Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Tries To End Adam – Chloe Becomes Victim In Epic Twist

By Sean O'Brien

Young And The Restless Spoilers: Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) - Adam Newman (Mark Grossman)The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) morph into a vigilante could have led to potentially tragic results. His attempt to purposely hit Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) at the same spot where Delia Abbott (Sophie Pollono) was accidentally killed yielded dramatic and unexpected results.

Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) pushed Adam out of the way. Yes, one of Y&R’s most notorious arcs was being revisited, with an epic twist.

Savvy soap fans knew that they were being driven back to the past as all of the major players in the Delia Dies storyline agreed to return. Recasting Grossman as Adam, along with Hendrickson’s return to the show as Chloe, allowed those principals to join Thompson in what has been bubbling late this summer. The presence of also-returned cast members, Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher) and Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Boudreau) enhance atmospherics within this particular part of the tale.

Billy was triggered by Adam’s return from the dead and to Genoa City, Wisconsin. Chloe was as well, which led to her missed shot at the tack house. Yes, Adam was impacted, but he survived, which wasn’t her intent.

Employing an eerie premise, Y&R later began showing Billy as hearing Delia’s voice. Viewers didn’t initially know if an otherworldly storyline was unfolding, if someone was trying to spook him, or if his mind was breaking. The final option was revealed as real this week.

Thompson’s turn into a vigilante is terrific, as the burn has been slow and tortuous. Close-up shots of Billy’s face, the inclusion of odd ticks, like gum-chewing, combined with his awakening at unusual locations are compelling.

Billy’s tell to Chloe at the Chancellor mansion establishes the crescendo. He advises Delia’s other surviving parent that he now knows how to handle Adam. She’s frightened for him, based on her own labored experience.

Then, Adam received the text from an unknown source, strikingly summoning him to the sight of his deepest horror. Car lights were seen and Adam took Delia’s October 2013 position, until Chloe played the ironic hero. This setup was terrific, as it allowed the tortured trio, Billy, Chloe, and Adam, to wring the past out of them. Current consequences are applied, but nothing will be the same moving forward.

Y&R’s challenge in tapping this well-known part of its history lies in staying true to all that happened, while also presenting fresh outlets to its characters and the observing audience. The task is tall, but is off to an engaging start.
