Major developments to expect on The Young and the Restless from December 9 to 13
1) Bad blood
The soap's newest villains Ian Ward and Jordan Howard have been spreading their nefarious net throughout Genoa City for the past few weeks. And they are set to unleash even more chaos going forward.
Spoilers indicate that Ian shall cross paths with someone from his past in this coming week. Given that the villain has had a checkered history with many people, the possible list for this encounter is a long one. It might be either Mariah Copeland or Phyllis Summers, the two people he has tormented. It is even likely that he might come across someone from the Newman family, his oldest rivals: Nikki, Victor, or Adam.
2) Mind your own business
The past few weeks have seen a battle being waged between business CEOs in soap city, with the company Chancellor being the focal point. At present, the company has been taken away from Billy Abbott, with Nikki Newman instated as the head.
It seems that many people are ready to converge on Chancellor. Last week, Billy asked Phyllis to help him bring Victor Newman down. Now, spoilers reveal that he might also add Diane Jenkins to the list of the anti-Victor squad. Meanwhile, Lily Winters might just make her plan to reinstate her stature at the company.
3) Guilty or not guilty
Sharon Newman has been dealing with the aftermath of her confession to Heather Stevens' murder. Even though her ex-husband Nick believes that she is innocent, Phyllis and Daniel shall be seen demanding justice for Heather with barbs against Sharon.
Spoilers also hint that a toxicology report on Sharon's medication might be inbound. It remains to be seen what news this might have for the character and her legal representation. If the medication was addled or spiked, Sharon might likely get a strong ground to plead on. If not, the character might be in more trouble than anticipated.
Audiences can watch The Young and the Restless released via CBS and Paramount+. New episodes of the soap are released via the platforms on all weekdays.
