The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Nick (Joshua Morrow) will learn the secret paternity of a child very soon. A classic soap head-fake won’t have Christian’s (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) biological connection to Adam (Justin Hartley) revealed. Instead, Nick will learn who Bella’s (Cali May Kinder) real dad is.
Y&R fans instantly knew that Scott’s (Daniel Hall) conversation with an inebriated Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) was leading somewhere. Scott’s resultant conversation with Nick caused him to question the events surrounding Adam’s assumed death and Chloe’s possible responsibility.
Why did that cabin blow up? That was the question Nick and his mother Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) discussed at the rebuilt Newman Ranch shortly thereafter. Backhanded thanks are offered again to fire bug Sharon (Sharon Case) for destroying the original Ranch house. That classic setting is still sorely missed and has been replaced by a much smaller and far less pleasing interior setting.
So then Nick just so happens to find the tracking device inside Connor’s (Gunner and Ryder Gadbois) blue dinosaur. Soapily convenient, but necessary to push this previously fixed plot forward. Locating the dart gun Chloe used proved to be a giant step in uncovering the true facts behind Adam’s apparent death. Adam Newman’s apparent death obviously implies that this infamous character isn’t living in Purgatory because he wasn’t all bad.
Viewers recall that Chloe had a shoe box stashed away. Along with that clue, one would expect that a fractured mind would keep proof of her second-born daughter’s paternity results. So is Billy-boy, as played by Jason Thompson the dad? Might it be Kevin (Greg Rikaart), even though a test he requested proved otherwise? Possibly it’s the unnamed man Chloe has refused to identify to-date? Then again, there is another option.
Chloe took an unauthorized sample of Billy’s DNA before departing, with the intent of having herself artificially inseminated. The goo-goo eyes she’s made at Billy since Thompson began wearing Mr. Abbott’s face appear to indicate that Chloe thought he was Bella’s father.
The Genoa City medical community doesn’t have the greatest reputation. It’s not exactly Triple-A rated. Botched tests, combined with various employees who’ve been bought off through the years would have many using other sources for reliable testing.
Keeping the last paragraph in mind. Couldn’t it be possible that Chloe took the sample that was marked ‘Billy Abbott’ from the lab in 2014, but that the contents were mislabeled and the lady (a term which is above her credentials) in question never knew whose sample actually facilitated the conception of her child?
Nick likely won’t know all when he reads the hidden paperwork that Chloe maintained. Instead, he’ll just see that Billy is Bella’s dad. Yes, viewers are generally only fed one answer at the climatic end to any storyline. CDL is a leading source for everything linked to The Young and the Restless.
