Some of our favorites reflect on the past, while others contemplate the future in Soaps.com’s latest The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, August 8, through Friday, August 12. Looking backwards are on-again/off-again marrieds Nick and Sharon. Looking forward, Elena and Adam, the former wondering what’s really going on with Nate and Imani, and the latter considering an offer out of left field. Meanwhile, Victor is trying to keep the hot seat in which the Newmans have landed from getting any hotter. And if you keep reading, we’ll go over all the details of these spoilers and more.

Young & Restless spoilers week of August 8:

Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics: Chance tanks his marriage to solve Ashland’s death, Devon and Elena cheat again? Plus, Nick/Sally, Adam’s new job, Trevor St. John’s character and more.

Young & Restless spoilers for Monday, August 8:

In Monday’s recap, Traci questions Jack, Phyllis’ plan to sabotage Diane comes together, and Chance confronts Victor after a visit to Nick and Victoria.

This could really be a full-time job for Victor! Once again, he’s called upon to mount a defense of the embattled Newman family.

When Phyllis protects her interests, will those “interests” be the Grand Phoenix… or Jack? We can only imagine the lengths that she’d go to in order to protect either one! Speaking of Jack…

Traci, always the smartest person in the room — no matter the room! — questions her big brother’s feelings for Diane. Leave it to Jack to be the last to realize he’s not as over her as he’d like to believe!

Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla) pays tribute to an icon — plus, the scene during which “my mother just about passed out.”

Young & Restless spoilers for Tuesday, August 9:

In Tuesday’s recap, Nikki learns the truth, Chance puts Victor on notice, and Jack makes Adam an intriguing offer.

Wow! Young & Restless alum Alyvia Alyn Lind is all grown up in new pics from a “magical” milestone night.

Chance, Chance, Chance. Never play poker — even metaphorical poker — with the Mustache. When Victor calls the detective’s bluff, will he reveal that he has a winning hand after all?

They say that when one door closes, another opens — and that’s certainly true for Adam, who receives an offer that is most unexpected. (Find out what it is, from whom it comes and how much it’s going to infuriate his father here.)

This could take a while when Nick and Sharon start to commiserate about their past. You can revisit some highlights — and lowlights — in our ‘Shick’ photo gallery.

Young & Restless spoilers for Wednesday, August 10:

In Wednesday’s recap, Billy gives Phyllis a heads-up, Elena questions Devon, Phyllis puts Nikki in her place, and Summer warns Diane.

With Ashland’s demise a hot topic that’s not cooling off anytime soon, Nikki plays detective, testing the loyalty of stepdaughter Abby, aka the wife of the investigating offer.

Hmm. Elena gives Devon a warning. Perhaps about what a conniving would-be man-stealer Imani is?

As expressive as she is, Phyllis doesn’t have much of a poker face. Today, though, she pulls it together to play her cards close to the vest.

Joshua Morrow (Nick) shares the real-life development that inspired his return to social media.

Fans rejoice! A much-missed Grey’s Anatomy vet finds “the way home” to our screens in a new multigenerational drama.

Young & Restless spoilers for Thursday, August 11:

In Thursday’s recap, Adam makes Chance an offer, Victor calls a meeting, and Abby grills her husband.

When Victor talks, people listen. Well, unless it’s his family, then the odds are 50/50. Anyway, he’ll probably get his point across when, due to the predicament they’re in, he orders his nearest and dearest to put up a united front.

Victoria, rebel that she is, breaks from the ranks to put pressure on Chance. Will she regret going too far… or will it turn out that she’s gone just far enough?

Get your shades ready, because bright sparks are guaranteed to fly when Sally plays hardball with Adam. Wonder if it’ll wind up being as much fun as the, ahem, pickleball games that Eric and Donna played on Bold & Beautiful.

First loves rarely last. Does that mean that Heartstopper’s Nick and Charlie will break up in Season 2 of the Netflix romance. Find out all we know about the upcoming episodes here.

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, August 12:

We saw this one coming a mile away! Now that Chelsea’s working so closely with Billy, she puts him in an uncomfortable position. And if it’s uncomfortable for him, how much worse will it be for Lily?

Elena and Nate’s whole relationship may be on the line when she confronts her beau about the heat-seeking missile that’s aimed right at him. You know — Imani!

Tessa’s career takes an unexpected turn. Given that Devon and Lily have made half the cast CEOs at Chancellor-Winters, maybe the singer will be given a seat on the board.

Calling all Grey’s and All My Children fans: Former Grey’s Anatomy sweethearts are getting a surprising reunion — and you won’t want to miss the drama this time around!
