The Young and the Restless spoilers are in for Friday, January 23, 2026. Fans can expect the new Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) to appear.

Meanwhile, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is putting a sick, cruel scheme in motion. Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY Y&R spoilers, here!)

Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor Grows Up

Let’s start off with Dominic. For a while, fans saw the little boy played by Rainn and River Ware. However, expect to see a new Dominic who is a little older. This time, the boy will be played by the handsome, young actor Ethan Ray Clark.

It seems that fans will see Dominic enjoy some family time at the park before the big kidnapping takes place.

Abby Winters’ Family Time

Dominic will be at the park with Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton Winters). While they will have a nice time together, it’s just the calm before the storm.

Maybe Dominic disappears while at the part. It would be easy for the parents to get distracted, even if it’s just for a moment. Unfortunately, that’s all it takes for a child to suddenly vanish.

Mariah Copeland’s Sinful Scheme

The Young and the Restless spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that we could see Mariah lurking around the park.

The redhead is seeing visions of Ian Ward (Ray Wise), who keeps pushing her to some kind of plan. Whenever Ian is involved, it can’t be anything good.

Mariah already pushed away Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Aria Porter-Copeland (Milllie and Maddie Ingle). However, now the woman keeps talking and being reminded of carrying Dominic.

Recognition & Trust

Of course, Dominic will recognize Mariah and won’t think of her as a stranger. So, when there is no struggle and no screaming, Abby and Devon might think he just got lost at the park. However, when they still can’t find him, panic will ensue.

Tessa Porter Moves On

Pretty quickly, everyone will fear that Dominic has been kidnapped. However, it might take weeks before they realize Mariah is involved.

Meanwhile, Tessa will continue moving on with Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Graziadei). However, when she finds out that Mariah has kidnapped Dominic, Tessa might be the only one who can reason with the redhead.

However, by the time that happens, Tessa might already be in love with Daniel. That could set up an interesting dilemma for the singer, so stay tuned.
