Young and the Restless Early Spoilers April 6-10: Adam Faces Deadly Threat & Jack Loses Control!

Young and the Restless spoilers for April 06-10, 2026 reveal Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is in danger and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is increasingly frustrated.

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

Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, April 1st: Adam Plays Poker as Spyder

So, on Wednesday, April 1st, we’ve got Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) twitching like a junkie while Adam mentally prepares to be Spyder at Riza Thompson’s (Tina Casciani) big game. Adam is showing Nick his card shark skills where he can read body language and tells. And Adam knows something is off with Nick and offers his help, but he says that it’s just hard to wait to find Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).

The drug dealer shows up after Adam leaves for the game and Nick orders enough drugs for a party of six or seven people, but we know it is all for just Nick. The drug dealer hands over what he asked for, plus a bonus baggie with a different drug in it. Nick also asks if the guy knows Mitch Bacall, but either the drug dealer doesn’t know or he is playing dumb.

Also, Matt Clark is back on screen on Wednesday. He’s with Riza in her room in the casino and they’re making out. And Matt wants to hang around for the big poker game, but Riza says no. Matt then asked if he can play in the poker game and she refuses that as well. And he asked Riza about Spyder. So, Matt clearly doesn’t know that that is Adam’s secret identity. And then Matt insists he wants to meet Spyder, Riza’s partner.

Y&R Spoilers: Riza Kisses Adam

Matt gets antsy and bails and Riza is happy when Adam shows up and of course he wins big at the game for her. After the other players leave, Riza kisses Adam and tells him to slow down when he’s trying to get deeper into her business.

Riza tells him that she had to take on another partner after Spyder left, but she does want him to meet the guy, but doesn’t use Matt’s name. Also, you know, he’s asking to meet Spyder. So, there’s a big thing coming where I think Adam suspects this, but Matt is going to be blindsided.

Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) updates Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) on a call that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) can’t have visitors or Zoom chats yet. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) shows up asking why Sharon’s upset. She nags Phyllis about the Newman takeover, brings up Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), but of course, Phyllis doesn’t want to hear it.

She says Victor Newman‘s (Eric Braeden) done all this bad stuff, so why is Sharon judging her? But she warns Phyllis that Victor won’t stop until he gets everything back. Phyllis is in her I can do it alone, I deserve this, I’m fabulous phase, and Sharon wonders if this is about what Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) did to them.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis Hurt by Sharon

Phyllis is actually annoyed that on the anniversary of their shared Martin trauma, Sharon didn’t reach out to her. Phyllis says Sharon has another maniac after her, Matt Clark. And Phyllis says her kids are hating on her again, so neither of them have come out of the whole thing unscathed.

Sharon says at least they’re free. And Martin is in a prison cell all alone. But Phyllis makes it clear she won’t back down and that the Newmans have each other and a mountain of money, so they’re fine. And Phyllis says she’s okay doing this alone.

Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) catch up at Crimson Lights. Mariah has gone to the psychiatric hospital and Daniel’s ranting about Phyllis and how Summer cut her out. Daniel says he’s also done with his mom. And Tessa’s frustrated that Mariah wouldn’t let her support her and go along to the psych hospital just to be close by.

Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) then shows up and sees Daniel and Tessa playing guitar together. And Danny wants them to cut an album and he even offers to produce it. And then he invites Tessa and Daniel to Spain to perform in a club. Tessa jumps at the offer. Daniel’s not sure about performing, but agrees to go to Barcelona. And Tessa and Daniel both agree they’re in the friend zone now.

Y&R Thursday, April 2nd: Nick Targeted by Matt

Then on Thursday, April 2nd, Nick is targeted by Matt, who I’m sure sent the dealer to sell to Nick and specifically to give him that bonus baggie, which I suspect contains something really, really scary that could push Nick off the edge.

Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) gets blasted by Phyllis for conspiring with Victor, for faking her and the twins’ kidnapping, and for hurting Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) so badly. Meanwhile, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) continues to defend Victor. I don’t think Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) is going to like this.

If you remember, Victor is the sole and only reason that Nate and Victoria split before. So, to be fair, Nate saw Victoria when she was being a megalomaniac who was so power-hungry she was screwing over her own family. And Nate still stuck around. But Victor is a big issue for him. Even though Victor and Nate have kind of said bygones about things, I think this is going to bring up a lot for Nate.

Young and the Restless Spoilers Friday, April 3rd: Diane and Kyle Confront Victoria

Then on Friday, April 3rd, we’re going to wrap up the week on Young and the Restless with Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) confronting Victoria. And if she repeats what she told Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) that it’s Jack’s own fault for what Victor did to him, I think they are going to go off on Victoria.

And of course, Kyle’s very angry with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) about this as well. The Victor backlash is tearing relationships apart all over Genoa City. Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) walks up on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), reflecting and talking about their past.

So, Sienna may question Noah, and I wonder if he’s going to bring up Audra’s miscarriage, and it may prompt a talk about babies since Sienna is a little too old to have any biological kids with Noah. Plus, on Friday, Victor makes good on a threat, likely against Cane.

But there’s a chance it’s against Jack or Phyllis, especially Jack since we know Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) remains in town and she is another partner in crime of Victor’s. Plus, Nikki talks Jack into something on Friday.

Y&R Spoilers Week of April 6th-10th Spoilers

Then, the week of April 6th through the 10th, we’ve got more on trouble in Vegas. Roger Howarth said in a recent interview that Matt’s been busy while the actor was offscreen. He’s plotting and up to no good. And Roger Howarth said Matt is still destructive as he ever was. He also mentioned being in scenes with new people. One of course is Riza, who we see this week and next week.

I expect to see Matt in scenes with Adam. Of course, Riza knows who Spyder is, knows he’s a Newman, but Matt has no idea that Riza was partnering up with Adam Newman. So, that’s going to be a really interesting conversation with Riza and Matt when it comes out. And Nick obviously is already on his radar and in trouble, but Adam is increasingly in danger as well.

Nate does not like this side of Victoria. Looks like she’s doubling down on defending Victor and Nate may take a step back because Nate laid into Lily about conspiring with Victor. I just doubt he’s going to appreciate Victoria continuing to enable her dad’s awfulness.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Crazy Patty Wreaks Havoc

Expect more chaos from Crazy Patty as she continues to cause problems for Jack and Diane. Lily drowns in regret. And despite Cane vowing that he’s done with Lily forever, soon Cane is going to make an effort and prove himself to Lily. Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) is determined to get Claire away from Kyle.

And Victor’s antics may actually help Holden’s cause because Claire is sticking with team Victor and Kyle has taken a step back with her. He’s not happy. Phyllis and Cane may reconnect over the Victor hate and her laying into Lily about him.

And also look for a couple of weeks when Victor’s not around because actor Eric Braeden was out sick for a couple of weeks. He’s all better now. Noah reassures Sienna not to worry about Audra, but Sienna is more focused on shutting down Matt before he hurts the Newmans. And Sienna may engage in some self-sacrifice.

Nick, Nikki and Jack strategize on how to fix their fractured marriages. Victor still off-put about Nikki defending Jack. Don’t forget Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) is back in April. And after Billy Abbott‘s (Jason Thompson) back from London, he and Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) are going to make some significant plans.
