Upcoming Predictions for Young and the Restless

Hey there, Young and the Restless fans. It’s Belynda from Soap Dirt. I’ve got your Young and the Restless predictions for the next week and beyond. I’ve got some predictions about Victor and Sally, about Ashley’s big wedding day.

About how Diane might secretly be targeting Phyllis Summers and more Abbott drama. Plus, some Audra and Kyle speculation. All right, let’s dig into all of this. So my first prediction, and this obviously wouldn’t play out within the next week.

But maybe, you know, by the end of the summer, Ashley’s marriage to Tucker is going to last about five minutes before he cheats. Maybe it’ll be Phyllis Summers, maybe it’d be Audra Charles — could be anyone on Young and the Restless.

Intriguing Speculations for Ashley’s Marriage on Y&R

It could be someone random. It could be that girl in the green dress at the Grand Phoenix. We haven’t seen the Grand Phoenix in a long time. Did they tear that set down? So, a bored Tucker is a cheating Tucker.

And the bottom line is he just wants Ashley Abbott‘s attention — and he wants a lot of it. He’s like a big, emotionally needy, horny toddler who can’t stop touching things or women. Remember that weird stuff where he was like sniffing Audra’s jacket?

He’s so weird. I just love Trevor St. John. And, but you know, Tucker has never been faithful before, and he doesn’t seem like a changed man at all to me. I mean, you know, it’s a different actor other than that same old Tucker in a lot of ways.

Ashley and Tucker’s Relationship Dilemma on Young and the Restless

And I definitely think Ashley is going to wind up getting a big fat case of karma by indulging this whole thing and getting married to him to start with. When she knows better, everybody knows better. She’s got blinders on because she’s being hateful about Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins, and that’s what it’s all about.

And I don’t think it’s going to last very long before Tucker is out doing Tucker things, which is him doing other people.

The Unexpected Twists in Victor and Sally’s Relationship on Young and the Restless

All right. Our second prediction is that Victor Newman is going to wind up liking Sally, even though he doesn’t want to. So, right now, in this coming week, and this is based on an official spoiler, Victor wants Sally under his thumb.

And very visible where he can see her. Probably so he can corral his sons away from her, making sure no one sperminates and impregnates her again. So, he makes this job offer to her.

And the conversation comes when he brings up about how he was trying to invest in her company if she’d leave the baby behind, basically buying her baby. He claims it was a test. She seems to believe what he’s saying on Young and the Restless.

But Nick Newman doesn’t believe a word of this. He’s present for this conversation, and he’s just like, what, what, what? But Sally is just eating it up with two spoons — everything that Victor says.

You know, she didn’t have a great dad. She’s clearly got daddy issues. That’s probably why she was trying to date Jack. Nick’s a lot older than her. Victor, you know, she’s got daddy issues.

Unfolding Dynamics between Sally, Victor, and Nick on Y&R

She wants male approval, and Nick definitely sees that his dad is manipulating Sally — but she doesn’t. He makes this job offer to run Newman Design, but she has to be exclusive to Newman.

She’s got to work out of Newman Tower, and I’m sure she’s going to talk to Nick, and he’s going to say, don’t do it. If she talks to Adam Newman, he’s gonna say, don’t do it. I do think she’s going to do it.

I think she’s going to do it because she really wants Victor to like her. And he’s asked her to do this thing, he’s made this offer. And I do think that if he is up there seeing Sally every day, Victor is going to see her all the time.

He’s going to see how hard-working she is. How bright she is, and I think he’s gonna see how much they have in common, and I think she’s gonna grow on him.

Sally’s Strategic Moves on Young and the Restless

I don’t think in any romantic sort of way. But with some grudging respect, I think he might actually wind up liking her. And he may decide it wouldn’t be the worst thing if she was with one of his sons.

All right, our third prediction that I’m wondering about is whether Diane Jenkins will get to Carson and tank Phyllis’ case. So, on Monday, Phyllis Summers thought she had a lock on her case.

Tucker had found Carson, the EMT, and even though he’s blackmailing her, he says he paid the guy to say what he wants. And what he’s saying right now is that it was self-defense.

Mysterious Disappearance of Carson on Y&R – Diane’s Involvement?

