Young and the Restless Next Week: Nick Collapses & Diane Terrifies the Whole Family!

Young and the Restless gives thrilling new spoilers for the week of May 25th. We are going to talk about Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) scaring her loved ones and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) collapsing in what looks like is another very scary fentanyl overdose.

We’ve got the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of May 25th through the 29th, including Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) in a crisis of her own. Plus, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is cornered and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is on the run again. So, let’s dive right in to what’s happening next week.

Nikki’s Crisis And Jack Offers To Sponsor Nick on Young and the Restless

So, first of all, let’s talk about what’s going on with Nikki. And at the end of this week, she met with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and he told her an amped up version of what Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) paid Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) to do to him. Jack leans heavily into the Victor drugged me details and that is kind of where he’s inflating things and that really stuns Nikki.

She suspected that Patty did the drugging and is horrified that Victor would do that given that he knows, you know, that she has addiction issues, but Jack insists that Victor crossed all lines of decency to ruin Jack’s marriage to Diane. And Nikki says Victor might as well have done that to her, and it’s a slap in her face. Nikki says she thought Victor chilled out, but now Nikki sees he hasn’t. And basically, I think Jack’s plotting to create more distance between them because he tells Nikki she should get some air, go visit Summer in Italy.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jack Steps Up for Nick

And Nikki says she’d love to, but it’s a bad time because she’s going to be Nick’s unofficial sponsor. And as I have been expecting, guess what happens? Jack offers to be Nick’s official sponsor as he goes through withdrawal and treatment. And Jack is a really good choice because he got addicted to pain pills under circumstances almost identical to how Nick did. If you remember, Jack had surgery and he was given painkillers and then he got hooked.

Same thing that happened with Nick. And so Nikki says that she’s going to have Nick contact Jack. She’s very happy about this. And we’re going to see Nikki by the end of the week having a warm moment with Jack before Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) shows up and Nikki takes off. And then Jack admits to Kyle that he embellished the kidnapping story a bit to make Victor look even worse.

So basically, Jack’s doubling down on making sure Nikki never ever goes back to Victor. But really, I think Jack told a pretty fair version that was close to the truth because what Victor did was awful. Bottom line is that Jack thinks it’s for the best if it gets Nikki to finally call it quits with Victor once and for all.

Diane Has Been Missing For Two Days on Y&R

So, next week we do have more stuff for Kyle and Jack that could be a really big deal for the family. Remember, a week ago, Diane was in her suite at the GCAC. She had this weird nightmare about Patty being with Jack. So, Diane left Jack a voicemail and her message says she’s hurt, but she still loves him. And Diane says she wants to move forward and plans to come to the mansion to see Jack. And since then, we haven’t seen him mention Diane’s voicemail, nor have we seen her over at the mansion. Weird, right?

That was the same day that Jack got Patty to confirm what Victor paid her to do. And Patty was irritated because Jack was insistent he wants to reconcile with Diane, but said she’s not talking to him. So, I just wonder if Patty’s gone and done something really bad because next week, Young and the Restless spoilers have Kyle telling Jack that his mom Diane has not been to work in 2 days. And Kyle says her bed hasn’t been slept in. So, that means that he went by Diane’s room at the GCAC to check on her and there’s no sign she’s been there. And Kyle says none of this is normal. He’s obviously worried.

Y&R Spoilers: Did Patty Snatch Diane?

So, I’m just worried if Patty decided to snatch Diane to make sure she can never reconcile with Jack. I wouldn’t put it past her because I don’t think crazy Patty has really changed her ways. So, next week, hopefully, Jack and Kyle can locate Diane and she’s fine. Maybe it’s a spa day or spa weekend. We’ll see.

Nikki May Be Facing A Health Crisis on Young and the Restless

Also, at the end of this week, Nikki runs into Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) at the GCAC, and Nikki is a little concerned to see Michael day-drinking, and he says that Victor is broken in ways he didn’t know was possible because he lost the empire. Nikki says, “Yeah, but Victor will hurt anybody and is putting the company before the family.”

And Michael also says, “Losing Nikki pushed Victor over the edge.” And every time Nikki defends Jack, it’s like a dagger into Victor’s heart. But after talking to Jack, you know, Nikki tells Michael there’s no going back for her and Victor. So, it does look like Jack’s plan worked.

But maybe all this stress going on in her life takes a toll on Nikki because next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers have Victoria over at her mom’s room at the GCAC and Nikki has this really, really bad headache that went away, but then it came back. So, Nikki might be facing some sort of a health crisis and that may be what finally reunites her and Victor. Something life or death.

Nick Collapses in Front of His Family on Y&R

And speaking of health crisis, it looks like Nikki’s son has one as well. We’ve all seen Nick denying he’s back on pills and popping them behind everybody’s back. He’s refusing rehab and the usual addict behavior of lying and denying.

He’s been running around trying to make these backdoor deals with Phyllis and trying to talk Christine Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) into stuff.

Meanwhile, he’s sweating up a storm and in next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers, Nick is there with Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), Victor, and Noah Newman. And he’s talking on the phone. You know, maybe Nick’s talking to Phyllis.

She’s of course freaking out because Patty stole Matt. And of course, Patty’s upset because Matt then ran away from her. But while he’s on the phone, Nick collapses and he just falls to the floor.

So, it looks like he may be overdosing again right in front of his family after telling everybody that he was getting clean. So, I’m guessing that Nikki is going to push for Jack to be Nick’s sponsor. But if Jack does that and helps Nick get clean, you know, Victor’s going to go ballistic.

I’ve been expecting for a while that Jack would step up for Nick and that it would infuriate Victor. And we all know he is still on fire about Jack saving Nikki from her latest alcohol addiction spiral.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Matt’s on the Run

Also, next week, we’ll see if Patty can catch up to Matt. And we’ll find out more about what happened because if you remember, Patty called Victor to rat out Matt and she told Victor that she got Matt away from Phyllis, but then he took off. So, now Matt is on the run.

And we’ll also see if Phyllis can open up her ear holes and actually listen to somebody because Lauren is telling her she has to give back Newman Enterprises or she is going to go to prison. We are also going to have more of Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) in New York. According to next week Y&R spoilers, they just made love again.

And I expect that Claire is going to demand that Holden follow through and tell her the big secret that he and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) are hiding. And we’ll also see if the Newmans wise up and they send Nick to rehab, even if it’s against his will. Honestly, it needs to be against his will.

They need to commit him so he can’t just turn around and check himself back out. So, next week on Young and the Restless looks really wild.
