Programming Note

Before getting to the spoilers, please note that there are preemptions for Thursday, March 19, and Friday, March 20. The next new episode won’t be until Monday, March 23.

Character Returns

Let’s start off with a returning character. It turns out that Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is connected to someone from Adam’s past. Adam goes to Las Vegas to question an old contact from his Spider days, Riza.

Adam was confident that he could use their past to get Riza to talk. However, the minute that Adam walks in, Riza points a gun at him. Even after realizing it’s Adam, she continues to point the gun, demanding his hands over his head.

One Man’s Danger

Adam walked into Riza’s place expecting to reunite with an old friend, not having to fight for his life. Of course, Adam is a smooth talker when necessary, so he will likely lower Riza’s defenses.

However, I worry how deeply she is tangled up with Matt. Adam isn’t the same man as he was all those years ago, and Riza might not be the same woman.

Lawyer’s Complication

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, March 23 reveal that Christine will turn to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) for help.

The lawyer says she wanted to meet with Sharon alone to ask for her help. It seems there could be another problem with Mariah Copeland’s (Camryn Grimes) case.

Christine might suggest that it could be better for Mariah to just plead guilty. With her in therapy right now, Christine could get the redhead sentenced to mental health treatment.

However, that doesn’t erase the pain that she caused Dominic Newman-Abbott-Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) and his parents. Even if she didn’t harm Dominic, he’s having bad dreams.

Suspect’s Fate

With Mariah’s trial quickly coming up, Sharon and Christine will do what they can to help the young woman. However, is there any coming back from kidnapping Dominic?

Will the old Mariah ever come back? There is also how Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton James) will react to Mariah’s sentence. Will they feel it is enough to keep Dom safe?

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