After Jordan Howard's death, it could soon be Ian Ward's turn on The Young and the Restless, as the soap's spoilers suggest. However, unlike Jordan, who drank poisoned tea to kill herself, Ian's retribution is likely to be more heated and bloody, as spoilers hint. The seasoned criminal is set to get hold of a gun and try to torture the Newmans.

The last few months have been harrowing for Genoa City residents, as the two criminals, Jordan and Ian, collaborated to hurt others and get to their goals. While Jordan wanted to get to Claire, Ian tried to reach and hurt Mariah. With the recent revelations from a dying Jordan about Ian's role in Heather's murder along with Sharon's predicament, Victor Newman is determined to end Ian's evil run.

Meanwhile, The Young and the Restless has often presented unexpected and shocking twists in the storyline since it premiered in March 1973. One of the longest-running CBS daily soaps, it presents the lives and conflicting interests of various families in the fictional Genoa City.

The Young and the Restless: What is Ian's current plot dynamics after Jordan's death?

As The Young and the Restless fans may already know, Ian Ward got Jordan Howard out of prison by planting an impostor in her place. They then collaborated in killing Heather Stevens, tampering with Sharon Newman's medicines, running Phyllis Summers off the road in an accident, and kidnapping Sharon in an attempt to kill her.

Most of these events were plotted by Ian to destroy Sharon so that he could get close to his estranged protégé, Mariah Copeland, who is Sharon's daughter. Parallelly, Ian also befriended and manipulated Mariah's spouse Tessa into liking him.

With Jordan keeping Sharon captive but alive against Ian's wishes, Sharon could manage to free herself and return home. Meanwhile, Jordan met Claire Grace, who tricked her into coming to the Newman estate. After realizing that she had fallen into a trap with no option of an escape, Jordan deliberately killed herself.

On the other hand, as per the recent spoilers, Mariah suspects that Ian Ward possibly abducted Tessa and baby Aria. Mariah noticed that Tessa and Aria were missing while Aria's favorite toy was left behind. This pointed to a hurried exit, hinting at a probable kidnapping.


How would Ian Ward's story arc play out on The Young and the Restless?

As per the spoilers, Michael Baldwin would approach Ian Ward about Jordan's death and disclosure of his other crimes. Initially, Ian will likely feign ignorance but will eventually need to meet Victor Newman when his security personnel takes him to the Newman property.

While attorney Michael Baldwin may try to get Ian to sign a typed confession of his crimes, the criminal will continue to play innocent. However, when the security person holds him up, Ian will reach out to his holster and snatch the gun from him.

Not only will he hold Victor and Nick at gunpoint, but the sadist may call out Nikki Newman to watch the gruesome scene. With Nikki scared and disturbed, a furious Victor would take the face-off to the next level. There will likely be gunshots fired and some subsequent bloodbath.

However, as Nick would point out, Ian must live since he is the only one who knows the location of Tessa and baby Aria. If Ian died without revealing their whereabouts, Mariah's life would come crashing down.

As the spoilers for January 28 and 29, 2025, suggest, despite a heated struggle, Ian Ward's story arc will not end before Mariah's family is brought to safety.
