, and we all know that drugs bring out the absolute worst in people.

So, Nick might start being a real jerk to Adam. And I think he might figure out that Nick is struggling, and I think Adam might actually try to help, but I think Nick would just lash out at Adam and say, “Oh, you finally have all of Victor Newman’s attention.” That kind of thing.

I think Nick’s going to lash out at a lot of people. Addicts usually turn on people they love. And Nick’s already snapping at Sharon, at Noah, and at Sienna. He’s threatened to get physically violent with Cane. He was threatening Phyllis. And that’s before Nick touched illegal drugs. If he pops a fentanyl, I think from there, all bets are off.

Days of Our Lives fans, we’ve got some big shockers coming for Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson). Now that he’s out of the hospital, the family felt like he was ready to hear that his grandpa Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo)’s bones were the ones that they found in the crypt.

But there’s another huge secret lingering that’s been lingering for years. That’s the truth about the death of Theo’s mom, Lexie Carver (Renee Jones). We’re going to talk about why Theo’s been kept in the dark about his mom’s fate and how that is going to play into what’s ahead.

Theo Carver Leaves the Hospital Amidst Stefano DiMera Bone Discovery on Days of Our Lives

So, Theo’s finally out of University Hospital, but when Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) told EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) that it was Stefano’s bones in the crypt, Theo was still a patient. And he even said that the FBI made doubly sure they DNA matched those bones to both Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and EJ.

So they have all the certainty in the world those are Stefano’s bones. Chad was up at the hospital to see Theo, but he did not tell them about what the FBI found out. So, that left it to his dad, Abe Carver (James Reynolds), to tell Theo about Stefano’s bones.

And later, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe both agreed that the truth about Stefano’s role in Lexie’s death would be just too much for Theo to hear at this point. But I think it’s going to come out anyway, especially since I’m increasingly certain that his mom, Lexie, is the lady in the test tube that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton)’s about to revive.

The Complex Bond Between Stefano DiMera and Theo Carver on DOOL

So, Days of Our Lives history tells us that Stefano and Theo did have a really close relationship. Stefano never had any issue about Theo being neurodivergent. He treated him with love, with kindness, and master chess player Stefano even taught Theo the game and they played whenever they could.

And that’s why he still loves the game even now was because of Stefano. So on the flip of that, Lexie tried to shield Theo from the dark side of Stefano. And Lexie often struggled with her own DiMera heritage and she occasionally engaged in sketchy behavior while defending Stefano and the DiMera family.

So, in the end, what Lexie had was a complex and loving but also a very strained relationship with her dad Stefano. She was good for him. I will say that Lexie brought out the softer side of crime boss Stefano.

Revisiting Lexie Carver’s Tragic Death in the DiMera Tunnels on Days

And later in her life, Lexie faked her death and she went into hiding. But then Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) abducted her, if you remember your history. And from there, he stashed Lexie down in the toxic, fume-filled, infamous underground DiMera tunnels for many, many months.

And despite Andre snatching her, Lexie was eventually rescued and she was reunited with the family. But she had already been exposed to the toxins for way too long. And sadly, that’s why Theo’s mom developed inoperable brain tumors that took her life. If you were watching back then, you may recall that Stefano felt personally responsible.

He felt a lot of deep guilt about Lexie’s illness that finally took her life. And if it weren’t for all the DiMera family schemes and Andre’s actions, obviously Lexie would never have been down in the tunnels to be exposed to the toxic fumes. So while Stefano didn’t directly cause Lexie’s death, he did bring Andre into their lives and those were DiMera tunnels. So he had an indirect hand in it.

Lexie Carver’s Legacy and the Secret of Her Final Forgiveness on Days of Our Lives

And in the end, Stefano got Lexie’s forgiveness before she died. She told Stefano that she loved him. And then Lexie passed away peacefully in Abe’s arms. That was June 20th, 2012. She was just 46 and she left behind obviously her loving husband Abe and her young son Theo.

