1) Newman's New Year drama
In the upcoming episodes of The Young and The Restless, the Newmans will be shown celebrating New Year's Eve at the ranch with the family. Victor Newman will be at the center of things while Nikki hosts the gathering. Throughout their celebration, several underlying tensions and cracks among the family members will be revealed.

They will be seen confronting each other, prompting Victor to step in to seek a resolution.
2) Ian's manipulation of Tessa
Ian Ward's history on The Young and The Restless has been anything but morally upright. His villainous tactics to manipulate others for his own gain and his recurring habit of causing trouble for the residents of Genoa City have been defining traits of his character. This week's episodes will depict how Ian's new prey is Tessa.
Tessa, a budding musician, will be shown performing at the Society, where Ian attends her gig under the disguise of a fan. As soon as the crowd thins, he will spike her drink with a drug, which would cause Tessa to collapse. When she begins to reel from the effects of the drug, Ian will swoop in to save her, acting as her savior.
The upcoming episodes of The Young and The Restless will shed light on Ian's true intentions and what happens next to Tessa, who has no idea he is behind her collapse.
3) Danny Romalotti's return to Genoa City
Danny Romlotti, whose character has been absent from Genoa City for a while, will be seen making a comeback. His ex-wife, Christine Blair, will deal with the emotional repercussions of his return. During his absence, Christine raised their son Daniel on her own and will be shown feeling conflicted about his reappearance.
While only the upcoming episodes of The Young and The Restless can reveal the real reason behind Danny's return, Christine will be seen struggling to cope with the sudden change. Their past together was filled with dreams, and since his departure, it has taken Christine considerable effort to move on. Fans and viewers are left to wonder whether Danny's return has any hidden motives.
