Next week, on The Young and the Restless, get ready for some of the action to move from Genoa City to Los Angeles, where drama will hit hard and quickly. Plus, new mysterious characters will be introduced. Back home, look for relationships to evolve.

Next Week on The Young and the Restless

West Coast Drama

Nick (Joshua Morrow) is conflicted. He knows his family in GC needs him to stick around to see this Newman versus Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) business through, but he wants to head to LA to see his son. Next week, Victor (Eric Braeden) won’t make it easy on him when he gives Nick an ultimatum. This is an ultimatum Victor will ultimately lose when Sharon (Sharon Case) makes a distress call.

In the video preview for next week’s episodes, a terrified Sharon calls Nick and tells him that Noah (Lucas Adams) has been in a car accident. That’s on Monday. Later, Nick and Sharon will receive shocking news. And before the end of the week, the exes will meet a mysterious stranger. Does this person look like Tamara Braun (Sienna) or Roger Howarth?

LA Detours and Obstacles

Claire (Hayley Erin) exited Genoa City quickly after her breakup with Kyle (Michael Mealor), and now she’s in LA trying to find herself. Unfortunately for her, Claire’s plan to escape reality hits a detour. Is this because Kyle has already followed her to the West Coast? He keeps thinking he’s protecting her, but what she needs is space from him. When will he realize that? If Kyle doesn’t cause the detour, what does?

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether Audra (Zuleyka Silver) will be in Los Angeles next week, but she will probably end up out there, right? Whether she is in Genoa City or LA, a down-and-out Audra will receive a painful reminder about her past.

Something tells us that we won’t find out more about her family, but we will discover more about what she and Holden (Nathan Owens) were up to when they both lived in LA. What illegal thing did Audra do, and is she about to face some consequences for what she did?

Odds & Ends

In Genoa City, Nate (Sean Dominic) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) have continually turned to each other while grieving. Victoria is mourning Cole (J. Eddie Peck), while Nate isn’t just experiencing grief for losing his half-brother, Damian (Jermaine Rivers), but he has also lost his relationship with Audra. Next week, look for Nate to, once again, comfort Victoria.

The relationship between Jack (Peter Bergman) and Billy (Jason Thompson) is always turbulent. But the Jabot CEO can never ever completely turn his back on his brother. That’s why it’s unsurprising to learn that Jack is about to clear the air with Billy…again.

Finally, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) does make the trek to Boston, where she visits Mariah (Camryn Grimes). This time, she knows a little more about what went down with her wife on her Cassidy First work trip. So how will their visit fare? Will they be able to repair their bond, or will they grow further apart?