Lexie and Abe had conceived Theo after a long period of infertility issues. And if you were watching then, you know she was a devoted, loving, and fiercely protective mom. Lexie and Abe both advocated for their autistic son, and they always gave Theo the best life they could.

And then in Lexie’s final weeks of life, she spent as much precious and meaningful time as she could with Theo and Abe. And of course, losing his mother took a toll on young Theo. But Abe and everybody else in the family made sure to keep Lexie’s memory alive for him.

Is Dr. Wilhelm Rolf Reviving Lexie Carver in the Secret Test Tube?

All these hints about Dr. Rolf’s human test subject in the tube absolutely point to Lexie being back to the land of the living at long last. I suspect Stefano had Lexie frozen, kept her in cryostasis, and tasked EJ and Rolf to find a way to resurrect her and restore her to life since felt responsible for her death.

And that way, Theo could eventually have his mom back. But before Lexie is resurrected, assuming it is her in the tube, Theo may finally learn the ugly truth about his mom’s death and Stefano’s role in it. Now, recently, Abe and Paulina were talking about Stefano, Lexie, and Theo.

And Abe was wondering aloud if he should tell Theo the truth about Stefano’s indirect role in Lexie’s death. But Paulina shut that down and she said it could be really damaging for Theo to hear that. Basically, nothing productive could come of it and they should just let Theo keep the good memories of Stefano and his good memories of Lexie. And Abe agreed.

Abe and Paulina Struggle to Keep the Truth From Theo Carver on DOOL

But we all know from watching soap operas that if somebody works that hard to keep a secret hidden, that means it’s going to come out sooner or later and in this case many years later. So far, Theo’s extended family and friends have kept quiet because a lot of people know exactly why Lexie got sick and died. And Theo may find out the truth soon.

And you never know, he might hear it directly from Lexie if EJ and Dr. Rolf succeed in bringing her back from the dead. If you remember, Theo was just nine when he lost his mom and then later Days of Our Lives aged his character up. But at the time that Lexie passed, Theo was just an elementary school kid. So, I personally think it should be left to Lexie to explain how she got the tumor that killed her.

Stefano DiMera’s Memorial Could Reveal Explosive Family Secrets on Days

But with Stefano’s upcoming memorial, anything is possible. I don’t think anybody would say something deliberately to hurt Theo, but it could slip out of someone’s mouth in a careless way, especially if things get contentious at the memorial.

You know, it could be Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) that spills the beans because he despised Stefano and he pretty much is ready to dance on his grave. Also, this week, Chad’s trying to get EJ and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) to play nice.

So, one of them could blurt out something at the memorial while bickering about the family. One way or another, Theo is going to learn the hard facts about Stefano and the role he played in Lexie’s illness and death.

And it could be EJ who tells his nephew that Stefano wanted to make things right for Theo and explain that he and Dr. Rolf have been working to bring Lexie back for Theo for many years.

Will Lexie Carver’s Return Heal or Tear Apart the DiMera Family on Days of Our Lives?

So, I think he may be initially angry at the role that Stefano played in him losing Lexie, but then Theo might actually be grateful if EJ and Dr. Rolf revive her on Stefano’s orders after all these years. EJ really cared about Lexie and he seems to care for Theo as well.

So, this could be a big family bonding moment or could be something explosive that rips the DiMeras apart. I think we’re going to find out sooner rather than later because it’s February sweeps which wraps up on the 25th of this month. I suspect we could see Lexie revived by then.

How I Met Your Mother was a pop culture phenomenon during its nine-season run and in the years that followed.

How I Met Your Mother told leading man Ted Mosby’s (Josh Radnor) love story in reverse — ultimately leading up to the moment where he meets the mother of his children. Radnor starred alongside Alyson Hannigan (Lily Aldrin), Jason Segel (Marshall Eriksen), Neil Patrick Harris (Barney Stinson) and Cobie Smulders (Robin Scherbatsky).

The sitcom, which ran on CBS from 2005 to 2014, also featured the late bob Bob Saget narrating as a future version of Ted Mosby.

