“The Young and The Restless” (Y&R) spoilers for the week of Monday, January 11 through Friday, January 15 indicate that Billy pulls back from the brink, Victor tempts Kevin, and Neville gets closer to Ashley plus so much more. Here’s what you need to know.
As Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) hovers at death’s door with little brain activity, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) is frustrated to find out she has no say in his fate since Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) has medical power of attorney.
Given Billy’s grim odds, Jack spends some time at Billy’s bedside wondering what to do about his brother’s condition. Dr Simon Neville (Michael E Knight) insists Billy is too far gone for his pharmaceutical intervention and reminds Jill that surgery was her choice and a mistake.
Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) is struggling with her tumor and the protocol to treat it is so harsh that she collapses at the labs. Neville checks her into a hotel room to rest and spends time reading to her and caring for her. He’s obviously getting very attached to his beautiful research partner.
Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) doesn’t believe the ruse of an affair between Neil Winters (Kristoff St John) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). A business meeting between Neil and Hilary at Jabot Labs turns into monkey business.
They get busy on the office couch and Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) will spot the two of them naked and intertwined but walks out without them knowing he saw. Later, Neil will be disgusted that he gave in to temptation and falls off the wagon in despair – is it just one drink or the start of a bender?
Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) will confront Hilary about toying with her father and brother. Also concerned is Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) after he finds out Nikki was lunching with Neil at the GCAC and she ignores his calls. Victor goes over to find her and sees her coming down from the guest rooms.
Victor demands to know why she was upstairs – will Nikki make an excuse but imply she may be considering her options since he’s been hyper-focused on business and neglecting her? Nikki and Victor will have a serious chat about the state of their relationship.
Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Jill will bury the hatchet while grieving and preparing for the worst at Billy’s beside. By mid-week, though, Billy begins to beat the odds and we’ll see his new face as Jason Thompson has his first air date as Billy Boy and his condition improves beyond expectations.
Adam Newman (Justin Hartley) hits a speedbump in the dangerous gambit he and Victor are playing with Luca Santori (Miles Gaston Villanueva). Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) doesn’t like what she’s seeing in her husband and demands that Victor let her know what’s going on with Adam.
Noah Newman (Robert Adamson) is still struggling with his guilt over hitting Billy. Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) demands to know what’s going on with him. Will Noah confess his involvement? No doubt Mariah would tell him to keep quiet too – especially now that Billy’s condition is improving.
Early in the week, Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) is very tempted by Victor’s investment offer in his new cyber scheme and by week’s end, Kevin will be stunned by a visitor – is hacker Natalie (Mara McCaffray) in Genoa City at last? Watch out Mariah!
