The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) will soon be in the hot seat. As Y&R viewers know, back when his “alter” had taken control of his personality, he tried to murder Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) by running him down with a car. Fortunately for Billy, Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) intervened and ended up pushing Adam out from the path of the car. Adam never saw who had tried to kill him, but he later assumed it was Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) who arranged a hit on him.
Well, Adam’s assumption that Victor was the one who tried to kill him started a whole chain of events that left the Newman family reeling. As a knee-jerk reaction to Victor’s supposed attempt on his life, Adam decided to tamper with Victor’s medication. He ended up doubling Victor’s dosage of his experimental meds, which led Victor to experience some severe side effects.
Of course, Adam’s goal was to weaken Victor so that the rest of the family would be distracted, and he could step in and take control of Newman Enterprises. But that never transpired, because Victor and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) figured out what Adam had done to the meds and hatched a counter-attack. Victor staged his own death to goad Adam into confessing to the meds tampering, and that ended up causing a major rift in the family from which the Newmans still haven’t recovered.
Well, The Young and the Restless spoilers indicate that Victor is going to find out that Billy is the one who tried to run down Adam, and he’s going to be furious. He’ll of course be peeved that an attempt was made on his son’s life, but it looks like he’ll also end up blaming Billy for setting events into motion that ultimately caused such upheaval in the Newman family. According to Y&R spoilers, Victor will demand answers from Billy, but he probably won’t be expecting the answers he gets.
It looks like Victor will ultimately hear about the murder attempt and the bizarre reason behind it. Victor will probably be shocked to learn that Billy had an alternate personality, and that Adam was in grave danger from this “alter.” But will Victor wind up being understanding and forgiving? Y&R viewers can probably expect Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) to step in and demand that her father understand what Billy was going through.
It might take a while, though, for Victor to even consider forgiving Billy for his attempt on Adam’s life. In fact, Victor might directly blame Billy for causing the problems that the Newmans are now facing. After all, Summer Newman (Hunter King) is still barely speaking to both Victor and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), and Adam actually left town over the whole thing – leaving Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) devastated.
Of course, another consideration here is that Billy could be in real legal trouble if and when the truth about what he did comes out. Sure, he was psychologically compromised at the time, but he could still be held legally responsible for attempted murder…that is, if Victor decides that the truth should come out.
Do you think that Billy will ultimately go down for trying to kill Adam? Stay tuned to the CBS soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Young and the Restless spoilers, updates, and news.
