Headed to Vegas

Let’s start off with Sharon, who will end up going to Las Vegas. In light of Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow), someone has to tell Sharon what’s going on.

That might end up being Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) if he wants to cause agony for the Newman’s loved ones.

Of course, it might also be Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) who contacts Sharon. 

Rude Awakening

Over in captivity, Nick will wake up to an unexpected co-hostage. It will be Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).

While Nick will probably be too drugged to really think of a plan, Adam could end up saving the day. 

New Beginning Celebration

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, April 17 reveal that in Genoa City, there will be a celebration.

Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) has accepted Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) offer.

Lauren knows it’s risky, but she also loves a challenge. Lauren might also reason that she can stop Phyllis from going totally off the rails.

In any case, Lauren and Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) will celebrate a new beginning.

Jack Abbott’s Dinner

As for Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), he will have dinner with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

The two will bond over Victor’s damage as well as Diane’s bitterness. Diane will spy on the two, and probably assume more is going on.

It is teased that Diane and Victor will end up working together to strike back at Jack.

However, if Diane ever truly loved Jack, she won’t want to see him hurt.

So, she might end up pulling the reins before Victor can go too far. Well, at least, that is what I hope!

Baby News

Over with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope), she just found out she is pregnant.

The redhead will have to share the news with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). This will be an unexpected curveball for Billy.

While he will support whatever Sally wants to do, her father could get mentioned again.

Sally won’t want her child having the same kind of father she did. So, that could bring up some boundaries and tough discussions.
