Once you’re sure that the rug beneath you isn’t about to be yanked out, read on, and we’ll unpack these teasers and more!

Young & Restless spoilers week of September 5:

Y&R Restless Rant! Hot topics: Nick and Sally, Chance and Abby’s trouble in paradise, the new big bad and more!

Young & Restless spoilers for Monday, September 5:

In Monday’s recap, Diane receives a cryptic text, Sally struggles, Adam advises Nick, and Summer confronts Kyle.

Nobody could have seen this one coming. Kidding. Everybody could see it coming except for Nikki and Phyllis. When their plan backfires, the only questions are, “How badly?” and “Which of them will get burned worse?”

Apparently having taken up reading How to Wreck a Marriage in Three Simple Steps, Kyle keeps a secret from Summer. Mm-hmm. Because that’s always gone so well for “Skyle.”

Could we be getting our first tease of One Life to Live vet Trevor St. John’s imminent arrival in Genoa City? We suspect that will be the case when Diane receives a cryptic message.

Young & Restless spoilers for Tuesday, September 6:

In Tuesday’s recap, Victor hollers at Adam, Chelsea drops a bomb, and Nate considers a bold move.

Huge twist?!? Nick’s future entanglements may be a whole lot messier than we were thinking!

Victor’s blood pressure is sure to spike anew as he discovers Adam’s latest deception. At this point, were the Mustache to say, “Son, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times — don’t deceive me!” it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Can’t say as we blame Lily for questioning Billy’s partnership with Chelsea. We doubt he’d be too keen on it, were Lily throwing sparks with one of her exes (Daniel, Cane… ).

They’ve already managed to pull off the tricky part: getting on the same page. Now, Mariah and Tessa discuss their next chapter — and perhaps the diaper changes that may accompany it.

Young & Restless spoilers for Wednesday, September 7:

In Wednesday’s recap, Jack questions Billy, Sally overhears an argument, and Chance helps a drunken Chelsea home.

Ah, nothing says “family” quite like being stabbed in the back by a relative, eh? It’s going to seem like old times for the Abbotts when Billy challenges Jack’s leadership at Jabot.

Perhaps sensing that something is about to happen with Nick that could upset the apple cart, Chloe gives Sally a warning… which, let’s be real, she’s less likely to heed than she is to show up at work wearing something less than fashionable.

As Sally comes to a crossroads, Courtney Hope dials up inspiration: “There’s always an excuse, but… “

Who’ll be getting an assist when Abby enlists Chance to help someone in need? If a detective is required, it could be exceptionally serious.

Young & Restless spoilers for Thursday, September 8:

In Thursday’s recap, Nikki’s reveal stuns Phyllis, Tessa’s nervous, Billy brightens Chelsea’s day, Elena confronts Imani, and Kyle and Adam square off.

Not happy! Young & Restless fans were left fuming over *these* exits!

Likely still dealing with the fallout from her and Phyllis’ botched scheme against Diane, Nikki makes a shocking announcement. Could she finally be ready to let bygones be bygones?

When Phyllis corners Jack, she’s likely to regret it. But how? Her actions since Diane rose from the grave have already buried the future that “Phack” was dreaming of. Is it still possible that Phyllis can make a bad situation worse?

Speaking of making bad situations worse… Chelsea makes progress with Billy, which can’t be good news for his romance with Lily.

Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, September 9:

In Friday’s recap, Victor wants Sally gone, Nate storms out of a meeting with Jill, and Sally has a close encounter with Adam.

Perhaps forgetting that Victoria is in charge, Victor demands changes at Newman Enterprises. Hope helmets are handy when the butting of heads commences.

Nate doesn’t need a scalpel in his hand to be a smooth operator. Today, the former doctor holds his own in the boardroom.

When Adam undergoes a change of heart will it lead him straight back to Sally… or will he instead decide to bow out of the job at Jabot to save his pal Jack’s hide?

“Don’t tease us like that!” we cried when The Young and the Restless (for starters!) flirted with, hinted at and sometimes even promised us new pairings… and then didn’t deliver. See if you, too, found yourself asking “WTH?” as you review the below photos of almost couples that never actually got to happen.