“Something about How I Met Your Mother was [that] it always upended your expectations,” Radnor told HuffPost Live in 2016. “It always made you cry, it always was not what you thought it was.”

Shortly after the show concluded, it was announced that a spinoff series titled How I Met Your Dad was in the works at CBS with Bays, Thomas and Emily Spivey. The project was ultimately scrapped, but a new version, with Hilary Duff in the lead role, debuted in January 2022. How I Met Your Father was canceled in 2023 after two seasons.

Scroll down to see where the original How I Met Your Mother cast is now:

Bold and the Beautiful weekly spoilers for February 9th – 13th divulge Eric Forrester (John McCook) delivering a big shocker and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) exploding about something.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what’s ahead next week.

Deacon and Taylor Take Risks While Liam Discovers Eric’s Secret on Bold and the Beautiful

So, on Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). They’re playing with fire. The question is not will they get caught, but when will they get caught and by whom? Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is determined that this thing with them won’t happen, but yeah, it’s happening.

Over at Logan, looks like Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) finds out that Eric Forrester is Katie Logan (Heather Tom)’s lead designer and Liam may walk in on a design meeting or something. I suspect Liam will be shocked but will also be thrilled for Katie and he may tell Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).

Although, I’m sure that Liam is going to be warned to keep this a secret. I don’t know if he’ll be able to keep it from his wife. And if Liam does tell Hope, then she’ll be stuck secret keeping or betraying her aunt Katie and Eric to Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). That’s a tough position to be in. Donna Logan’s (Jennifer Gareis) already in that position.

Ridge Forrester Racked with Guilt Over Eric’s Ousting on B&B

Meanwhile, Ridge is racked with guilt on Wednesday. I wonder if having RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) back up at the office designing is going to have Ridge really missing Eric after forcing him out the door and essentially ejecting him out of Forrester, the company that he founded. I think Ridge absolutely should feel guilty.

Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Taylor and Deacon enjoying more secret smooches even though Steffy threatened her mom. This is Taylor’s chance to have her destiny. And she is not going to let it go very easily, even though, of course, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and Steffy are going to be ongoing obstacles.

We’re also going to have more Ridge scenes on Thursday. And we’re going to have RJ up at work. I wonder how long until he asks Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) about her friend Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) that he met. And I thought that RJ and Dylan had really good chemistry, much better than RJ did with Electra, which to me just came off kind of low-key creepy.

I do suspect Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) may tell Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) or Electra what she saw. Clearly Dylan is not going to do what Ivy said. She’s not going to leave town because the actress is on contract and that means there’s another confrontation coming and some truth telling.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Carter’s Growing Suspicion and Eric’s Creative Masterpieces

Friday, February 6th, we’ve got Sheila, suspicious, but still has no clue that Deacon is betraying their marriage with Taylor and that Deacon has fallen in love with his therapist. But with Sheila’s husband continually disappearing to sneak off and smooch Taylor, obviously Sheila is going to get more and more suspicious. And then all heck is going to break loose.

Plus, Katie is floored when she sees all of Eric’s sketches. He is absolutely going to shock Katie because there’s a whole collection and it’s ready to put in production and the gowns are absolutely perfect. He is at the pinnacle of his creative path.

So, Katie’s going to see the designs and says it is exactly what she wants for Logan. Eric again reminds Katie that they have to keep all of this under wraps. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is going to be just as impressed as Katie with all the sketches.

Bill is going to be completely cheering for Katie and Eric. I know that Bill’s super happy to have Eric on board as lead designer because he knows how bad it’s going to chafe Ridge when he finds out that his dad is over there working at Logan. But that is Ridge’s fault for ejecting Eric and forcing him into a retirement that he didn’t want.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Drops a Nuclear Bombshell on Ridge About Taylor and Deacon

Plus, Steffy drops a nuclear bombshell on Ridge and tells her dad that Taylor has fallen for Deacon and that Taylor is insisting that she wants to be with him despite the Sheila risk.