He’s basically lying and saying that he witnessed the altercation between Phyllis Summers and Stark that led to his death. But then, right after Phyllis talked to Heather. And she told him that he is a legit witness.

And that he should probably be in protective custody. She mentioned that Tucker was blackmailing her. Tucker overheard some of this.

Remember, he was lurking around behind some foliage in the GCAC lounge. Carson is the key to her freedom. And then, all of a sudden, Phyllis Summers finds out that the guy is gone, and she’s in a panic.

Tucker’s Machinations and Diane’s Possible Involvement on Young and the Restless

So Tucker took the guy off the chessboard because he did, in fact, overhear what Phyllis was saying to Heather. Red confronted Tucker, demanding to know where Carson is.

Tucker assured her that he’s somewhere safe. But he’s angry that Phyllis Summers betrayed him, and now he wants her to do something to earn his trust back.

However, I think it’d be really great if it wasn’t just Tucker McCall, and it was also Diane Jenkins messing with Red. Because the other day, Diane ran into Phyllis at the GCAC while Tucker was sitting there.

She was very nice to Phyllis’ face saying, Oh, I know, I know that Stark victimized us both. Tucker got really mad that they were actually playing nice and being civil to each other.

So I think it would be really interesting if Diane Jenkins was being nice to Phyllis’s face and plotting behind her back. I hoped she would be the one who paid Carson to disappear because she wants Phyllis to spend some time in jail.

Just like Phyllis wanted Diane Jenkins to spend time in jail. My fervent wish is that Diane is scheming against Phyllis because she does tell Jack next week, I have a plan. So, while Diane did not make Carson disappear, she still may have some tricks up her sleeve to get revenge on Phyllis.

Tensions and Confrontations among the Abbotts on Y&R

All right. Our fourth prediction is that all the other Abbotts are going to confront Jack and Ashley and demand that they just freaking chill. Jack and Ashley are ripping the family apart on Young and the Restless.

Ashley’s trying to ruin Jabot under the excuse that Jack’s already ruined it by letting Diane Jenkins work there. I mean, come on. Jack wouldn’t let Diane resign when she offered to.

And he, you know, he wants to shove Diane and Ashley’s face. She’s trying to shove Tucker and Jack’s face. They’re being juvenile, dramatic, and very extra. And the rest of the family is sick and tired of it.

I mean, things are bad when Billy Abbott is the voice of reason. So will Billy and Traci and Abby and Kyle all confront Jack and Ashley? And say, look, y’all need to make peace. Or we are going to go to the board and tell them to remove you both.

Young and the Restless Predictions and Speculations: Are they Spoilers?

And we are going to pack you both out of the mansion and your partners. Y’all need to fix this crap, or you’re going to be in an Abbott family timeout. I think that would be great if the rest of the Abbotts go completely scorched earth against Jack and Ashley.

It would force them to play nice like brothers and sisters should. So I think this will be fun. I don’t know if it’s going to go that way. Of course, as a reminder, these are predictions, not spoilers.

While I do base these on spoilers that we that we know about that we’ve reported, these are predictions. I’m trying to be clear. There are some people coming in the comments that spoilers not true.

Not a spoiler. I tell you what’s the spoiler, and I’m very clear because I’m not going to mislead the fans — I’m not going to do it. I want everybody to know what’s happening.

Troubles Brewing for Kyle in the world of Y&R

All right. Our fifth and final prediction is that Audra is going to trap Kyle Abbott — maybe. All right, let’s talk about Audra and Kyle. Right now, Kyle’s very mad at Summer. He’s rebounding with Audra for this hot revenge sex thing. But things eventually are going to cool off, right?

Y&R | CBS

And Kyle might regret calling off his marriage. But he may be in so deep with Audra by then that it’s hard to get loose. Next week Summer tries to warn him about Audra and probably reminds him of what she did to her brother Noah.

Kyle, I don’t think he’s gonna listen, but once the new car smell wears off of this thing with Audra and his anger at Summer chills out, he may want out of this thing. But by then, Audra’s in his bed.

Plus, she gave him a job, and if she senses him waffling or having second thoughts, you know, what, what could she do to trap him? Could she fake pregnancy? Could she get pregnant for real? There is no telling what that woman would do, right?
