Young & Restless spoilers week of February 27:
Young & Restless spoilers for Monday, February 27:
In Monday’s recap, Ashley issues a challenge to Tucker, Chelsea approaches Daniel, and Audra nearly catches Victoria and Nate!
Ain’t no feud like a family feud, so as Devon and Lily prepare for battle, we’re bracing ourselves for a doozy. What would Neil have to say about his children behaving like… well, children!
It’s been a long time coming, but at last, Chelsea, stronger and stabler than she has been in a while, takes on a new venture. No doubt, with Billy supporting her every step of the way…
We suspect that Nate and Victoria would have as much luck convincing birds not to fly and bees not to buzz as they will fighting their attraction.
Hunter King (ex-Summer) is keeping a tantalizing secret — from Days of Our Lives’ Chandler Massey — but we can tell you what it is, though!
Young & Restless spoilers for Tuesday, February 28:
In Tuesday’s recap, Adam pays Sally a visit and then grills Victor, Tucker sets a meeting, and Abby and Devon hit the sack!
Michelle Stafford expressed her true feelings to an adored castmate: “I am glad you’re alive.”
Victor gives Adam a second chance. At what, though? Because if it has anything to do with working for Pop, he’s already had about 200 chances.
When Ashley turns the tables on Tucker, will he come to regret ever returning to Genoa City in hopes of winning back his ex? Or will he simply turn the tables yet again? Also, why are all of these tables on wheels?
Between pregnancy hormones and the availability of two very appealing suitors, it’s almost inevitable that when Sally has a change of heart, it won’t be for the last time. Or even the last time this trimester.
Young & Restless Shocker! Victor Newman is set to lose big — even if he wins the battle.

In Wednesday’s recap, Tucker makes Devon a stunning offer, Ashley toys with Victor and Victoria, and Jack and Diane head for the cabin.
Heartbroken… Soap alum shares devastating news of her father’s suicide.
They wouldn’t be the Newmans if they weren’t naturally suspicious. But when Victor and Victoria question Ashley’s motives, are they just being paranoid… or could they be on to something?
Devon gives Tucker the third degree. Which is all well and good, but considering what an excellent liar he is, maybe Devon should turn up the heat and go to the fourth, perhaps the fifth degree.
Are those wedding bells that we hear ringing? Jack and Diane sneak out of town engaged… Will they return to Genoa City as husband and wife?
Conner Floyd takes a “chance” that could turn out to be life or death, as one decision changes everything.

In Thursday’s recap, Victoria asks Nate to sabotage Devon, Lily and Devon hold a public yelling match, and Audra stirs the pot with Elena.

Exclusive: Ashley Jones recalls her “very daunting” days at Young & Restless — plus, the actress gives props to two castmates, even though she “lost both times.”
Oh, Abby, we love your can-do attitude. Nevertheless, we sincerely doubt that she’ll be able to succeed when she tries to keep the peace. Unless… are a whip and a chair involved?
This could be the moment of truth for a potential new couple: Victoria puts Nate in an awkward position. Will he rise to the challenge… or fall away like so many of her past flirtations?
Eric Braeden looks back on a very special moment in his life and shares a cherished photo: “I shall never forget meeting her.”
Young & Restless spoilers for Friday, March 3:
In Friday’s recap, Jack asks Diane to marry him, Mariah returns, Nick rushes to Sally’s rescue, and Phyllis goes on a bender.
Phyllis receives a disturbing message. Hmm… if Jack and Diane really have tied the knot, that would certainly fit the bill as far as Red’s concerned, now wouldn’t it?
If Mariah shares surprising news with Sharon — and she does — it can only be about one thing: her and Tessa’s baby, aka the most-discussed-before-their-arrival character since Ashland Locke.
Preview! Will Mariah’s surprising news send Sharon into Chance, Nick, or Adam’s arms?!?
Nick makes a promise to Sally. Which sounds to us like it might be the kind of promise that comes with an engagement ring attached to it.
Fan favorites reunite as Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp dance their way into a new Hallmark mystery with a killer twist!
Take a stroll down memory lane as you look back on photos of Young & Restless through the years in the gallery below.