Obviously, Ridge is going to lose his mind, but I think when Brooke finds out, she may be overjoyed because she’s been very vocal about wanting Taylor to find a destiny of her own and to be happy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke heads over to Taylor’s office to say, “This is great and you should go for it.”

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we’ve got Eric and Katie getting really busy. They have this whole collection. So, now they just need to take those sketches, get them into production, get the gowns made for Logan.

I am curious to see if there’s any chance we’re going to get a fashion show by the end of the month before February sweeps ends. If not, I feel like they may save it and do it in May sweeps because Bold and the Beautiful isn’t exactly known for moving at a rapid fire pace. So, we’ll see.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: The Forbidden Romance of Deacon and Taylor Continues

Deacon and Taylor are going to keep sneaking around like teenagers at this point. They do love each other. They took their time and they fell in love. Granted, he’s married and they did it behind his psychotic wife’s back, but I also think that part of what’s happening between them is it’s forbidden fruit.

So, they are kind of like teenagers. This is a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing where they’ve been told to stay away from each other. That’s just making it more enticing and more electric. And yeah, they’re going to get intimate sooner rather than later. That’s the vibe I’m feeling. They are absolutely going to keep creeping around behind Steffy and Sheila’s backs.

B&B Spoilers: Sheila Carter Turns Stalker as Deacon Ignores Her Texts

I believe Sheila is going to be stalking soon because Deacon is going to be disappearing. She was texting him when he was over at the Malibu house with Taylor and Deacon’s not answering her text. So, Sheila is not going to put up with this. She’s already on high alert.

Ridge may go and warn Deacon that he better stay away from Taylor or else. I don’t think that’s going to impress Deacon very much. Ridge may also go and tell Taylor she’s playing with fire and to stay away from Deacon. Sheila shot her once and the family lost her. But none of that’s going to work.

Brooke, on the other hand, may go see both of them and encourage it. If she does, I think Ridge and Steffy are both going to be annoyed with her. I’m looking forward to Hope and Brooke having a conversation about this soon.

Relationship Drama for Will, Electra, and the Mystery of Dylan

Will and Electra are going to start having issues with their relationship. I’m guessing this stems from her aunt Ivy kicking homeless Dylan back out onto the streets, bullying her. And forcing her to lie to Will and Electra by intimidating her basically.

I’ve seen a lot on soap social media. The jury is back on this and everybody agrees Ivy’s being awful. Side note, has anybody noticed that Ashleigh Brewer is in these really drapey shirts? I wonder if she might be pregnant. She got married at the end of the year. I’m not saying her body looks pregnant; I’m saying they have her in really drapey stuff, which is very strange because she’s historically always been in snug outfits.

Dylan’s not going to be leaving, so we’ll see how Ivy handles that and if she’s making more threats and maybe Will or Electra overhears. I’m also expecting sparks to fly with RJ.

Dylan Actress Shuts Down Rumors & a February Sweeps Wedding and Bachelorette Party Surprise on Bold and the Beautiful

Melissa Dylan said that Will, Electra, Dylan, and RJ are going to be a foursome with some drama. I also want to know when everybody’s going to stop calling her Miss Dylan. That’s her last name. By not giving her first name from the start, they’ve created this really weird situation.

The actress also said she’s not Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) 2.0. She’s not a lunatic or Luna in a mask with plastic surgery, despite a bunch of fan theories and some really sketchy stuff from some dodgy websites.

Steffy surprises Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) with a bachelorette party and we’re going to be getting a February sweeps wedding for Daphne and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). And then it’s on to baby making time.

Young and the Restless spoilers for February 9th- 13th expect Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) raging at his family and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) cheering.

As we always do on Early Edition Day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we’ll dive into next week.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jack Spars with Billy

On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) leaving Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) a message saying he loves her. He knows she’s upset and thinks that he bailed on her. Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) overhears and joins them. And Billy tells him that Jill Abbott’s (Jess Walton) condition is worse. Billy is scared he’s going to lose his mom, but he says that Snapper is optimistic.

