Young and the Restless spoilers for July 06-10, 2026 tease as Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is making a tricky move to outbox crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). Plus, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is ticked at Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) running his mouth and Jill Abbott (Lauren Koslow) is going to make her exit out of Genoa City.
And as we always do on Early Edition Day, we’ll talk about the rest of this week and then discuss what is coming the week of July 6th through the 10th.
Young and the Restless: Schemes and Deceptions – July 1st Through 3rd
So, on Wednesday, July 1st, we’ve got Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) talking more with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) about hiring Billy. And of course, Lily thinks it’s a bad idea, but Cane thinks he can handle Billy and that he will be an asset to Chancellor. And Cane does admit he’s feeling a bit guilty. But Lily says Billy might destroy himself with this opportunity. But Cane is hoping to fix his family. So Lily finally says, “Okay, do it.”
Sally, meanwhile, worries Jill will shut down her company. And that’s because Billy told Jill he knows she funded Sally when he said he would keep that secret. Billy says that Cane is CEO of Chancellor and he’s ticked about that and Jill’s approval of Cane and the role. And Billy’s wallowing in his mommy issues until Cane calls and says, “Bring Sally and come meet us.”
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane Stuns Billy
So, Billy and Sally join Cane and Lily. They offer congratulations on Sally’s baby and their engagement. And Billy is stunned when Cane asks him to head up R&D at Chancellor. Billy asks what Sally thinks and she wants him to take his time before deciding. Then they leave. Lily likes this new version of Cane and they do some smooching.
Meanwhile, Jack tells Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) that he got onto Laurence Markham’s (Jere Burns) property, but the guy’s got guard dogs that chased him off. Jack is sure that Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is in the house, and Kyle thinks Patty warned Markham, and that’s why he called on him and was there.
Jack has the private eye staking out Markham’s, but says they don’t have enough to bring in the cops yet. So Jack wonders why Dr. Markham is helping Patty. And then Jack comes up with a new angle to try. He goes home and finds a note from Patty asking him to meet her in the hot tub.
And Jack gets into Patty’s phone and texts Markham to meet her ASAP, saying it’s an emergency. He then alerts Kyle, who heads over to Markham’s. So, it looks like Jack is going to distract Patty while Markham is lured away so Kyle can get in there.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Diane’s Plan in Motion
We have Diane fussing about the barking dogs, and Markham says they’re very loyal. He likes the outfit he picked out for Diane, and there’s some flirting going on. Markham says he got her the sedatives she wanted and says he’ll give her one each night at bedtime. Diane plans to cook them dinner and asks him to get wine.
Markham goes to grab a bottle from the cellar and Diane rifles his pockets, finds the bottle, and takes some of the sleeping pills. She flirts with Markham, tells him she appreciates him and wants to make him a nice dinner to thank him. He seems totally smitten with Diane.
And then Markham gets the text from Jack from Patty’s phone, says he’s got a patient emergency, and then he hustles out. Diane promises to hold dinner for him. And when Markham’s gone, she crushes the pills and drugs his food.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Thursday, July 2nd
Nate opens up to Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) about the past. I’m wondering if Nate’s going to explain why he is not a surgeon anymore. This story is not pretty. Do you guys remember Nate was sleeping with Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) when she was with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James)?
And then when he found out, he pummeled Nate, who wound up severing a hand tendon, and that caused the nerve damage that makes Nate’s hands too shaky to perform surgery anymore. And I’m curious to see if Nate’s going to tell Stephanie that Devon’s the one who caused his injury and why Nate got his butt kicked to start with. I think Devon went too hard, but obviously Nate wasn’t innocent.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Noah & Nick Don’t Trust Matt
Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is trying to convince Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) of something, but they just don’t believe him. Don’t blame them. This may be more of Matt trying to sell his redeemed guy. I do wonder if Roger Howarth is going to be ousted when the new writer comes to Y&R because so many fans hate the rapist redemption storyline. I’d honestly be fine if they just killed off Matt and wrote a new character for Roger Howarth. They did that on General Hospital when his rapist redemption storyline on the ABC soap got continual push back and criticism from fans over there.
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has a plan that he will not reveal and I suspect it’s about making things right with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). I’m expecting a grand gesture from Victor. Maybe the house being set up to accommodate a vision-impaired Nikki because I’d be stunned in July Sweeps if her eyesight starts working right away.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Friday, July 3rd
Kyle makes a move to rescue Diane from Markham’s house, but things go in an unexpected way. So, Jack sent that fake text from Patty’s phone to Markham to lure him out. That way, Kyle can get in, but the dogs are free range on the property. I think they’re Dobermans. So, I hope Kyle does not get eaten.
Meanwhile, Jack plays a dangerous game with Patty, so Jack’s got to keep her distracted and away from her phone while Kyle does his thing. So, Jack may have to get in the hot tub with his psycho house guest. I would love it if Kyle saves Diane, but that seems awfully fast for any Josh Griffith plot.
Can I just say again how excited I am that he’s about to be gone. So, I hope CBS Daytime is going through a whole pile of resumes right now to replace him for Young and the Restless. But it looks like we’ve got about three more months of his nonsense though before a new writer is in place. They are aiming for the start of Season 54, which kicks off in October.
Young and the Restless: Romance and Relapse Risks – July 6th Through 10th
The week of July 6th through the 10th, official Y&R spoilers have Lily letting her guard down with Cane. And I expect Lily takes things to the bedroom with Cane. And I think we’re going to see Lily and Cane enjoying some sexy time in July Sweeps. Him being all nice to Billy with that guilt-motivated job offer impressed her. Even though Lily knows she’ll probably have to end up firing Billy.
Sally wants Billy to take time considering Cane’s job offer, but come on, there’s no way that Billy will turn down the chance to be a Chancellor executive. However, as Lily said, this could lead Billy down another path of self-destruction.
We still have a few more Jill episodes left before the short recast run is done. I think maybe three more episodes, so she should be done by the end of the week of July 6th.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: The Newmans Wait Anxiously
The Newmans wait to see if Nikki’s got her eyesight back when the bandages come off, but it wouldn’t be very soapy if she did. I expect more of a gradual recovery. Meanwhile, Victor has his work cut out for him as he and Nikki continue to be tested.
Nick’s struggles may soon get the better of him. Official Y&R spoilers point to a relapse, and it might come after he walks in on Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Matt in a compromising position soon. I’m interested to see Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) reaction to Phyllis dating the man who assaulted her once and tried to do it another time.
Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) continues to support Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) through Nikki’s health crisis, and they get more serious. Meanwhile, Stephanie continues to prompt Nate to consider a return to medicine in some capacity, you know, even if it is not into surgery.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jill Catches Up with Loved Ones
Cane is excited to spend more time with Jill. She and Lily need to catch up, too. And Cane will welcome Billy with open arms at Chancellor. Plus, Sally also gets some facetime with her future mother-in-law, Jill, who’s also the primary and sole investor in her business. They’re going to talk baby and wedding plans and more about Spectra Designs and how it’s doing.
Patty’s going to come totally unglued when she finds out what Jack and Kyle have cooked up behind her back. Diane is increasingly desperate to get away from Markham. Hopefully, she’s free soon. And July spoilers say that Patty is far from done wreaking havoc on Diane and Jack’s marriage.
