Young and the Restless Next Week: Victor Grows Suspicious & Mariah Makes Explosive Return

Young and the Restless spoilers for next week get intense as Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is being really skeptical about something that he hears and then very mad about something else that happens. Meanwhile, Camryn Grimes is finally back as Mariah Copeland. Long overdue. We have got the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of July 27th through the 31st.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane Spars with Devon

We also have juicy stuff for Daniel Romalotti, (Michael Graziedi), Abby Newman, (Melissa Ordway), Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn), and more on the Abbotts chasing Dr. Markham (Jere Burns). First though, let’s talk about Cane. At the end of this week, he’s up at the Chancellor Park Cafe when Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) walks up and starts something.

Aside from Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Abby, every time Devon talks to anybody, he’s pretty much angry and awful. I think he needs a literal chill pill. So, he’s going off on Cane about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) hiring Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) at Chancellor.

He’s salty because bottom line, Devon wants Chancellor for himself and thinks that it being in Cane’s hands is dishonoring Katherine Chancellor‘s (Jeanne Cooper) memory and legacy. Devon says that Cane is going to ruin Chancellor. And Cane warns Devon if he keeps up like this, he’s going to ruin his relationship with his sister Lily.

But Devon doubles down, calls Cane a con artist. He insults Billy, insults Holden, and says they should just give him Chancellor so he can roll it up into Winters. And Cane warns Devon that his anger is pushing people away.

So, Cane pushes his buttons more and asks Devon about Abby and Dominic and how they’re dealing with Devon’s attitude problems. That makes him angrier at Cane. And then Devon winds up storming off in a huff.

Pretty much his default state these days. And then Billy enters in a huff and is griping first about Devon and then about Cane. So this is about some secret that Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) is keeping and it’s something to do with Chancellor.

Y&R Spoilers: Chancellor Secrets and New Romances

And Billy wants to know what it is and he tells Cane he’ll take the job offer. But Billy’s paranoia over Jill has Cane worried. He doesn’t want Billy coming into Chancellor with some kind of agenda. Cane doesn’t want Billy digging around because he doesn’t trust Jill. And basically Cane’s seeing red flags in Billy that everybody warned him about, but I’m sure he’s still going to hire Billy.

So, next week on Young and the Restless, we’re going to see Cane over at Lily’s penthouse and things are much less stressful there. Cane is all smiles and it reminds Lily that she made him CEO of Chancellor. Now she’s invited him over to her place and Cane says if he didn’t know any better, he would think that Lily was starting to like him.

Well, I think she is. And with Cane being at her house, you know, this might be when Lily makes a move to get what she wants. And we know that’s Cane in her bed. They’ve been building up to this on kind of a slow burn. So, we’ll see if Lily goes for it next week and grabs her man.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Nikki Needs Help

Also, next week, we’ll get more on Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott)’s health issues as she continues to count steps around the house. I expect that Victor may press her soon. Hopefully, he’ll get her to use some accessibility tools because her vision’s not coming back. Not for a while. She needs a white cane mobility tool for starters. Maybe a seeing eye dog, although I’m sure Y&R doesn’t have the budget for that.

And speaking of The Mustache, we’ll find out next week if Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) convinced Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) to talk to Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) about the role that Victor played in the attacks on Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters). And on that subject, we’re going to see Kyle and the Abbotts desperately, desperately searching.

They really need to find Dr. Markham’s summer home that Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) mentioned. They think that he’s hiding there. And Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) is gearing up to go visit Martin face to face in prison since he offered information on how to find Dr. Markham if Traci would just come to see him.

Y&R Spoilers: Big Plans and Troubling Romances

So, next week on Y&R, spoilers say that Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) present their big win to Victor because Adam’s going to tell his dad that he was ruthless with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and ripped Newman Media out of her hands. I’m betting Victor is going to be real skeptical on Adam and Chelsea’s sudden change of heart.

Now, let’s talk about Phyllis and then we’ll talk about her son, Daniel. So this week, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) was making out with Matt Clark (Roger Howorth), and Phyllis was ready to sleep with him, and it was Matt who tapped the brakes. It’s kind of bizarre that the sexual assaulter told Phyllis he didn’t want to take advantage. And I guess that’s how the writers are signaling us that he is truly reformed.

So, I did a little poll right here on the channel to ask you guys if you’re down with this pairing of Phyllis and Matt given his awful past. Fifty-two percent of responders said they hate Phyllis with Matt. Twenty-five percent said they love it and want more. And another twenty-three percent said they are waiting to decide.

Young and the Restless Fans Hate the Matt Clark Storyline

So bottom line, I’ve got to keep covering Phyllis and Matt because it’s on Young and the Restless. It’s a front burner storyline, but I agree with the fifty-two percent of people that it bothers. It feels very rape-enabling to me. Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) by the way, is also really bothered. Meanwhile, they have Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) acting like it’s no big deal.

Nick even told Phyllis to just take Matt and leave town. She said no. But Phyllis also doesn’t want Matt leaving Genoa City. Period. But Phyllis wants Matt free of Victor’s control and influence. So, that’s important because in next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers, we’ve got Phyllis taking a big step forward because she is going to disable Matt’s ankle monitor and take it right off his leg. And I’m certain that Victor will be alerted to its removal.

But the question is, will he press charges on Matt? Can Victor even make that happen after having them all dropped? I guess we’ll find out next week. Phyllis gets the monitor off and she tells Matt, “You’re free as a bird.” Now, even without the monitor, I doubt he’s going anywhere. He’s found a rich woman who wants him for some reason. So, why not stick around?

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Daniel Pops Back Up

Also, next week, more Y&R spoilers have Abby upset, and Daniel Ramlotti shows up to say that it looks like Abby could use a friend, and he asks if she will settle for him. They have to be looking for a plot to push Daniel into because he’s got no job, no girlfriend, nothing going on. And I honestly hope they didn’t bring him back and put him in Abby’s path so that he can interfere in another marriage like he did with Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Mariah’s marriage.

And speaking of that, two comings and goings alerts. First is that Camryn Grimes is back on screen next week at the end of the week as Mariah Copeland. So maybe Mariah’s return will help address Devon’s simmering rage issues. Maybe Mariah can help him work through them. No word yet on whether Tessa and Aria are coming back with her.

And also next week, we’ve got Trisha Cast back as Nina Webster. And I assume it’s because it is the one-year anniversary of Chance Chancellor‘s (Conner Floyd) murder. Meanwhile, Connor Floyd is doing an awesome job over on Days of Our Lives where he took over the role that Billy Flynn left when he came to Y&R to play Cane. It is very soap opera full circle.
