Welcome to the Latest Young and the Restless Spoilers on Soap Dirt
Hey there, CBS soap opera fans. This is Soap Dirt on YouTube, and we have got your latest Young and the Restless weekly spoilers in the form of a promo for the week of May 22nd through 26th.
This was out early because it already aired in Canada. So we’ve gotten a look at it. We are going to tell you what’s in it. And then we’re going to break it down given the current spoilers that we know, and then we’re going to show it to you, and it’s going to be awesome.
A Sneak Peek at the New Promo for Y&R
So The Young and the Restless promo this week… That was released this week for next week has three big scenes, and right away, we’re going to see Elena Dawson slamming the cheaters and we are going to see Nick Newman finding some blood. Let’s dig in.
In the first scene, we have Elena Dawson walking in on Victoria and Nate Hastings, At their office at Newman Enterprises, and Elena has some snark to deliver, and she’s definitely entitled.
She says, Would you look at this? The two of you together, and you have your clothes on. Burn. The second Young and the Restless scene is Billy Abbott talking to Jack Abbott.
And he tells him that Ashley might be planning a coup. The third scene is Nick holding a bottle of champagne and says, Is this a smudge of paint?
And Sharon says It came like that. Nick says, I hate to say it, but it kind of looks like blood. There’s a good reason for that. Probably is.
Unveiling the Truth: Elena, Victoria, Nate Drama on Young and the Restless
Alright, let’s dig in and break this down. So Elena, Victoria, Nate. Nate basically already told Victoria Newman that he wants to keep seeing her, sleeping with her, or whatever.
And she was sort of like, Oh, I didn’t really want to hurt Elena. She’s basically said that to her mom. She’s kind of said it to Nick. She didn’t care. Elena was the last thing on her mind. She knew that Nate was trying hard to be faithful on Young and the Restless.
And she did everything she could to make sure that he wasn’t. And then, of course, he wasn’t, he hopped right into bed with her as soon as she got him out of the state for business.
Elena Unleashes on Nate & Vikki on Young and the Restless
And, of course, someone found out and gave Elena Dawson all the information to go running over there to confront them. But she caught them at a cafe, and it was clear that they were involved and had been canoodling, and then he confessed.
But at least she didn’t, you know, walk in on them in flagrante. And she’s lucky she didn’t because Audra has heard them outside the door. Nick Newman has heard them. They have been doing all kinds of stuff in that CEO office on Young and the Restless.
So it wasn’t really clear what Elena was doing there unless she just came to tweak their noses which she did. Also, she quit her podcast and may go do it somewhere else. Hamilton Winters, she could go over there.
You know, she’d probably be on much better terms with her other ex, Devon, who’s no fan of Nate. So we’ll have to wait and see exactly why she’s there, but she gets in some sick burns, and I have to say good for her.
Because Victoria’s been awful, and What’s really frustrating about this situation with Victoria is how awful she is all the time, but she kind of keeps getting everything that she wants. She is definitely Victor Newman, Jr.
The Power Play at Jabot: Billy and Jack’s Confrontation on Y&R
So the second scene, Billy Abbott telling Jack that Ashley might be planning a coup on Young and the Restless. Remember, Ashley tried to get Billy on her side. She was basically telling him that this stuff with Diane, these accusations against Diane, are going to have backlash on Jabot.
And Jack is CEO, it’s not a good look, cause he’s standing by her, he’s engaged to her, yadda yadda yadda. But now, of course, Jack knows that Diane definitely didn’t do this, and Phyllis is alive.
So what I’m wondering is when Billy tells Jack that Ashley Abbott is planning a coup because of these charges against Diane, then Jack may cave. It seems like he’s probably going to tell Billy because he knows Billy cared about Phyllis and was upset about her “death.”
It seems like that’s an opportune time for Jack to say, well, There’s not going to be any charges against Diane on Young and the Restless. Phyllis cooked this all up, and she is alive and well, hiding from the consequences of her actions.
The Unveiling of Phyllis’s Scheme: Shockwaves in Genoa City
Billy Abbott should be the person probably least surprised about Phyllis Summers doing this. Well, Billy has no room to talk about anyone doing anything because he has done so many bad things over the years on Young and the Restless.
I mean, Billy Boy Abbott is a hot mess. But also, he knows up close and personally exactly what a scheming, lying manipulator Phyllis Summers can be.
And, of course, she can be a lot of other things. She can be wonderful. She loves playing video games with him and Nick. She’s a lot of things, but at her heart, you know, Red’s a schemer.
