Young and the Restless spoilers for April 7-11, 2025 see Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) facing temptation from another man and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) totally blindsided by her scary, kidnapping, torturing fiancée.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Lily Supports Victor
As the week ends on Young and the Restless, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) comes to tell Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) that they should believe Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) over Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers). Because for some reckless reason, Lily wants to trust Victor despite how dirty he did her in the Chancellor takeover.
I mean, Lily was lied to her face repeatedly by Victor and by Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), so I don’t understand her attitude. But while Lily is debating with Devon and Nate, Audra is going to take off to get out of their way. And she runs into the man they are talking about, Victor Newman.
Audra’s Temptation: Will She Seek Revenge on Kyle with Victor’s Help on Young and the Restless?
If you remember last year when he was lying to Lily’s face, he had also been pitting Audra against Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). That was after Victor got Audra to take Glissade from Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John). And then after she did all that leg work, Victor installed Kyle as her co-CEO to screw over Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And then he ultimately screwed over Audra and fired her after Kyle stole from his family for Victor.
I remind you of all this because it’s important for what is coming next week. Victor was fresh off of tormenting Kyle and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) when he ran into Audra on Friday at Crimson Lights. And the conversation that Victor starts with Audra continues and carries over next week onto Monday’s episode. Remember, after Victor did her dirty, Audra has not been able to find a job, so Victor’s asking her next week about whether she’s made any progress in her job hunt. And he asks Audra to sit down and talk to him about what’s going on with her.
Y&R Spoilers: Victor Persuades Audra
For some insane reason, Victor persuades Audra to have this chat with him, just like he persuaded Lily to believe him when she should know better. Then Victor asked Audra if she wants to get even with Kyle.
Audra seems to consider it and then asks if she wanted that, what’s she going to get for it. Because obviously Victor has a stake in this. Again, I just don’t understand Victor’s ability to gaslight women so easily because, yeah, Kyle did her dirty. But he did her dirty. Because Victor was encouraging him to target her. Audra is blaming the wrong guy. Kyle was not the mastermind.
Victor’s Shocking Plans for Nikki and Lily’s Secret Admirer: Young and the Restless Spoilers
Also, in Victor’s future gaslighting plans, he has got a big surprise in store for Nikki. It’s supposed to be huge. And it’s coming during April. But what can be bigger than Victor stealing Chancellor for Nikki? Maybe he’s going to steal Jabot for her, too. I can’t even tell at this point.
Back to Lily for a moment, so upcoming April Y&R spoilers say Lily has a secret admirer. And we have to wonder if it’s Dumas. Because Damian is admiring her. But it’s not secret, so it doesn’t seem like it’s him unless it’s a badly written spoiler.
If Dumas is the admirer who’s got an eye on Lily, that kind of dispels suspicions that Dumas might be Tucker, the man behind the mystery. Because he would not be going after his son’s adoptive sister. That would be just way too weird, so kind of an interesting twist. And Lily definitely deserves some admiration.
Ashley’s Return and Traci’s Dangerous Game: Unmasking the Kidnapper on Young and the Restless
Also next week, we have Eileen Davidson back to Young and the Restless at last. We knew she was filming new scenes as Ashley Abbott, and in the week of April 7th, she is back in town and having a deep and kind of scary conversation with Jack about their sister.
So, prior to Ashley’s return, Jack’s been very worried about Traci because of suspicions about her new fiancée, Alan. Maybe fake Alan, maybe Martin. After talking to Kyle and to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), she sees some red flags about Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Sharon’s kidnapping, so Traci has begun to suspect Alan was the kidnapper. And that led her to wonder if he wasn’t Alan but was Martin, the evil twin of kindly Alan.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Ashley Clueless?
But with Ashley still in the dark about any of it, big brother Jack asks Ashley next week if she thinks it’s possible that Martin survived the fall in Paris and it was Alan who really died.
Of course, Ashley is shocked by even the suggestion. So, for now, Jack and Traci want to keep things quiet. They don’t want anybody to know their suspicions about Alan because they don’t want to put a target on anybody’s back if it is true and he is Martin and is a demented torturing kidnapper.
Y&R Spoilers: Jack Turns to Ashley
Traci told Jack she needs to look her fiancée in the eye and see how she feels if she believes that he’s really Alan, the man she loves. And this is just all bizarre coincidences. However, it makes sense that Jack turns to Ashley next week and wants her opinion because she has known Alan for years. And they’ve been good friends. You know, Ashley and Alan got along for years. He had been in Genoa City, in her house. They weren’t romantically involved but longtime friends.
However, it’s important to remember also that Martin actually fooled Ashley when he pretended to be Alan in Paris. She spent a whole evening with Martin with no idea he wasn’t Alan, so Martin has clearly got some serious game when it comes to pretending to be his twin brother.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Traci’s Blindside – Is Fake Alan a Madman?
But the really big news for next week is that Traci is totally blindsided by her sinister fiancée, whether he’s Alan or Martin. This week, Traci asked Alan to come back to Genoa City as soon as possible.
But it seems like fake Alan makes it to town faster than she anticipated because next week, fake Alan returns from Paris and blindsides Traci in the hotel suite at the GCAC. Of course, fake Alan’s return is a subject of great stress for Traci because she doesn’t know if she’s engaged to a nice man or a madman. And she’s kind of scared to find out the truth.
Traci really needs to know if this is Alan or if it’s actually Martin. But the question is, can Traci find out the truth without putting her own life at risk? If he’s about to be exposed, there’s no telling what fake Alan might do.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Fake Alan the Kidnapper?
Clearly, if he is the kidnapper, he’s bat crap crazy. And that means he may not act rationally. A smart guy who’s sane but did a criminal thing may be scared of prison and not want to come back to Genoa City, the scene of his crimes, and may take off when he feels like he’s been caught.
But the fact that Traci’s fiancée came back to the scene of the crime is disturbing and means he may not care if he’s caught and may have some twisted endgame in mind. And that doesn’t bode well for Phyllis, Sharon, Traci, or Ashley on Young and the Restless.
