The Young and the Restless
Chance and Abby approach the new year with a surprise from an old friend, Lauren may want to hit the bubbly well before the 31st, Chloe and Kevin make a resolution that they intend to keep (don’t we all!), and Billy and Lily take a step that just might ensure that their 2022 is as big a hot mess as their 2021 was.
Friday, December 24:
Nick’s loved ones send him a special message at Christmas, Cassie pays Nick a visit, and he makes New Year’s plans with Summer.
Sounds like a standalone episode to us! Nick’s family and friends help him make a list and check it twice. Will Phyllis’ ex, who has been out of sorts for months, finally realize what’s important and get back on track as he heads into the new year? Maybe a look back at what he’s overcome in the past will help him chart a course for the future.
Is
Yellowstone’s Kayce headed for the ultimate heartache – and a
whole new life?
Week of December 27:
Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics include Billy playing a dangerous game, missed beats for Teriah, Devon’s custody move, not-so-jolly Saint Nick, plus, what worked and what didn’t in 2021!
Victoria learns what Billy’s up to, and Devon drops a bomb on Abby and Chance.
Monday, December 27:
When Adam and Chance settle unfinished business, we have a sneaking suspicion that it’s just going to open up a whole new can of worms. After all, does unfinished business ever really get finished in Genoa City?
Ooo, that Dynasty-caliber rivalry that Melissa Claire Egan recently teased appears to be kicking into high gear as Chelsea sends a message to Sally. ’Cause you just know that message ain’t “Help yourself to gingerbread cookies and Adam.”
We’re going to go out on a limb here and guess that when Nate helps Devon with a tough decision, it has to do with Abby and Chance. In fact, we’d even bet you our membership to the GCAC that it does. How can we be so sure? Answer in 3, 2…
Tuesday, December 28:
Devon surprises Abby and Chance. See? That’s why we were so sure. Question is, does Devon surprise the couple in a good way — as in, tricycles for all — or a bad one — as in, he’s decided that he wants custody of Baby Dominic?
Uh-oh. Something dicey must be afoot if Lauren sees no recourse but to take matters into her own hands. On the flip side, matters couldn’t be in better hands than the redheaded dynamo’s.
Billy, still under the impression that he can ever one-up Victor, has been scheming like he was on a deadline lately, putting on an Oscar-worthy performance as a guy who’s so down, he’ll never get up. But one person sees through this charade: Victoria, who isn’t shy about calling her ex’s bluff.
Wednesday, December 29:
When Victor and Nikki receive unexpected news from Ashland, it could be anything. Is their new son-in-law planning to give them another grandchild with Victoria? Has his prognosis gone once again from hopeful to hopeless? Has the Black Knight made him wish he had a cooler nickname than the Locke Ness Monster?
We think of Lily as being pretty levelheaded, so we have to suspect that her judgment is being clouded by love when she and Billy make a dangerous deal.
If Mariah and Tessa are sharing news with Sharon — and they are — it can only be about their decision regarding adding a new branch to the family tree. Hey, maybe a baby will wind up being named Bowie after all!
Thursday, December 30:
Take a deep breath, Chelsea, and just go for it. Since she’s making a confession to Adam, it’s gotta be that, despite almost marrying his brother and framing him for attempted murder, he is now and ever shall be The One for her.
What with the heartache of her split from Devon and the bumpy path she’s walked with Nate, Elena looks forward to a fresh start. Will the fates allow her to have it, though?
This oughta be good: Kevin and Chloe make a New Year’s resolution. Could it be to go a whole 12 months without one or both of them making a splash in hot water?
Friday, December 31:
Young & Restless will be pre-empted for CBS Sports coverage of the Sun Bowl.

Week of December 27:
Days Soapbox: Will anyone even notice when MarDevil is gone? Plus, happily saying goodbye to Philip — for now — while pondering what’s next for his kidnapping brother.
Monday, December 27:
Pretty sure that when EJ imagined how he’d be spending Christmas, the last thing he anticipated was that he’d be behind bars. Yet that’s exactly the situation as he sits in lock-up, charged with having kidnapped Sami! (Ironically, it seems EJ is being held responsible for the one crime he hasn’t committed in recent years!)
While the rest of us are contemplating getting some exercise, John’s kicking off his latest exorcise routine by attempting to drive the devil out of Marlena!
How will Tripp and Allie react when they find out that Chanel and Johnny ran off and got married? (Something tells us Tripp will be a lot happier to hear this than will his girlfriend!)

It looks like Marlena’s family has had about as much of the devil’s antics as they’re going to take. Look for John, Brady, Belle, Sami, Eric, Allie and Johnny to come together for sort of the ultimate intervention as they try to use the power of their love to drive the demon out of Marlena.
