Young and the Restless: Sally’s Shocking Pregnancy Rocks Adam – Explosive Fallout

Young and the Restless presents Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) pregnant with Billy Abbott‘s (Jason Thompson) baby. And as this news spreads around, it’s going to shock a lot of people. Most notable on the list may be Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), who I think is going to be absolutely stunned by this baby bombshell.

We’re going to talk about those in Genoa City who are going to be affected either personally or just emotionally by Sally and Billy’s pregnancy news and we’re going to talk about how hard it will hit them and why. Let’s get right to it!

Sally’s Positive Pregnancy Test on Young and the Restless

So, recently Sally was having a day where she was feeling icky and so much so that she and Billy missed their flight to London to go see Jill. And Sally had an inkling that she might be pregnant.

So she had her bestie Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) bring over a pregnancy test and sure enough it was positive. And then later with Billy, Sally took another test, also positive. So she told Billy the big news and he said he’s all in on the baby, whatever she decides.

So, now that Sally’s told Billy about the baby and she knows how he feels, we’re going to talk about some other people that Sally needs to tell about this baby bombshell. And we could get a big reaction from some key people.

Sally Proceeds with the Pregnancy on Young and the Restless

First off, I’m sure that Sally is going to keep the baby so long as it’s healthy and the pregnancy is viable, all that good stuff. And since Billy told Sally to do whatever, you know, she wants, whatever she feels is right, I feel like the future is wide open for them. But I’m also certain that even with the risks, Sally’s going to proceed despite her fears after losing baby Ava.

Plus, Sally is also worried about Billy’s past heartache over losing Delia when she was so young. And Sally remains terrified of losing another child. But at the same time, she’s happy and excited. She’s still wrapping her head around the whole idea of this baby with Billy, even if she’s afraid to let herself be happy just yet. So, I think Sally’s going to get there soon and just be all on board, you know, let herself get excited.

Sally Will Want to Tell Adam on Y&R

So, I also think that she’s going to want to tell Adam Newman personally. I have no doubt that Sally would prefer that Adam hears the pregnancy news from her mouth rather than from Billy. Because let’s face it, he might be a big old jerk to Adam about it.

There’s a chance Billy could say something really awful to Adam like, “I’ll take better care of Sally than you did so our baby will survive.” I mean, Billy still blames Adam for Delia’s death, even though I personally think it was mostly Billy’s fault for sloppy parenting. So, I’m sure Sally will want to avoid any drama between Billy and Adam. Those two can be really nasty to each other.

So, I think that he would be stunned but happy for Sally. However, this might hit Adam right in the feels because, you know, he lost their baby, too. But if you remember, on the anniversary of Ava’s loss, Adam totally blew it off. So, there’s still hurt there. And that was around the same time he was cheating with Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan).

Young and the Restless: Sally Talks to Nick

So, I’m also assuming that Sally will want to talk to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) at some point. You know, Sally really used to love Nick and they were together when she was pregnant with baby Ava and Nick was, you know, still with her when she lost the baby.

So, I do think Sally also may want to tell Nick herself just out of courtesy and respect for their past. But Sally may have to wait to tell Nick her big news until he’s cleaned up from his whole drug addiction, cocaine, and fentanyl Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) nightmare.

How Others Will React on Y&R

I also expect Sally’s baby news is going to send shock waves all through town beyond her two ex-boyfriends reactions. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), I think, will be happy for Sally and Billy. And we know Jack’s got a soft spot for Sally.

Remember, she had that big crush on him when she first came to Genoa City. Hello, Daddy issues, right? But I think Jack may worry that Billy could flake out on Sally and let her down, let their child down. So, Jack might caution Billy that he needs to stand up and be the man that Sally and this baby need.

And then of course there’s Billy’s ex, Chelsea Lawson, to consider who is currently with Adam. And I tend to think when Chelsea hears about Sally’s pregnancy, Chelsea might have a strong reaction. She may worry about Sally’s pregnancy having an effect on Adam since he and Sally lost that child together.

And of course, Chelsea and Adam cheated and broke up their relationships with Sally and Billy. So, it’s also messy. I also would assume that Chelsea’s already going to be upset when she finds out Adam was sucking face with Riza Thomas (Tina Casciani) in Vegas so much. So, this may kind of ice the trouble cake for Chelsea and Adam’s relationship.

Young and the Restless: Sally’s Friends Will be over the Moon

Then, of course, there’s Audra and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman). And Audra already knows obviously, but Lauren is going to be thrilled for Sally. However, I expect Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is likely going to be catty when she finds out. Because she’ll be jealous that Billy’s having another kid with a woman that Phyllis feels threatened by, which is all women, basically. As for Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), I can see him telling Sally she’s breeding with a loser. We know how much he hates Billy Boy.

Sally May Tell Victoria on Y&R

Now, one last thing I can see somebody else that Sally will want to tell personally, maybe Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle). So Sally may want to tell Victoria herself before Billy gets to his ex-wife. And Sally may want to just privately ask Victoria how she feels about this before they tell the kids. Sally and Victoria talked a lot about Billy’s issues before on Young and the Restless.

If you remember, Sally opened up to Victoria about her father and Sally always being let down by him and cleaning up his messes. And I do think Victoria will be happy for Sally, but I think Victoria may be worried about Billy letting Sally down, which is a valid concern.

But Billy and Victoria’s kids, Johnny and Katie, I think they are going to be so happy about the baby. Because the kids really like Sally and I think they would be really excited to have a little brother or sister. That’s more fun than showing up with an adult sibling like Claire Newman (Hayley Erin), right?

Billy May Propose To Sally on Young and the Restless

So, all in all, I think most people will be happy for Billy and Sally, even Adam eventually once he sees how happy Sally is, hoping to see Billy behaving himself and being there for her. Because Sally is going to be scared and she needs a man to do right by her. And let’s hope Billy steps up.

Assuming everything goes well and Sally and Billy’s baby is born happy and healthy, I think this could be a really good thing. You know, we could see Sally and Billy making big changes. He’s got that nice house that Sally decorated already. So, I think she and Billy are going to stay there and Sally will design a gorgeous nursery for their baby.

Also, I could absolutely see Billy proposing to Sally at some point. You know, we could have Billy waiting until after the baby’s born. Because he doesn’t want to overwhelm Sally or, you know, make her think he’s proposing only because she’s pregnant.

And I’m sure the pregnancy and this big life change is going to give Billy a little push. But I do suspect marrying Sally might have already crossed Billy’s mind once or twice. So, we’ll see what’s next and how everybody reacts, most notably Adam, once the news spreads.
