Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) is smitten with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). Plus, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) updates Devon Winters (Bryton James). Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.
Tessa Porter’s New Side
Let’s start off with Tessa and Daniel. Fans just watched as the man confessed to Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). While Danny didn’t seem too surprised, Daniel doesn’t want to make the wrong move, either.
Tessa shows him a new side this week. So, I wonder if that means she’s ready to move on from Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes)?
Devon Winters’ Discovery
Over with Nate, the former doctor is starting to wonder if Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is keeping a secret.
Then, midweek, Audra blames Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). Around that same time, Nate shares some updates with Devon. By Friday, Nate pushes his girlfriend to tell the whole truth.
Nikki Newman’s Solution
The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of August 18 reveal that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) wants peace and unity in her family.
It’s killing her that Claire is at odds with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). So, Nikki will try to create peace between her two loved ones.
Meanwhile, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) shares some words of wisdom with his son. Elsewhere, Victor makes a jaw-dropping decision.
As for Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), she reaches a stalemate with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) reach a stalemate.
Week of August 18, 2025
Fans will also see Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters) haul Jack away for some time off. It is also written to expect Holden to struggle with his feelings for Claire. It sounds like the soap is already setting up Claire’s next move interest!
However, I do wonder how this will tie into Cane giving him that list of connections, one of which was Claire.
Also, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) has a confrontation with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan). It seems like Victor will finally have that hit piece on Billy published.
As for Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), fans can expect her to give some advice to Cane. Could her big mouth cause her to lose her only opportunity?
