The Young and the Restless (Y&R) preview and updates for the week of July 20-24 confirm that Jill Abbott (Lauren Koslow) has a secret, while Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) prepares to leave town.
Plus, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) make a power move – so let’s talk about what fans should expect to see unravel over the next five days in Genoa City.
First things first, after Matt’s declaration that he’s leaving GC during the Friday, July 17 episode, he’ll make his rounds to tell both Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) his new plans.
Victor will warn Matt that leaving town means breaking the deal they had, and Matt has yet to deliver the goods on Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).
This means Matt may have to face prison or worse, so he’ll have a lot to contemplate.
Meanwhile, Phyllis will pull out all her most sizzling moves to convince Matt to stay.
Phyllis feels a connection with Matt and doesn’t want him to leave, so it’ll be interesting to see what she does to ensure he stays put.
Elsewhere, The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of July 20 note that Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) will be outraged by Matt’s statements.
He’ll feel as if Matt is just playing more games by saying one thing but gearing up for the ultimate ambush.
In fact, as the days go by, Nick’s comment will worry Sharon Newman (Sharon Case).
Nick has continually noted that he’ll be the one to ‘get rid’ of Matt, so Sharon will be concerned that he could cross a dangerous line to ‘protect’ his family.
Over to Adam, he’ll attempt to make a deal with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope).
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) wants Newman Media back and seems bent on ruining Sally and her new venture.
In fact, the Moustache declared war on Sally and her company, Spectra-Charles, this past week. As such, Adam will come up with a plan to cause limited damage to his former love and SC.
Sally and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) presented an offer to sell Newman Media to Victor at market value.
Their thoughts were a smooth and easy transition, as they can’t afford to battle Victor on this level, and they don’t want SC decimated by the billionaire in the process.
Still, while Victor agreed to mull over the deal, Adam knows he won’t agree to it.
As such, Young and the Restless spoilers confirm that Adam will present an idea to secretly pay Sally for Newman Media, but tell Victor he was able to snag the company from her.
Sally will tell Adam she’ll think about it and go back to Audra with this option.
As the week goes by, Sally and Audra will contemplate Adam’s proposal, and all arrows point to the idea that they’ll agree with it.
During the latter end of the week, Adam and Chelsea will pull a power move to impress Victor.
It sounds like they’ll secretly buy Newman Media off Sally and tell the man that they’ve successfully scored the communications conglomerate back.
How will Victor feel when he finds out he’s been lied to? Still, Victor may be more preoccupied with Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) health and vision loss to bother with anything else.
Nikki will get her bandages taken off early in the week, with Victor by her side.
There’s a good chance she won’t be able to see after this happens; however, Victor will make a promise to Nikki about her health, so he’ll likely vow to be there for her every step of the way.
Speaking of health, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) will return home from the hospital, and Diane Abbott (Susan Walters) will help him with his recovery.
With that said, Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns) will be on her mind. Markham is still MIA, and Diane will worry about this.
She’ll come up with an idea to reach out to Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) to see if he can steer the Abbotts toward a clue on where Markham might be.
Still, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) will feel as if she’s the only one who will be able to get through to Martin for answers, so she’ll make that scary call and reach out to the man.
Elsewhere, Y&R spoilers for the week of July 20-24 note that Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will continue to bond as they share secrets.
It’s important to note that as Kyle is gunning for Victor, Vicky had better watch what she tells the young man.
Over to Cane, he’ll strike a hard bargain with someone, so it’ll be interesting to see the deal he tries to organize.
Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) will be seen this week as well, as he converses with his mother-in-law, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson).
He’ll find common ground with her, so maybe she’s able to help him deal with all the resentment he has towards Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes).
Lastly, Sally and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) will realize that Jill is hiding a secret from them.
The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of July 20-24 hint that this might be about Jill’s health, so is her condition far more fatal than she’s let on?
