Reflecting On The Past

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, April 9, note that Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) and Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) will reflect on their complicated history.

Stephanie just dropped a bomb on Malcolm, that he has a son, and it sounds like the two will talk about their past romance.

Will there be video flashbacks about their relationship to bring newer viewers up to speed?

Now that Lily has been ruled out as a donor, the only silver lining in all this is that Holden might be the key to saving Malcolm’s life.

Claire Newman Is Drawn To Holden Novak

Meanwhile, Claire will see a new side to Holden.

While she nixed any idea of sharing a future with him, if she witnesses a more vulnerable side to the man, could she change her mind?

Holden’s world just got completely flipped upside down when his mom, Stephanie, told him the only dad he ever knew wasn’t really his biological father.

Within moments, he found out Malcolm was his bio dad, met him, and then learned that Lily is his half-sister!

Can Holden lean on Claire during this time?

Will she see a softer side to Holden and reconsider a romance with him?

Lily Winters Turns To A Friend

Elsewhere, The Young and the Restless spoilers for April 9 note that Lily will turn to Traci for guidance.

While Lily has no clue about Holden being Malcolm’s son, she’s dealing with a lot, too.

She just found out about Malcolm’s need for a bone marrow donor and thought she could help; however, within hours, the second hammer dropped when he called back to tell her she couldn’t.

Lily had cancer years ago, and due to chemotherapy, she is not a viable donor. Traci is a mother figure to Lily; someone she can lean on.

Will the woman provide some words of wisdom as Lily struggles to process all the information she’s been given?