Ashley Abbott’s Intriguing Reactions and Speculations on Young and the Restless
So the big question is… What’s going to happen with Ashley Abbott because she is giddy. She is giddy at the idea that Diane Jenkins is going to go to prison for killing Phyllis Summers. I don’t even think Ashley actually cares whether Phyllis is dead or not.
Because she was not a fan of hers, you know. They united for a purpose, but it’s not like they were out shopping and getting their nails done together. So, it is going to be interesting to see the look on Ashley’s face when all the charges against Diane are dropped on Young and the Restless.
The ankle monitor comes off, and Jack probably, I don’t know, marries her at the Abbott mansion. That is going to just drive Ashley up a wall, and I am here for it. And you know Phyllis is going to be off somewhere stewing because she certainly won’t be invited.
The Love Triangle: Diane, Jack, and Ashley in The Young and the Restless
But Diane and Jack will probably invite, invite Ashley and Tucker McCall just to rub their noses in their happiness. The last scene is the most interesting scene to me with Nick and Sharon.
Because this kicks off a new plot in this conversation that Nick Newman and Sharon Newman are having on Young and the Restless.
It’s everything you need to know about who is coming back from the past that’s going to stalk her. And pull Nick away from Sally Spectra and closer to Sharon to protect her.
Unraveling the Mystery of the Champagne Bottle in Y&R
It’s all about that gosh darn champagne bottle. He wants to know if it’s a smudge of paint because there’s this red smudge on the label, and Sharon Newman says it came like that. Then, Nick says it looks like blood. I believe it is blood.
Do you remember the name Cameron Kirsten played by Linden Ashby on Young and the Restless? Who, by the way, is Susan Walters’ real-life husband. Susan Walters, of course, plays Diane Jenkins.
Cameron Kirsten was this monster that tormented Sharon. And she thought at one point she had killed him by cracking him in the head with a champagne bottle. I suspect that it might be that same champagne bottle, and he kept it as some kind of bizarre trophy.
And maybe had it refilled so he could gift it to her, or he got another of the same vintage and maybe put some of his blood on it. I don’t know. But the very fact that she is holding a bottle that is identical to what she thought was the murder weapon.
Sharon Newman’s Stalker Revealed in Our Young and the Restless Playlist
We did a whole video yesterday, I think. Check our Young and the Restless playlist, and there’s a video about Sharon Newman’s stalker revealed. We had two suggestions for who we thought it might be, but only one that we really thought it was. Cameron Kirsten is who we said that we thought it was, and we are correct.
The Reprisal of Linden Ashby’s Role as Cameron Kirsten
This champagne bottle, you’re going to see it very soon. Susan Walters’ husband, Linden Ashby, is on set, and he is reprising his role from the 2000s. So, Matt Clark was our other possible candidate on Young and the Restless, but he died. However, so did Diane Jenkins.
So dead isn’t, you know, always a permanent condition, but we entertained him just to explore a couple of different avenues. But we’re still very, very sure that it is Cameron Kirsten. The very fact that the actor is married to Susan Walters.
And now herself on contract, that it’s, you know, a convenient way to bring on a blast from the past so that the husband and wife can work together.
How Y&R’s Elena Reacts to the Unfolding Drama
Everything that you need to know and the bottom line is this Young and the Restless promo. The big takeaway is that Elena gets to snark a little bit at her cheating ex and the woman he cheated with. But the big thing Is Nick finding blood and how long?
Time Frame of Nick and Sharon’s Discovery in The Young and the Restless
The question is, how long is it going to take him and Sharon to do the math and remember, Oh, yeah, we, you know, she cracked somebody in the head with a champagne bottle.
And then, if you don’t remember the culmination of the story, she dumped his body in a dumpster. I don’t know how she managed to do that because she’s so tiny.

Looking Back at Cameron Kirsten’s Past Misdeeds on Young and the Restless
She left him for dead, but then he came back and kind of pretended like the incident never happened. But then he murdered Mariah Copeland and Cassie Newman’s biological dad, Frank Barrett.
And he set it up to implicate Sharon in the crime because he was still trying to get hold of her. Then he convinced her to leave the country with him to run away from the fate of going to jail as a murderer.
The Showdown: Nick, Sharon, and Cameron on a Plane in Y&R
But Nick snuck on the plane. There was this whole confrontation. They all wound up going out of the plane with parachutes. And the last we saw of Cameron Kirsten was him being hauled off to prison. He’s clearly out, and they’re kind of repeating things because Jeremy Stark just got out of prison before his demise.
Reflecting on Jeremy Stark’s Release and What It Means for The Young and the Restless
I don’t know if they’re thinking, Hey, we, uh, we just killed Jeremy Stark. We need another prisoner on the loose. So fun things to think about. Strap in and watch that Young and the Restless spoilers. We’re going to show it to you right now.
