3 Explosive ‘Y&R’ Must-See Moments the Week of August 18

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that there are three must-see moments for the week of August 18, 2025.

Fans can expect Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) to confront Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) gets paranoid with Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Grazaidei).

Plus, Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) has a secret admirer. Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Nate Hastings Suspects

Let’s start off with Nate, who suspects that Audra is hiding something from him. The former doctor knows it has something to do with Nice and her sudden 180 on La Bronte.

Of course, if she tells him that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) pulled the funding, then Nate would want to confront him. If that happens, then Victor could blast the truth about Audra’s responsibilities in Nice.

Audra Charles’ Forced Confession

At some point during the week of August 18, Nate will keep pushing and force a confession out of Audra. This could come at a cost to Audra.

Nate has been the best relationship she has ever had, and now it’s likely going to be ruined. There is also Claire, who intends on telling Nate about Audra’s true colors.

Holden Novak Paranoid

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Holden is secretly working for Cane. However, Holden just learned from Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) about Damian Kane’s (Jermaine Rivers) death. So, he could be questioning his alliance with Cane.

While sitting having a drink, Holden and Daniel start chatting. Then, Holden suddenly gets really paranoid. The man accuses Daniel of digging for dirt on him for Cane!

Claire Grace Newman’s Secret Admirer

Speaking of Holden, he will have trouble stuffing his feelings for Claire down. It seems he has a bit of a crush on her. Of course, he was also ordered by Cane to make a connection, but he actually did that before getting the list of names.

Holden was there for Claire when she had a panic attack, and then again when Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) died.

However, the man also seemed obsessed with Audra when he first came back. The two had a romance, but it was years ago.

Holden seemed to have a hard time letting go, so I worry that he could get possessive with Claire if they become a couple. So, we will have to stay tuned to find out!
