The Young and the Restless spoilers are in for Monday, December 22, 2025! In the next episode, fans can expect Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to fight about Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) worries about Claire Grace Newman’s (Hayley Erin) bad connection. Plus, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) share common ground.

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!)

Nikki Newman’s Loyalty

Let’s start off with Nikki, who has blown up at Victor over his attack on Jack. When Jabot went offline, it prevented Victor from attacking them with the AI program.

However, that just led to Victor using Newman Media to make it even harder for Jabot to come back after this.

Nikki couldn’t believe her husband did this. The woman is well-aware of who Victor is and his feelings toward Jack.

At the same time, Nikki is horrified that Victor pulled this so close to the holidays, affecting not just Jack but thousands of innocent employees and their families.

Victor Newman’s Rage

When Nikki threatened to leave Victor if he didn’t make this right, he didn’t bow down. Despite how much he loves Nikki, he refuses to give in. In fact, he got sick of Nikki defending Jack and told her to get out!

It is rather ridiculous and Nikki is right, Jack saved her that night. If he hadn’t shown up, Nikki might have died.

Billy Abbott’s Common Ground

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the next episode reveal that Billy and Kyle have never seen eye-to-eye. However, they do find common ground in what they think should happen next.

Defeating Victor’s attack won’t be easy now with the scandalous articles, but Billy and Kyle do find common ground.

It’s good that they are uniting instead of pointing fingers at each other. Standing united will make it easier to prevent any future attacks.

Claire Grace Newman’s Bad Connection

Aside from the business drama, fans will also see Victoria worry about her daughter. Even though Claire is just friends with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), Victoria worries about the bad connection.

After all, Holden is sharing a secret with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver, so Claire needs to be careful. It is easy to see the feud between Audra and Claire lasting decades, much like Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) lifelong beef with Christine “Cricket” Blair (Lauralee Bell), so stay tuned!
