By Amandah HancenOn Jan 15, 2026

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of January 19 suggest some twists! Fans can expect Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton James) to have a scary story coming up. Plus, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) makes a vengeful alliance. Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Cane Ashby Celebrates

Let’s start off with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). The pair managed to use the AI program against its own host, Victor.

Now Cane and Phyllis have control of Newman Enterprises. The redhead has already gloated about it to Victor.

However, they are mistaken if they think Victor is just going to accept defeat. Meanwhile, Cane will give Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) a victory of his own.

Phyllis Summers’ Aftermath

As for Phyllis, she just won’t stop gloating. The woman wanted power and control. Now the redhead thinks she finally has it. However, it could come at the cost of the people she claims to care about so much.

For one thing, Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) isn’t going to want the company after it was ripped away from her own grandparents. This could also further deteriorate Phyllis’ dynamic with Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Grazaidei).

Phyllis’ actions interrupted a chance for the Newman family to get rid of psychopath Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). You know, Phyllis always does things not realizing there are other cogs in place. This lady just never learns.

Billy Abbott’s Relationship Crumbles

The Young and the Restless spoilers for next week reveal that the closer Billy can get to payback, the worse his romance could get.

Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) has been worried about Billy’s endless quest for revenge for a while now. At some point, Sally might have to save her own sanity by walking away.

Mariah Copeland’s Crime

Fans have already predicted that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is going to kidnap Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor (last played by River and Rainn Ware).

Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) will have a new reason to freak out as will Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). There could be a frantic search for the little boy. However, Mariah is listening to the voice of supervillain Ian Ward (Ray Wise). It sounds like “Ian” is trying to get Mariah to repeat history.

However, Abby and Devon aren’t going to stop until they find their son. Remember, Abby didn’t give up on finding Chance Chancellor (last played by Conner Floyd), so she definitely won’t give up on her son, either.