Y&R Spoilers: Abbott Faces a Crisis with Jill Abbott’s Health and Chancellor Business

Jack thinks Billy taking Chancellor is a huge mistake, but of course, he disagrees with Jack. Billy says Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) getting her hands on Chancellor would be much worse. Jack, meanwhile, thinks Billy should go and be with Jill, but he says that she asked him to stay put in Genoa City.

Jack wants to know if Billy is putting Chancellor before Jill, which is interesting because Sally thinks that Billy is putting Chancellor before her and Jill both. Billy gets mad and he storms out on Jack. Elsewhere, Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) tells Michael Baldwin (Christian Jules Leblanc) that Jill can’t handle any stress and she’s doing very poorly.

Diane joins them and, of course, she’s quite thrilled that Victor was slapped by karma. Michael, however, unexpectedly feels bad for Victor. He feels bad for Victor, but he also warned him about using the AI. And now it’s come back to bite him.

Diane Jenkins Cheers as Victor Newman Faces AI Consequences on Y&R

Lauren thinks Diane is right to cheer this and that Victor had it coming. Lauren doesn’t want Michael getting close to Victor again, but Michael defends Victor and says he feels really bad for what he’s going through. Later, Billy and Lauren spend some time talking about Jill and her health.

Diane and Jack discuss trying to get Jabot back online after the shutdown. They also argue about Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Michael. Diane still thinks Jack doesn’t see Nikki clearly. Diane hates how close he is to Nikki. And she says she hates it almost as much as Victor does. Diane’s also annoyed that Jack never gives Michael the benefit of the doubt but always gives it to Nikki.

Victor’s portrait from Newman Tower is dropped off at the new ranch just as Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) shows up. She tells Victor she doesn’t like his revenge plan that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) told her about using Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Victor is mad that Chelsea told Nikki about it as well.

Victor Newman Issues a Dark Ultimatum for Newman Enterprises on Young and the Restless

They want to know exactly what Victor has done with Lily and her kids. Nikki keeps trying to reach Lily and can’t get through. Adam joins the conversation, but Victor at this point is so unhinged. He won’t explain anything and calls his family backstabbers before he storms out.

Nikki is hoping that Victor would be able to talk Lily into working with them, but Adam doesn’t think that will happen because of how Victor went after Lily during the whole takeover at Chancellor.

Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis swan into the Newman CEO office. They’re happy to see “The Mustache’s” painting is gone. Phyllis talks about renaming it Ashby-Summers, but Cane shuts that down and says the name Newman Enterprises is important and carries weight.

And Phyllis keeps griping, but Victor comes in and asks to speak to Cane alone. Phyllis steps out and then Victor tells Cane he had better give him back Newman Enterprises or he will never see Lily and the twins again. Victor is going to tell him he has them, which is kind of ironic because Lily and the twins have both told Cane already they don’t want to see him again.

The Search for Mariah Copeland and Baby Dominic Chancellor Intensifies on Y&R

On Thursday, February 5th, we are going to have Cane getting support from Phyllis. Cane is obviously going to tell Phyllis that Victor snatched Lily and the kids, but I doubt Phyllis will believe that they’re in any danger. Victor would make way too many enemies if he hurt them—Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Jill, and Nikki would all come for him.

Victor tries to convince his family to trust in his plan and to trust him with this big move he’s making against Cane. Also this week, Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) is going to get together with Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), Abby, and Devon over at the Chancellor Mansion to talk about Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) and Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes).

Abby and Devon are hoping Burrow can find them. By the way, if he’s not already signed on, he is going to be with the GCPD soon as a detective. On Friday, February 6th, we’ve got Victor really putting the screws to Cane. Phyllis probably thinks Victor’s bluffing, but Cane may not want to risk it. Whether Lily is playing along or not, I’m sure Cane isn’t going to be able to reach her and he may panic.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jabot Returns Online While Kyle Abbott Plays with Fire

Will Cane really give in and give everything back they took? I don’t think Phyllis is going to let that happen. Meanwhile, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Jack make a new power move. They’re taking Jabot back online. Will they also make a move against Victor and kick him while he’s down? I think Diane would be all for that.

