The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers recap for Thursday, January 16, teases that Faith Newman (Alyvia Alyn Lind) will worry about her mom. She’ll talk to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) about Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), but Nick won’t think they should jump to the worst conclusion. However, Faith will feel like Nick believes Sharon’s a breast cancer center patient. She’ll convince Nick to go find out what’s up before they share a hug.
Meanwhile, Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) will support Sharon at her appointment and promise to take notes. After Sharon’s doctor appears, Y&R spoilers say Sharon will push for honesty. She’ll want to know if she can beat this, so the doc will give it to her straight. There are no guarantees, but the doctor thinks Sharon stands a good chance.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Sharon will receive updates on her stage two cancer and treatment plans. The doctor will recommend starting out with chemotherapy for size reduction followed by surgery. After Sharon brings up the topic of a mastectomy, she’ll learn there wouldn’t be any benefits to a proactive one in her case. Sharon will be ready to tackle this, so she’ll ask when they start.
Later, The Young and the Restless spoilers say Sharon and Rey will make it back to the cottage. At Sharon’s request, Rey will dash off to get a book the doctor suggested. Sharon will break down in tears before Nick arrives at her door. She’ll try to get rid of Nick and offer a cold as an excuse, but Nick will insist he knows that’s not the case.
Once Sharon lets Nick in, they’ll discuss the paper Faith found. Nick will point out that a lot of people care about Sharon and want to know what’s going on. Sharon will tearfully confess that she has cancer. She’ll hate the idea of coming clean to Faith, but Nick will note that Faith already suspects it. He’ll feel like Faith’s strong like her mom, so they can all get through this.
Sharon will agree to fill her children in, but she won’t want the secret to spread any further. After Rey comes back, he’ll be glad that Nick knows the truth. At Society, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will video chat with Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks). Tessa will be on the private jet as she plays a snippet of a song for Mariah, who’ll be surprised by the different sound.
Mariah will learn Tanner Watts (Chase Coleman) has been collaborating with Tessa. She’ll assure Tessa the song will be a hit before talk turns to Tanner’s star power. Tessa will mention that they’re going to party on a private yacht later. Tanner really gets the royal treatment.
After they say their goodbyes and disconnect, Mariah will turn her attention to Summer Newman (Hunter King) – who she almost didn’t recognize without Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) on one side and Theo Vanderway (Tyler Johnson) on the other. Summer will eventually admit Kyle’s letting Theo get under his skin. She’ll be worried about Kyle’s life blowing up, but Mariah will think the guys can handle this on their own.
Mariah will wonder if Summer wishes Kyle and Theo were clashing over her instead of Lola Abbott (Sasha Calle). Summer will be offended and insist she’s just trying to be a good friend. She won’t want things to explode, so Mariah will promise to have a chat with Kyle.
At Crimson Lights, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) will catch up with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). She won’t blame Billy for his part in her marriage ending. Lily will reflect on changes in her perspective due to prison and the women there. She’ll question why Billy seems off, so he’ll admit he’d like some of her wisdom.
After they acknowledge that Lily’s become the person she was meant to be, Billy will point out that nobody wants to fix her. Lily will remain concerned about Billy, but he’ll just keep steering the conversation away from him. Once Lily leaves, Billy will get on the phone to set up a meeting.
At the Grand Phoenix, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) will spy Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) talking to “Chance” Chancellor (Donny Boaz). Phyllis will urge Chance to hire her for his security business. She’ll think she could handle the website as well as the marketing.
Once Phyllis spots Amanda and heads toward her, Abby will corner Chance and warn him about who he’s dealing with. When Chance downplays Abby’s concerns, she’ll get irritated and suggest he can play in Phyllis’ crazy playground if he wants. After all, they’re not serious. Chance will shift gears and hope to score another date with Abby, but she’ll blow him off.
Back with Phyllis, she’ll bring Amanda up to speed on her change of plans. Phyllis now has her eye on a security business. Amanda will tell Phyllis she has to leave, so Phyllis will assume this is a hot date. Once Amanda exits, Phyllis will pester Chance again and put her rear end in his face before sauntering off.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Phyllis is giving this Chance plot her all, so it’ll be interesting to see how things turn out for her. We’ll keep you posted as other Y&R news comes in.
