The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, October 22, suggest Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) will make a difficult decision, while Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) seems to have a new outlook on life.
Plus, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is outraged. Read on to learn more about Thursday’s show.
Key Takeaways
- Billy faces a difficult choice between Sally and Jill.
- Adam’s experience delivering Ruby changes his outlook.
- Chelsea notices a different side of Adam.
- Victor demands answers from Nick.
- Nikki reconsiders her feelings about a rival.
Billy Abbott’s Hard Choice
The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, October 22, imply that Billy will face a difficult decision.
With Ruby Abbott’s arrival, he’ll struggle with the idea of going to visit his mom in London.
Jill Abbott (most recently played by Lauren Koslow) suffered cardiac arrest and needs life-saving surgery, so Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Billy decided to visit her in case they were running out of time.
Unbeknownst to Billy, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) went into labor, and the last thing Billy wants to do is leave her and their baby.
Now he’s caught between a rock and a hard place.
As previously reported, Billy’s heartbreaking choice over Jill’s health crisis could become the first major test of his new marriage.
Additional teasers reveal that Billy will make a promise to Sally, so it sounds like, with her support, he’ll head to London but vow to dive into “daddy duty” upon his return.
Still, will Sally be okay on her own with a newborn?
The Abbotts, as well as her family in town and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), will likely step in to help, so Sally and Ruby should be well taken care of.
A New Side To Adam Newman
Across town, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) will see a new side to Adam.
While Adam has already delivered a baby or two over the years, the experience with Sally was different.
After all, the two lost Ava Newman some years ago, so delivering Ruby was highly emotional for Adam.
In fact, Adam stepping up during Sally’s unexpected labor may have stirred up some painful memories of their own loss.
Will grief over his daughter resurface? How much will this experience change him?
The Moustache Is Outraged
Over at the Newman Ranch, The Young and the Restless spoilers for October 22 reveal that Victor will grill Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).
Is this about Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) being committed to a psychiatric facility?
Will Victor be upset that he wasn’t informed before Nick and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) took action?
With Nick already facing the possibility of arrest, Victor certainly has plenty of reasons to worry about his son.
Finally, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will change her stance on a rival.
Is this about Diane Abbott (Susan Walters), or could it be about Jill?
Nikki and Jill haven’t exactly been best friends over the years, so hearing that Jill is fighting for her life might soften Nikki’s heart.
Annemarie’s Take
Poor Billy! He should be enjoying his first days with Sally and Ruby, but instead, he’s facing the possibility of losing his mother. I think Sally will understand why he needs to go to London, even if the timing couldn’t be worse.
I’m also curious about Adam. Delivering Sally’s baby must have brought back some painful memories of Ava. Hopefully, Chelsea won’t end up getting hurt if Adam starts revisiting his feelings for Sally.
And Victor? I wouldn’t want to be Nick when his father starts demanding answers!
Do you think Billy should leave Sally and Ruby to be with Jill, and could Adam’s experience with Sally’s baby threaten his relationship with Chelsea?
