The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers recap for Friday, January 31, teases that Sharon Newman (Sharon) will prepare for the next step. She’ll need to get a port installed for chemo, so she’ll fill Faith Newman (Alyvia Alyn Lind) in on what’s happening. Sharon will also express her gratitude to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) for keeping her cancer a secret.
After Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) takes Sharon for her procedure, she’ll want to keep busy at Crimson Lights. Rey will worry about how Sharon’s holding up, but she’ll reassure him. Soon after, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will spot Sharon’s bandage and jokingly ask if she got a tattoo. Sharon will claim she did and that it’s Rey’s badge number.
Once Faith arrives, Sharon will keep her from saying too much in front of Phyllis. Next, Phyllis will send “Chance” Chancellor (Donny Boaz) a text about a second date. Nick will pop in a little later to check on Sharon, so Phyllis will once again gaze at the bandage. It won’t be long until Nick approaches Phyllis, who’ll pretend she’s in the loop on Sharon’s health crisis.
Nick’s reaction will confirm that for Phyllis, although he’ll claim Sharon’s fine. Of course, Phyllis won’t buy that and will suggest it must be serious. Before Phyllis exits, she’ll shoot Sharon a knowing look. Sharon will lash out at Nick for blabbing, but he’ll argue that Phyllis simply figured it out.
After Faith tries to calm Sharon down, Nick will suggest Phyllis isn’t going to spill anything. Sharon will order Nick to make sure of that. As for Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso), he’ll meet with Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) to talk about lightening his workload. Paul will be curious about the reason, but Rey won’t be able to divulge what’s really going on. Nevertheless, Paul will understand that family has to come first.
At Society, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will get Tessa Porter’s (Cait Fairbanks) voicemail before turning her attention to Lindsay (Kirby Bliss Blanton). It turns out Mariah and Lindsay already know each other from the Matchbox bar, but Lindsay’s job as a Society bartender is new. She’ll explain to Mariah and get updates on Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) tour.
After Lindsay realizes Mariah’s hiding something, she’ll push Mariah to open up. Mariah will suggest it’s complicated, but she’s keeping a secret for someone. Lindsay will talk to Mariah about the things she can’t control and will think she’s being a great friend. She’ll contend that a “bad ass” like Mariah can handle whatever it is.
On Tanner Watts’ (Chase Coleman) jet, he’ll sing Tessa’s latest song with her before he opens up about his girlfriend. Tanner will confess that she’s nothing like Tessa, but they make it work. Later, Mariah will send Tessa a text about missing her like crazy, but she’ll be taken aback when Tanner replies. He’ll note that Tessa’s doing soundcheck and will promise to pass the message along. A dirty move!
Lindsay will notice Mariah looking uneasy over the text, so she’ll question her about it. Y&R spoilers say Mariah will admit Tanner replied and is with Tessa. After Lindsay reflects on all the partying and hooking up people do on the road, Mariah will contend that she’s not worried. Lindsay will note that Tessa’s out there living her life, so Mariah should live hers and not check her phone every five minutes.
At the Grand Phoenix, Chance and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) will get honest. The Young and the Restless spoilers say Chance will encourage Abby to tell him how far she’s willing to take this. After Abby brings up Phyllis, Chance will insist Abby’s the one he wants. Abby will smile before they share a kiss.
Afterward, Chance will get a call about the woman in Vegas who’s asking questions. He’ll want this woman tailed so he can know every move she makes and everyone she’s in contact with. Back with Abby, she’ll goad Phyllis by pointing out that Chance made his choice. When she doesn’t get a reaction out of Phyllis, Abby will wonder what’s going on.
Phyllis will think Abby should just enjoy her victory and back off, but Abby will keep at it. Since Phyllis will still have Sharon on her mind, she’ll blow up about there being more important things in the world. Phyllis will get choked up despite her outburst and will insist she wants to do what’s right.
Abby will suggest that Phyllis doesn’t have to tell her now, but she’ll feel confident whatever it is will come out. It always does!