1/77
<p>When <em>The Young and the Restless</em> premiered in 1973, its focus was Brad Elliot (Tom Hallick), a doctor running from a tragic past… right into the arms of pianist Leslie Brooks (Janice Lynde).</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
2/77
<p>Leslie set up her jealous sister Lorie (Jaime Lyn Bauer) with filthy-rich Lance Prentiss (John McCook, now Eric on <em>The Bold and the Beautiful</em>), only to get mixed up in a delightfully messy love quadrangle with the couple and his brother, Lucas.</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
3/77
<p>Oh, no. Leslie (Victoria Mallory here) had every reason to think that she was being watched — she <em>was</em>. Lucas (Tom Ligon) and Lance had a mother (K.T. Stevens) who wasn’t so much a helicopter parent as a bomber pilot. And in <em>this</em> photo, Vanessa is being subtle!</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
4/77
<p>Vanessa so despised Lorie that she not only framed her daughter-in-law for her murder, she used words like “trashy” and “amateurish” to describe the author’s “great American novel,” <em>In My Sister’s Shadow.</em></p>

5/77
<p>Stuart’s daughter Chris (Trish Stewart) developed palpipations anytime med student Snapper Foster was around. Eventually, her condition was diagnosed as lovesickness. (There remains no cure.)</p>
6/77
<p>Then again, can ya blame Trish? Snapper was, after all, played by David Hasselhoff.</p>
Image: Courtesy of the Everett Collection
7/77
<p>Snapper’s upwardly-mobile sister Jill (then Brenda Dickson) wasn’t afraid to get down and dirty. In fact, it was her preferred method of social climbing.</p>
Image: Courtesy of the Everett Collection
8/77
<p>We’d mention that Jill’s mother Liz (Julianna McCarthy) disapproved of her willingness to lie, cheat and steal. But we’re pretty confident that you already know, just from looking at this photo.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
9/77
<p>But lonely Katherine Chancellor (the late, great Jeanne Cooper) wanted something besides her jewelry to keep her company. So she made the mistake of hiring Jill to be her companion.</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
10/77
<p>If Jill had pocketed a bauble or two, Kay might have overlooked it. But instead, the mantrap seduced both her benefactor’s husband and son, Brock Reynolds (Beau Kayzer).</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
11/77
<p>Mobster Joseph Anthony (Logan Ramsey) and daughter Alana (Amy Gibson) got the shock of their lives when they learned that she hadn’t married milquetoast white guy Robert Tyrone but Tyrone Jackson (Phil Morris), a Black attorney hell-bent on busting the don’s crime syndicate.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
12/77
<p>Snapper and Jill’s brother Greg (Wings Hauser) didn’t know when he married Nikki Reed (Melody Thomas Scott) that he was just her practice husband. She was only getting started on the marry-go-’round.</p>
Image: TV Guide/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
13/77
<p><em>The Young and the Restless</em> was so hot in the late 1970s that <em>TV Guide</em> put Victoria Mallory (another Leslie), Dickson, Bauer and David Hasselhoff (Snapper) on the cover. But what time is <em>WKRP in Cincinnati</em> on?</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
14/77
<p>As they put the “young” in <em>The Young and the Restless</em> in the early 1980s, Andy Richards (Steven Ford), Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) looked like they’d just stepped out of a John Hughes movie.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
15/77
<p>The ’80s ushered onto the soap’s canvas the Abbott family: patriarch John (Jerry Douglas) and his kids, insecure Traci (Beth Maitland), gorgeous Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and scheming Jack (the late Terry Lester).</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
16/77
<p>No woman in Genoa City was safe from Jack’s seductive charms, not when he set his eyes on “bedroom.” Thankfully, here they are only set on “gazebo.”</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
17/77
<p>As much as Jack loved the ladies, the ladies loved him. He couldn’t even pose for a picture without being photo-bombed by the likes of Carol Robbins (Christopher Templeton) and Lindsey Wells (Lauren Koslow, now Kate on <em>Days of Our Lives</em>).</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
18/77