Plus, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) goes to Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) for help with a new assignment. I wonder if Cane has tasked Holden to try and get a lead on where Lily may be. There’s a chance Claire may betray Victor because she’s pretty mad about all the things he’s done on Young and the Restless.

Claire might barter that info for the information she wants on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). Meanwhile, Mariah continues on the run this week with Dominic and imaginary Ian Ward (Ray Wise) riding shotgun.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: February Sweeps and Valentine’s Day Surprises

The following week, February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps and we’ve got Mariah’s scary downward spiral picking up the pace. She and Dominic are going to stay on the run, but their pursuers are coming for them. It looks like she’s heading south, maybe back to Florida.

Burrow, Devon, and Abby are going to hop on a private jet to try and stop Mariah from carrying out her plan. We’ll see if Sharon, Tessa, and others go along. Meanwhile, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) is there for Tessa as she worries about Mariah’s increasingly scary behavior.

This may push Tessa to go ahead and get a quickie divorce from Mariah so she can get sole custody of Aria Porter Copeland now that her estranged wife is out kidnapping kids. Sharon, meanwhile, is consumed with guilt over Mariah and is blaming herself for what has happened.

Valentine’s Day Romance on Y&R

In other news, Adam has a very nice Valentine’s Day surprise for Chelsea. Claire keeps going after Audra. And I wonder if Sienna’s remark about a guy going missing is enough to send Claire down the path to find out that Holden and Audra accidentally killed that guy.

Kyle and Audra are playing cat-and-mouse games again. Claire just asked Kyle out to dinner. And he would be an absolute idiot to put that at risk by playing games with Audra, but I don’t think he can help himself. He was playing with fire before, and he may get burned again.

Cane gives Victor an answer to his ultimatum about the Lily threat. And Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) struggle is going to worsen. Plus, Billy goes to extremes to prove his love and commitment to Sally. He is trying to convince her that running Chancellor doesn’t mean he’s choosing it over her.

Finally, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is going all out to impress Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) to convince her they should stay together, but I don’t think Noah’s going to win this one. Look for more from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) by the way. I think he went out too fast and low-key for February sweeps. We’ve still not seen him in handcuffs getting Mirandized.

Whew, Roommates! The internet has some thoughts about how Druski chose to kick off Black History Month.

Is Sky Bri Druski’s Lil’ Yeah, Yeah?

Folks online have their eyes on Druski, wondering if a new bae just entered the chat. The comedian popped out with OnlyFans model Sky Bri, and they looked a lil’ cozy. Videos caught them sitting next to Spike Lee at a New York Knicks game, then photos showed them posing together, giving very much date night vibes. As of now, neither Druski or Sky has spoken on their status, but social media swears a baewatch might be brewing. But still a few internet detectives think their lil’ pop out could also be a skit stunt, with some folks betting Druski’s about to drop a video any minute now.

After The Shade Room dropped the video and photos of Druski and Sky Bri, the comment section went OFF. Some folks said they think Druski was just trolling. Others gave him props, calling Bri a baddie and saying they actually think they make a good match.

From Rubi Rose To Sky Bri — The Tea On Druski’s Past Relationship

Before the internet had their eyes on Sky Bri, they were watching Rubi Rose heavy after her and Druski officially hard launched their relationship in April 2024. Videos and photos showed them on romantic yacht dates, tropical baecations, and even enjoying home cooked meals. But what fans thought would last didn’t — they called it quits in July 2024. Since then, they’ve been throwing lil’ jabs at each other online. Rubi ended up airing out their relationship on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2024, basically saying it was all a PR stunt, but Druski clapped back writing, “Never needed no PR” along with a laughing emoji.

As for where they stand now? Rubi made it clear she doesn’t want that old thang back. She told Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart during a stream with Druski in October 2025 that she didn’t miss him, but Dru think she only said that because she knew they were live.
