Hey Young and the Restless fans, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) is increasingly unhinged about the Vibrante versus Jabot rivalry. Plus Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is instigating and stirring the pot with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) in our early spoilers for the week that starts November 16th.
Check out what’s coming during the week of November 16th – 20th on the CBS soap, and as we always do on early edition day, we go over what is happening the rest of this week, then we get into what is coming next week.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki and Adam Fuel Rivalries as the New Writers Debut
Wednesday, November 11th on Young and the Restless. This is the first episode featuring the new head writer’s work, Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connors. This is their first episode. Devon Hamilton-Winters (Bryton James) calls an ambulance for Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) as her heart is racing.
Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) checks on Abby while they get tests run. She panics to Devon, thinking she has heart problems. Abby worries it might be some kind of drastic issue like Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) has. But no, all the tests are clear. Nate thinks Abby is just drinking too much coffee.
At Crimson Lights, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) are talking about being grateful to have moments like these because they thought they would never have them again. Mariah is still struggling to forgive herself. She is happy to have the second chance to be with her family.
Tessa wants Mariah to move back into their bedroom. But Mariah is scared she is going to hurt Tessa and Aria Porter Copeland again.
Y&R Spoilers: Diane and Nikki Battle Over the Jazz Lounge
Over at the GCAC, Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Nikki Newman are trash talking each other. They are pushing Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) to choose who he will rent the GCAC Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John)’s Jazz Lounge to. Both Nikki and Diane want it for Valentine’s Day. Nikki warns him not to go against the Newmans. Daniel says he will let them know his decision later.
He heads over to Crimson Lights to get away from Diane and Nikki, who continue insulting each other. Diane tells her that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) only gave Vibrante to Nikki to keep her occupied and away from him. Diane says Victor has no faith in Nikki.
Nikki accuses Diane of being jealous because Nikki has Victor. Diane says she was young and ignorant when she was with Victor and that was years ago. Nikki vows to rub her Vibrante victory in Diane’s face.
Tessa and Mariah Reconnect While Daniel Weighs Job Offers on Young and Restless
Back at the coffee shop, Tessa and Mariah promise to work together on their marriage, and they kiss. That is right when Daniel walks in, so it is a little awkward. Mariah goes to take a call. Daniel tells Tessa he is glad she is happy and that the weirdness is all behind them.
Daniel also tells Tessa he is working for Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). But Devon made an enticing offer for Daniel to work at the new university that Devon is opening in his dad Neil’s memory. Tessa says she is sure Daniel will make the right decision.
Meanwhile, Mariah tells Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) she is unbothered that Tessa and Daniel were together while Mariah was spiraling. She is actually glad Daniel was there for Tessa when she couldn’t be.
Then Daniel heads back over to the GCAC to give Diane and Nikki his verdict. Daniel tells Diane she can have the Jazz Lounge for her Jabot event on Valentine’s Day. Nikki loses it and tells Daniel he will regret this. Nikki storms out and goes home, vowing to destroy Diane.
Sharon Presses Nick About Matt and the Pills
At Crimson Lights, Sharon tells Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) she will always be there for him. This picks up from the Tuesday episode. They are talking about the bags of pills he took from drug dealer Joe (Chris Grant Wenchell). A very worried Sharon wants to know if Nick took any of the pills. He tells Sharon he didn’t even open one of the bags.
However, Nick admits he was tempted, so Sharon takes the pills and promises to turn them in to the cops. Nick admits that when he saw Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) at Sharon’s house, he was triggered and almost relapsed and used.
On the topic of Matt, Sharon asks Nick again what he did with Matt. Nick still will not tell her. Sharon says she has earned the right to know. Then Mariah interrupts, and Nick takes that chance to slink out of the coffee shop. Mariah wants to know if Nick has relapsed. Sharon says no, but he is keeping a big secret about Matt.
Sharon says that since Nick won’t come clean to her, she is going to go see a person he will talk to. She goes to the Newmans’, but Nikki nearly slams the door in Sharon’s face. Sharon tells Nikki she better make time for her. Clearly Sharon wants to see if Nikki knows what Nick did to Matt.
Chelsea Gets Sneaky Advice from Victor on Thursday on Y&R
Thursday, November 12th on Young and the Restless, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) gets some sneaky advice from Victor. He is offering Chelsea some tips from his playbook, which we know is full of devious deeds. Not only did Victor go to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) for help about Adam, but Victor seems to be trying to tap all his resources to rein in Adam.
So, Victor could be trying to get Chelsea to get creative and distract Adam from his fixation on baby Ruby Abbott before things escalate between him and Billy Boy. I am sure Chelsea will help, as long as it stops short of her getting pregnant.
Phyllis is also demanding answers from Nick about Matt’s fate, with both Sharon and Phyllis pressuring Nick. I am certain the answers about Matt won’t stay hidden long. Phyllis swears she is done with Matt, but of course she can’t let it go. Also, Adam has damaging information to share with Jack.
I suspect Adam shows Jack the photos he took of Billy meeting with that lawyer. Jack may be shocked, especially if he recognizes that it is the Jabot attorney who verified the Abbotts’ claim on Chancellor was legit and enforceable. Jack knows this is bad news.
Audra Seeks a Favor While Jack Tries to Save Billy on Young and the Restless
Friday, November 13th on Young and the Restless, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) asks a giant favor of an ex-boyfriend. It is likely Nate, because Audra has no other real exes in town and with Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) gone, Audra can get Nate alone to make her request.
Jack is determined to save Billy from himself, but that may be impossible. Billy is like a dog with a bone when it comes to Chancellor. Jill being at death’s door recently might have made Billy even more fixated. Watch the full video on YouTube.
Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) and Christine Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) get a surprise visit. It may be Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant), who is home to Genoa City for Thanksgiving. Also this week, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) are back in each other’s arms at Danger Zone.
Y&R Early Spoilers: Chelsea Tries to Distract Adam from Billy’s Baby
The week of November 16th – 20th, if you didn’t know, is the last full week of November sweeps. We will have a couple more episodes of sweeps the week after that. And we will find out what moves Chelsea makes to distract Adam from Billy’s baby, but I don’t know if Chelsea will succeed.
We will also see if Abby has another spell or if she really was just overcaffeinated. Recast Roxanne Barrington (Tetona Jackson) is back in town. She is now very successful and is going to cause problems for Devon and Abby’s marriage.
With Nick mentioning Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow) recently, we may see her very soon. We may also get an update on where Nick stashed Matt and how he is doing. If you have not heard, Roger Howarth has more scenes coming after he won a Daytime Emmy. Matt is sticking around.
Kyle and Victoria Risk Exposure While Diane and Nikki Escalate on Young and the Restless
Kyle and Victoria cannot quit each other. New spoilers point to them being exposed by the holidays and causing a big, big uproar in Genoa City.
Plus, Diane and Nikki’s war kicks into high gear after Diane got the Jazz Lounge on the date Nikki wanted it. Watch for Victor to try to tone down Nikki and Jack to do the same with Diane. But it is going to fail on both accounts.
