Is Mariah simply suffering from PTSD, or are her concerns valid?

In a Young & Restless preview for the week of September 13 – 17, it appears many in Genoa City were right to be wary of Ashland. Read on for the details and watch the teaser video.

After the information about Ashland’s involvement with an older woman who helped him get his start in the business came to light, Billy remained certain there was more dirt to be found on the media mogul and how he really made his initial fortune. And after a confrontation between Billy and Victoria, Billy suspected his ex also knew Ashland was hiding something. However, Ashland assured Victoria there was nothing to worry about and he’s never broken any laws.

In the latest promo, it appears Ashland is hiding something and Victoria confronts her husband-to-be about the secret he had hoped she’d never need to know about. What could he be hiding? Does it have something to do with the fact that Billy discovered that Ashland Locke doesn’t seem to exist as there are no records of the guy, or his past, anywhere to be found?

More: This new Y&R casting could expose Ashland

Mariah has been on guard and terrified since her rescue, fearing Stitch could return at any moment. After all, he was able to slip away in all the chaos of Mariah going into labor. She’s also had a hard time parting with Dominic, who she bonded with while they were held captive. It looks like Mariah is on the verge of a breakdown and she confides in Tessa that she’s still afraid Stitch could come back. Are her fears unfounded, or should she and others be worried?

Finally, Jack and Phyllis have been turning to one another a lot lately, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Nick gets frank with Jack and asks if he and Phyllis are a good fit in his opinion. Talk about awkward, especially after Jack recently confessed to Phyllis how lonely he’s been and that he never stopped loving her!

Let us know in the comments what you think Jack’s answer to Nick will be, and what Ashland is hiding.

Jill, Katherine, Malcolm, Neil, Lily, Hilary Y&R

7/21

Another legendary soap opera rivalry, Katherine hated Jill the manicurist from the moment she set her sights on her husband, Phillip. The women went on to battle over other men and family members, with memorable catfights including the one in the Chancellor Estate’s attic and the cake fight pictured. The pair, who believed they were mother and daughter for a time, bickered until their long-standing love-hate relationship seemed to end with Katherine’s death, which devastated Jil. But of course, Katherine found a way to continue aggravating Jill from beyond the grave by leaving her a mystery to solve.

8/21

Perhaps the best-known rivalry on soaps is that of Victor and Jack who loathed one another completely and often went to extraordinary lengths to prove it. While the twosome have mellowed toward one another, and there’s a grudging respect between them, their past clashes were ones for the ages, and included Jack conspiring to frame Victor for murder, and Victor having Jack taken captive and swapping him out with a doppelganger. They’ve saved each other’s lives, but they’ve also considered leaving each other for dead — seriously!

9/21

Another rivalry for the Young and Restless history books is that of Sharon and Phyllis. The two women hated each other from the time that Phyllis moved in on Nick when he and Sharon were grieving the loss of Cassie. Nick went back and forth between the women for eons, which only exacerbated the situation between them. While Sharon and Phyllis tolerate each other now, their history involves catfights, DNA swaps, and a fall down the stairs that landed Phyllis in a coma.

11/21

When Nick fell for Sharon, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, his mother Nikki decided she wasn’t good enough for her son, and that, as they say, was that. Nikki meddled in Sharon and Nick’s affairs as soap mothers are wont to do, and <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/gallery/photos-nikki-sharon-yr-rivalry/" target="_blank">the pair had numerous catfights</a> — by the pool and in the stables. Sharon married Nikki’s husband Victor and burned down their ranch during a particularly dark period. Fond of reminding Nikki of her days on the stripper pole, Sharon and La Newman’s relationship became warmer when Sharon faced breast cancer. Nikki even recently admitted she preferred Sharon to Phyllis.

14/21

Sharon never had a rival for Adam’s affections until Chelsea showed up in Genoa City and bonded with the Newman over being town pariahs. Sharon and Chelsea have gone head-to-head a few times over Adam, and Chelsea once knocked Sharon out cold as she skipped town. The two recently went another round when Adam enlisted Sharon’s help trying to motivate a paralysed Chelsea to start talking again. Chelsea learned Sharon and Adam had shared a kiss and blamed the blonde when she ended up in a mental facility after trying to frame Adam for poisoning Sharon’s husband Rey.

15/21

Billy and Cane became rivals when Chloe duped Cane into believing he was the father of her child, when it was actually Billy. Billy was also protective when it came to the Aussie romancing Lily, and the two were never able to get along even when it was thought that they were half-brothers. In fact, they ended up in physical confrontations a few times. They went on to rub each other the wrong way whilst working together on Brash & Sassy and it was Billy who put the final nail in the coffin of Cane’s marriage to Lily by telling her he had kissed Victoria.

16/21

Lily couldn’t stand Hilary, who blew into town seeking revenge on her father, Neil, for his role in her mother Rose’s death, and drugged her husband, Cane. Lily’s loathing only intensified as Hilary got involved with Neil, and then Devon. Hilary and Devon having an affair behind Neil’s back after he went blind, didn’t help matters. Lily infamously threw water on Hilary more than once. Despite Devon’s best efforts, Lily and Hilary never got on the same page, and they were arguing when Lily ran a red light. The car was hit by a truck and Hilary and her unborn child died afterward.

18/21

Billy’s loathing for Adam stems from the tragic hit-and-run accident that killed Billy’s daughter Delia. Billy had left Delia in the car with her puppy, which she chased across the road in the dark. Adam hit the child but thought he hit the dog. Unable to see it, he carried on, only to realize he hit Delia later. Adam covered it up so his son Connor would receive Delia’s cornea in a transplant. When it all came out, Billy held Adam at gunpoint. Though Billy once said he forgave Adam, it’s not the case, and the two have become enemies as the friction has gone out of control, spilling into all aspects of their lives.

21/21

When Diane showed up in town with Jack’s child while he was married to Phyllis, it was never going to end well. Diane moved into the pool house, which soon went up in flames, nearly killing her. It turned out Diane had set the fire to frame Phyllis for arson and get her out of the way. The pair clashed repeatedly, including physically, and Phyllis ended up being a suspect in Diane’s murder when she was “killed.” When Diane returned to town years later very much alive, the rivalry was reignited and the pair marked Genoa City’s Bicentennial by engaging in a catfight for old times’ sake!
