Young and the Restless early weekly spoilers for March 16th- 20th reveal Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) being tormented and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) going dark.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s happening the rest of this week and then we’re going to dive into the action for next week.
Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, March 11th: Adam Helps Nick and Sharon with Matt
So, on Wednesday, March 11th, we’ve got Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) going over to see Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam for help because Riza, a woman that Adam knew in Vegas, has ties to Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) drug operation that apparently extends all the way into Las Vegas.
And Adam really doesn’t want to dig into his awful past. And Nick really doesn’t want him to either. But Sharon really wants Adam’s help to stop Matt. So Adam says that he will locate Riza, but hates that his past is linked to someone as horrible as Matt.
And Nick and Sharon talk later after they leave about Adam and his trauma from his past that took his memories. And Nick is worried about triggering Adam, but Sharon insists that they need Adam to do this.
And she really does not want Nick returning to Los Angeles by himself. And then he gets another text from Matt and he tells Sharon that the messages and the threats are getting worse. Nick will not let Sharon see the latest threat, but Nick tells her that they got to stop Matt once and for all.
Y&R Spoilers: Billy Fills Sally In
Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) tells Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) sent proof that he has Jack. And then Billy says he has to go follow this lead. They know this, you know, car with dark windows took Jack to a marina. So, they’re going to head there. And Billy wants Sally to stay behind, stay safe.
And Billy’s absolutely stunned that Victor went to these lengths and says no matter what, he has to get his brother Jack back. And Sally’s really glad that Billy is going to find Jack. I am too. I was worried that he’d put Chancellor first, but he is not. So, that’s some major growth right there.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Everybody Hates Phyllis
Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) demands that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) tell her what she and Victor were talking about in secret at the ranch. And Phyllis tells her some BS that she realized she was wrong for what she did. And of course, Nikki doesn’t buy it. And then Phyllis says, “Go ask Victor if you want to know. If he wanted you to know, he would have told you.”
Then Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) interrupt and they tell Nikki that Victor kidnapped Jack. And Diane tells Nikki that Victor demanded Chancellor for Jack’s safe return. Now, Phyllis won’t confirm this. And Diane calls out Phyllis and says she’s working an angle. I mean, honestly, I think she is trying to negotiate, but Victor keeps changing the deal. And Nikki says she will get answers from Victor.
And then Diane reminds her, you know, Jack almost died saving your life. So, Nikki leaves very upset right as Billy shows up and they tell him that Victor is lying to Nikki, which of course does not surprise Billy at all. And Phyllis tells them that Victor is being difficult and now he wants everything back, not just Chancellor.
So, Diane and Kyle demand Phyllis make the deal, give it all back. But she refuses and says she is going to negotiate with Victor. And they tell Phyllis if Jack winds up hurt, it is all Phyllis’s fault. She’s to blame. And then Nikki comes into the ranch house screaming for Victor to come out and face her. And I cannot wait for this showdown.
Young and the Restless Spoilers Thursday, March 12th: Victoria Defends Victor
Thursday, March 12th, we’ve got Adam coming back to Nick with some important news. So, it looks like Adam might have located Rizza in Vegas. Adam, of course, knows her from his Spider days where he was a card sharp. If you don’t remember her, she was on Y&R for a few episodes, not a lot. And that was back in 2019, I think, when we first got Mark Grossman in the role.
Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) has upsetting news for Noah Newman (Lucas Adams). And I’m sure this is going to involve Matt and his ongoing threats. And I do wonder if Sienna is going to offer herself as bait to try and entrap Matt. And of course, Noah is not going to like that at all.
Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) comes to Victor’s defense. I know, crazy, right? And I’m sure Nikki’s going to rant to Victoria about Victor kidnapping Jack, but I don’t think Victoria is going to care.
Even though that is her kid’s grandfather, she is absolutely as ruthless as Victor and thinks there’s no limit to what they should do to save the family business. I hope that Victoria is not heading back into that phase she was in. Remember when she was CEO of Newman Enterprises and she was just a horrible shrew and was kicking the whole family out.
Friday, March 13th: Lily Returns and Patty Traps Jack on Y&R
Friday, March 13th, we’re going to wrap up this week on Young and the Restless with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) returning to Genoa City. Christel Khalil has her first air date back from maternity leave. I do wonder if Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) tracked her down and brought her back or if Lily returns to town on her own.
Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is really desperate to make things right with Lily, but she may not want to hear it. Or maybe she actually changed her mind about Cane since he gave everything back for her and the kids.
Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) lures Jack into a trap on Friday. Patty, of course, wants more than just a kiss. She is absolutely nuts and also nuts about Jack.
Nikki and Victor’s marriage hits a breaking point. Kidnapping Jack and putting him in danger and keeping her in the dark about it probably pushes Nikki over the edge and her questioning Victor and being worried about Jack, I think is going to enrage Victor.
Week of March 16th-20th: Adam Goes Dark on Young and the Restless
Then the week of March 16th through the 20th, we’re going to see Adam taking steps and tapping into his dark side along with Chelsea to help Nick and Sharon deal with the Matt problem and keep the Newmans safe.
And Phyllis continues to try to earn forgiveness from Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei), knowing that will carry over onto Summer Newman (Allison Lanier). But Phyllis doesn’t want to give everything back to get Jack. But she’s willing to give back a slice of it. I don’t think the Newmans are going to settle for that.
Nikki is going to be absolutely horrified because Victor is going to stand by his ruthless decision to abduct Jack. And I wonder if Victor is going to admit that Patty has him. I don’t think that he will, but if Diane finds out about it, she’s going to go nuclear because she knows that means that Jack isn’t safe. Patty shot him three times, I think, in the chest many years ago. To be fair, she also shot Victor.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki Flips on Victor
Patty shot him three times, I think, in the chest many years ago. To be fair, she also shot Victor Bottom line, Victor does not give one damn what happens to Jack and has absolutely zero remorse. And I think that is going to appall Nikki and absolutely jeopardize their marriage.
Now, obviously, she’ll be back to Victor before too long because Nikki always enables and forgives and forgets. It’s like she’s gaslighted. I don’t even know. But she lets everything slide. Hopefully, this time she’ll dig in her heels, but I’d be surprised.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Matt vs. Newmans
The massive showdown between Matt and the Newmans is coming very soon. Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is going to learn her fate soon and what consequences she will face for kidnapping Dominic Newman. Jack’s family is working real hard to find him while he does his best to outwit Patty and keep her claws off of him.
I feel like that she’s going to want a lot from Jack and is going to take from him even without consent, especially because Patty knows that Jack is with Diane now. And not only is Patty crazy for Jack, but she hates Diane because she cheated with Jack when Patty was married to him, even slept with him on their wedding day.
So, Patty’s grudge against Diane is absolutely understandable. And the woman’s unhinged. She says she’s redeemed. There’s no way. Meanwhile, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) wants Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) back and presses Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) to start trying to seduce Kyle and get that game going.
And Cane, I’m interested to see if he’s horrified that Lily worked with Victor to fake her kidnapping or if he says, “Okay, I get it. I deserved it.” That’s your Young and the Restless early weekly spoiler outlook. Thanks for choosing Soap Dirt!
