The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) may be kidnapped in Peru. Will Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) score some leverage against Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) by snatching his loyal confidant and most recent hire?
Lauren Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) had a bad feeling about Michael getting mixed up in Newman family business again.
When the Newmans are involved, trouble tends to follow!
However, Lauren’s concerns have mostly been about Victor monopolizing Michael’s time up to now.
Those concerns were warranted since Victor ordered Michael to take this Peru trip almost immediately.
Unfortunately, this trip could end in disaster for Michael.
Y&R fans know Ashland has been receiving phone calls about “the American” asking way too many questions at the Peruvian clinic.
How will Ashland handle Michael once he digs too deep and hits the jackpot?
Michael will get a doctor to admit on video that Ashland paid him to falsify his medical records.
From there, Ashland may retaliate against Michael and score some leverage against Victor in the process.
After all, Victor might be more willing to negotiate if Michael goes missing. Ashland might contend that if Victor wants Michael to return home to his loved ones, then he’s running the show now.
This could even lead to Ashland trying to score the whole Newman-Locke empire for himself.
Ashland will make some last-ditch effort to keep Victoria Newman-Locke (Amelia Heinle) on his side, but captive Michael could be his insurance policy in the end.
Lauren will battle growing fears about Michael during the week of February 28-March 4.
That suggests Michael won’t be home yet – leading Lauren to believe that something might’ve happened to her husband in Peru.
Michael could become Ashland’s kidnapping victim and bargaining chip depending on how Y&R wants to take this.
Will Michael land in danger thanks to Ashland’s desperation? Will Victor consider cutting some sort of deal with Ashland to bring Michael home?
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Ashland will get downright ruthless once everything falls apart, so stay tuned!
