Nick Newman’s Addiction

Let’s start off with Nick, who has run out of pain pills. Then, the man noticed that he still had the bag of fentanyl pills in his pocket from the Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) situation.

Nick took one of the fentanyl pills and came back to talk to Noah and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). 

Sharon immediately noticed that Nick was speaking differently. Even though she asked if he was okay, Nick lied and said he found another pain pill in his pocket. He wasn’t talking about the ones from the doctor, though.

Victoria Newman Frets

While Nick tries to get his growing addiction under control, Victoria will notice something is wrong with her brother.

Not too long ago, Victoria warned Nick to take it easy on the pain pills. The man assured his sister he had it all under control.

For the most part, Nick is playing it cool in front of others. Privately, the man is really struggling and suffering, though.

If Victoria tries to help Nick, he might lash out at her. So, Nick could continue to hide his addiction for a while. That is what is really scary because by the time everyone figures it out, Nick could be too far gone.

Noah Newman Reconnects

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, February 23 reveal that Noah will reconnect with a woman from his past.

We aren’t talking about Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun), but Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver).

Audra has been trying really hard to move on from her past sins. At the same time, Noah and Audra actually remember their good times. So, Noah could give her some much-needed support. 

Different Sides of War

Finally, there are two women who are on different sides of a war. This is Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan).

I wonder if Chelsea could be the one to finally reach Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). When Chelsea lost it all, it was Billy who saved her. So, I wonder if she will return the favor since Billy is on self-destruct mode.

Which storyline are you looking forward to seeing the most on Monday, February 23, 2026?
