Young and the Restless hot spoilers for next week include the reveal of where Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) is and has been because it looks like she was definitely kidnapped. Plus, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is brutally injured while out of town. She’s literally squashed during a tornado.
There’s a lot to unpack in these brand new spoilers for the week of June 15th, including a big return of a fan favorite. A new character is on the scene that is tied to Diane. And there’s two medical crises affecting two different Newman ladies. So, let’s get right into it.
Y&R: Mariah’s Return and Jill Abbott Recast
So, as we wind up this week on Young and the Restless, we have a very excited Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) talking to Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). She’s on a call from the psych hospital. And it looks like her recovery is going well. And if you remember, the last person who visited Mariah was actually a very angry Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James). But now, Sharon is telling Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) that Mariah could be released and could actually be back to Genoa City next week. So, yay on that return. and we will let you know when we have an air date for Cameron Grimes first appearance back on the scene as Mariah.
But that’s just one return. The other is a recast. We’ll talk about it in a second. So, right now, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) handed Chancellor over to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) as promised as payment for her and the twins faked kidnapping. When she told Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) that she has Chancellor, well, he was excited. And of course, Billy immediately wanted to buy it from Lily. But she refused. And then when she said she appointed Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) to run it, that’s when Billy lost it. He is furious that Lily is trusting Cane more than she trusts him.
Young and Restless Spoilers: Lauren Koslow Temporarily Takes Over
And this ties into the big return that’s also a recast. So, there’s a Young and the Restless spoiler saying that there’s a surprising turn of events and that results in Billy getting some powerful information and then Cane and Lily work together to stop Billy from going after something he wants.
And we know what he wants. Generally, it’s about Chancellor. So, that may be tied into the return, which is Jill Abbott, who is coming back to Genoa City soon. But actress Jess Walton was unavailable to film. So instead, they brought in Days of Our Lives actress Lauren Koslow. So she stepped into the role. She first appears on June 25th, which is the same day that July Sweeps kicks off. She’ll be on as Jill for just five episodes. And I’m real curious to see what she thinks about Lily and Cane running Chancellor and Lily and Cane smooching and reconciling.
Y&R: Lily and Cane Heat Up at Crimson Lights
And next week in official Y&R spoilers, we’re going to get more of Lily getting much much closer to Cane. Things are sizzling between them. So Cane’s with Lily at Crimson Lights and things get really flirty between them and Cane’s telling her that they’re going to do great things together. Then he asked Lily to come closer so he can tell her something and it looks like he is smooching her across the table at the coffee shop.
Young and Restless: Nikki’s Health Crisis and Diane’s Disappearance
All right. Now, let’s talk about one of the two medical crises for a Newman lady. And then we’ll get into missing Diane. So, after bickering with Victor Newman about him giving Chancellor to Lily, we’re going to see Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) getting another of her really bad headaches on Friday. And she’s not going to give Victor much info when he starts asking about her health.
And then next week, Young and the Restless spoilers say things get a lot worse when Nikki’s vision seems to be deteriorating. So, her vision’s going. Clearly, there’s something going on with the blood vessels in her brain, which lead to the blood vessels in your eyes. So, this may be tied to her MS. But it’s not the MS itself because actress Melody Thomas Scott said this is a new thing. She says she’s never played somebody with this medical issue. And it’s going to get scary very fast for Nikki.
She’s going to have to make some big decisions fast about her medical condition while continuing to hide things from Victor because it looks like Nikki doesn’t want Victor coming back to her just because she’s sick.
All right, now let’s talk about Diane in Genoa City Time. She is still missing and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) are worried sick. But over on Beyond the Gates on the crossover, Diane is at a fundraiser with Jack and Kyle. They are all together, all smiles, all happy as a family. This was very poorly coordinated between Young and the Restless and Beyond the Gates because things are out of alignment.
Y&R: Jack Confronts Patty About Diane
So, next week we’ve got big action with both Jack and Diane back in Genoa City. We’re going to see Jack who’s with his sister Tracy and they run into Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) at The Overlook Cafe. And when she sees Jack, we’ve got Patty saying that he looks really tired. Well, part of that’s because he just went through this whole tornado ordeal on another soap.
So, Jack’s annoyed and he snaps at Patty that his wife is missing. then she taunts Jack and asks if Diane is even still his wife. And then Jack loses it and he’s yelling at Patty, “Cut the crap.” And he demands to know where is she. So clearly Jack suspects that Patty had a hand in Diane going missing. And I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Patty is involved.
Young and Restless Spoilers: Diane’s Been MIA
So, if you think back, the last time we saw Diane on Y&R, it was May 14th. And that was when she left Jack that voicemail saying she’s still hurt and angry and confused. But Diane’s message to Jack said she wanted to find a way to move forward. Diane also said in the message, “I love you, Jack, and I know that you love me.”
But it kind of doesn’t look like Diane’s message made it to Jack, at least not that he’s mentioned. And it looks like we get a glimpse of Diane on Monday’s Young and the Restless. So, she’s at some type of cabin or small house and it looks like there are bars on the window and she seems really out of it. So, I’m going to bet that either Patty took Diane or maybe Victor, you know, was conspiring with Patty to finish wrecking Jack and Diane’s marriage and he asked her to kidnap Jack’s wife.
Y&R: A New Character and Diane’s Rescue
So, on Monday, we have a doctor involved. We’re going to see great actor Jere Burns as Dr. Lawrence Markham in scenes with Diane on Monday. So, this could be a shady doctor who is keeping her drugged for Patty or maybe Diane is saved on Monday and that’s a doctor over at Genoa City Memorial Hospital. We’ll just have to wait and see. But it looks like Jack is going to get Diane back very soon.
Now, to the other medical emergency for Newman. There’s a tornado on the Beyond the Gates crossover and Victor left the event right after the speech knowing a big storm was coming without offering anybody else a ride out of town. His daughter Abby is there with Devon and Jack and Kyle and Diane. And so on the Thursday episode of Beyond the Gates after the tornado hits the Fairmont Crest country club, there’s this giant crystal chandelier and it crashes down right on top of Abby and squishes her.
I saw an interview with Eric Braeden saying everybody survived, so I’m assuming the chandelier doesn’t kill Abby or he forgot that Victor has another daughter. You know, he doesn’t spend a lot of time with her. But it might put a real scare into her, you know, cuz crystal chandelier squishing is pretty high stress. So, I also wonder if Jack might help dig out Abby and then Victor winds up owing Jack for saving somebody else in his family. However, I doubt that would stop Victor from hating on him.
