Young and the Restless spoilers for Oct 27-31, 2025 expect Sally Spectra‘s (Courtney Hope) taking a big risk and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) is in love.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’re going to dive into what’s next week.
Young and the Restless: Sharon Distraught and Mariah Haunted
So, Wednesday, October 22nd, we have Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) telling Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) said she needs her. Nick encourages Sharon to go be with Mariah in Boston since Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is unconscious and won’t know if she’s there or not. Sharon is very stressed out, says two of her kids are broken, but she’s also very worried that something will happen to Noah if she leaves and she won’t be there for him. So, Sharon calls Mariah’s therapist and talks to her about what’s going on and her progress. And then she tells Nick that she’s going to stay in Los Angeles. Sharon thinks that Mariah is where she needs to be and is getting the help that she needs.
But it doesn’t look that way actually because Mariah is hallucinating Ian Ward (Ray Wise) on Wednesday, but she’s saying he’s dead. She still thinks he’s dead. He’s not really there. And he says Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) left her. And then Ian says he’s all that Mariah has left. Ian’s talking about how he’s a part of her and he knows her. Mariah says that’s not true and calls him a stalker. Ian is saying he adores the evil inside of her, like when she stalked and haunted Sharon years ago. Ian’s actually encouraging her to unleash her darkness.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Mariah Recalls Her Trauma
Mariah tells Ian how she met a man that reminded her of him and they drank, they kissed, she went up to his room, and then Mariah tried to kill the guy. Ian says she couldn’t kill the guy because she doesn’t want Ian dead. He thinks Mariah likes his darkness, too. And bear in mind, this is all inside her head. So, these are all the things she’s thinking and fearing about herself.
Mariah vows she will never be evil like Ian. And Mariah also promises she will never let Ian break her. She says he doesn’t matter and she wants him gone. And then Ian suddenly is gone. But the Queen of Hearts card that Tessa had torn apart is now bizarrely whole, which it was when Ian was touching it. So, we’re getting supernatural. Really? It’s just weird.
Y&R Spoilers: Nick’s Investigation and a Shocking Kiss
Nick calls Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) about this guy, Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen), and also tells her that Noah was getting some calls from this woman, Sienna Bacall (TamaraBraun). So Nikki takes the info on Sienna, says she’s going to have Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) people check her out. Nick is in tears talking to his mom, saying he doesn’t want to go through a tragedy with another kid. And Nikki tells him that suffering is part of life.
Daniel and Tessa make out until she stops it and then she apologizes and says she was overstepping. Daniel and Tessa both admit they’ve thought about kissing each other. Daniel says that, you know, they’ll wake up tomorrow and they can just forget it happened, but they agree they can’t really forget. And they take a walk to get coffee to talk it through.
Tessa admits she has feelings for Daniel and says that he’s important to her. Tessa calls Daniel her best friend, and he tells Tessa he is falling in love with her, but he’s tearing up about it. And then Tessa says in another timeline she would be falling for Daniel. But Tessa’s not done fighting for her marriage. And Daniel agrees that she should keep fighting for her marriage.
Young and the Restless: Kyle’s Undercover Mission
Thursday, October 23rd on Young and the Restless. We have got Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) trying to find out something about Holden Novak (Nathan Owens). So, Kyle is spying on Holden, looking for dirt, hoping to convince Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) to cut the guy out of her life. But I don’t think it’s going to work out well for Kyle. So, at the hotel restaurant, Holden is talking to Sienna and Kyle is lurking nearby and watching and Claire walks up and asks, “What the heck is Kyle doing?” And he tries to flip it around and says, “Who’s that with Holden and what’s he doing?” And of course, Claire knows exactly who that is.
Also, on Thursday, Sienna meets with Nick. And I’m sure Nick wants to know if Sienna can tell him anything about who would target Noah and how they know each other. If Sienna does know who is after Noah, the question is, will she tell Nick? So, she called his number four times. So, it looks like they are in regular contact and she knew something was wrong.
Maybe she was helping him with his project to buy the club there. We’ll see. Holden may also know Noah because Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) dated both of them and they have an overlap with Sienna. We’ll find out. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) stuns Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). We know that Phyllis wants to get her hands on Cane’s AI program. Maybe she will try and seduce him out of it.
Friday on Y&R: Sally’s Big Risk & New Alliances
Friday, October 24th on Young and the Restless. We’re going to end the week with Sally taking a big risk. She really puts herself out there for Audra. This likely concerns the job offer that Sally gave Audra at AbbottCom. And of course, Sally has had to go begging for investors and talked Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) into it, but she may not want Audra involved. Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) has resigned himself to it, so the push back may come from Jill.
Kyle tries to squeeze information out of Sienna about Holden. I’m sure Kyle is hoping Sienna will give him some dirt, tell him something terrible about Holden, but I can’t imagine Sienna is gonna tell Kyle anything. Damian Kane and Phyllis reach an understanding and it may be about the AI. You know, he may set some parameters.
Next Week on Young and the Restless: November Sweeps Kick Off
The week of October 27th through the 31st on Young the Restless is going to be pretty busy. The last two days of that week, Thursday, October 30th, Friday, October 31st, are the first two days of November sweeps. So hopefully they’re going to be building up to big action. Nick is putting all his effort into finding out who tried to kill Noah and why.
And he is going to be relentless. Hopefully Nick’s going to get some help from Sienna. We also have Roger Howarth’s new character due on the scene. Maybe he’s the bad guy who’s after Noah. You never know. We’ve also heard Sienna mention her boyfriend Mitch. So that could be who Roger Howarth is playing.
Young and the Restless: Danny & Christine’s Wedding and Kyle’s Stubbornness
Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) can’t wait to get married. They are getting married in November sweeps. I can’t imagine that Phyllis is going to be a grownup and stay away from the wedding. I wonder if she’s going to mess with Christine’s dress. Just typical Phyllis stuff.
Holden may offer to help Sharon and Nick get to the bottom of what happened to Noah, which might get him some brownie points with the Newmans and with Claire. It would definitely impress Victor and Nikki. Claire continues to try to get Kyle to go back to Genoa City.
But he doesn’t listen to her and he never does what she asks or respects her boundaries. So, I can’t imagine he’ll go. Tessa and Daniel try to protect their friendship and ignore the sparks they’re both feeling. And Mariah is looking like she may get a lot worse before she gets better. We’ll see if Ian shows up again to haunt her.
