The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers update for Tuesday, September 21, teases that Mariah Copeland’s (Camryn Grimes) baby bomb will rock Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) – and Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) will have a tense blackmailer meeting.
In their hotel suite, Mariah will think the way to happiness is through another baby. She’ll propose the idea to Tessa and will feel like having a child of their own will help her move on from Dominic Newman-Abbott-Chancellor.
Tessa will naturally think Mariah’s decision is impulsive and a bit irrational. Although they’ve discussed starting a family someday, someday isn’t now!
That’s obviously something Mariah and Tessa were thinking of doing down the line – after marriage and more development in their careers.
Tessa and Mariah don’t have the time or money to take this step just yet.
It also isn’t what’s best for Mariah, who needs therapy rather than a baby-making goal to accomplish. Mariah has a hole in her heart, but she can’t cram another kid in it just because she’s missing Dominic.
Tessa will have to explain all that as gently as possible, so we’ll see how Mariah responds.
Y&R fans can expect Mariah to do an about-face on something in Tuesday’s show. That could mean Mariah will see Tessa’s point and change her mind about the baby plan.
On the other hand, Mariah might determine that it was a mistake to cut off all Dominic contact.
Mariah might decide moving out was plenty and contend that she can still see Dominic in small doses. Bottom line, Mariah is all over the place emotionally, so it’s hard to predict exactly what she’ll do next!
After getting another text, Ashland will meet up with a familiar face at Society.
The blackmailer will be revealed as Jesse Gaines (Jamison Jones) – or perhaps Gerard Gaines depending on which name offered in SOD is the right one.
Whatever the case, Ashland has been paying Gaines to keep his mouth shut about some of the skeletons in Ashland’s closet.
The trouble is Ashland supposedly has a terminal illness – and that means the payments will dry up once he’s dead and gone.
Gaines will think they should alter the terms of their agreement, so he’ll demand $3 million before the night’s over.
Gaines will contend that’s all it’ll take to go away permanently and let Ashland’s secret die with him.
Ashland can get his hands on $3 million cash no problem, but he’ll feel like this is a slippery slope.
If Ashland caves in, Gaines could threaten him again and try to get even more.
That could become an even bigger issue if Ashland’s terminal illness is made up as many fans have suspected.
Over with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), he’ll find Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) rather hard to read.
Billy knows they’re on the same side when it comes to their distrust of Ashland, but Nick will make it hard to guess where he really stands.
It sounds like Billy won’t be sure whether Nick’s concerned enough to take action.
Of course, Billy is certainly willing to do whatever it takes to bring Ashland down and protect Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).
As for the blackmail situation, someone else will become privy to Gaines’ demands and make a mess of things soon.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Ashland will feel the walls closing in, so stay tuned.