<p>As Danny’s rock career took off, he found himself with as many groupies as Jack did lovers. Among the singer’s entourage were not only Traci but Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman), who was a mean girl before there was even a <em>Mean Girls.</em></p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
19/77
<p>As you can see, Lauren wasn’t keen on sharing Danny. She probably wasn’t too eager to share mousse, either, so we have no idea how both she and her boo managed to pull off their amazing ’80s coiffures.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
20/77
<p>Traci was destined for other adventures, like marriage to her family’s former gardener, a successful career as a novelist and becoming Genoa City’s gentle voice of reason.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
21/77
<p>Danny seemed to go from one love triangle to the next. After vying with Jill’s son Phillip Chancellor (Thom Bierdz) for the affections of teenage Jabot model Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell), Genoa City’s answer to Rick Springfield wound up battling Paul for her.</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
22/77
<p>Danny and Cricket also ran afoul of David Kimble (Michael Corbett), the murderous gold digger who married Phillip’s “widow” Nina Webster for — well, <em>duh</em> — her money.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
23/77
<p>We only wish we looked, never mind <em>were</em>, half as excited about dusting as Katherine’s housekeeper, Esther Valentine (Kate Linder).</p>
Image: CBS
24/77
<p>Did somebody order a doppelganger? Somehow diner waitress Marge Cotroke convinced everyone — for a while, anyway — that she wasn’t Flo from <em>Alice</em> but the inimitable Katherine.</p>
Image: Columbia Tristar/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
25/77
<p>… is another woman’s treasure. Jill thought that she was sticking it to Katherine by dressing up Danny’s no-good father Rex Sterling (Quinn Redeker) as an appropriately fancypants beau. But the couple overcame the lie to find true love.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
26/77
<p>After getting an eyeful of Nikki going all Gypsy Rose Lee at the Bayou, new mogul in town Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) decided to turn her into a society dame. At the same time, his heart was slowly realizing that it had no choice but to also make her his bride.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
27/77
<p>They say that you never forget your first time — and in Victor and Nikki’s case, they mean the first time you marry each other. Mind you, it wouldn’t be the last, not by a long shot.</p>
Image: Courtesy Everett Collection
28/77
<p>For years, <em>The Young and the Restless</em> played Victor’s push/pull between his favorite wives, Ashley and Nikki. How could the show not? It would take a <em>lot</em> of shampoo for either of them to wash that man right outta their hair.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
29/77
<p>As he built up Newman Enterprises, Victor earned a reputation as one of… OK, <em>the</em> most cutthroat tycoon in town. No wonder Jack dubbed him the Black Knight and not, say, Prince Smiles-a-Lot.</p>
Image: Geraldine Overton/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
30/77
<p>While presumed dead by his loved ones back in Genoa City, Victor did what any sensible person would — and began a new life for himself in Kansas with blind farmer Hope Wilson (Signy Coleman).</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
31/77
<p>Once future Emmy winner Heather Tom (now Katie on <em>The Bold and the Beautiful</em>) joined the cast as Victor and Nikki’s daughter, Victoria made herself comfortable in her new permanent home: the front burner.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
32/77
<p>Victoria was smitten from the start with baby-faced would-be businessman Ryan McNeil (Scott Reeves). But not only couldn’t he tie a tie, he couldn’t commit — and kept gravitating back toward Nina Chancellor, a “widow” with as much money as Victoria and <em>way</em> fewer hang-ups.</p>
Image: Columbia Tristar/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
33/77
<p>Brad Carlton (Don Diamont, now Bill on <em>The Bold and the Beautiful</em>) went from tending to John’s garden to marrying his daughters to occupying a corner office at his cosmetics company to… aw. A watery grave.</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
34/77
<p>Not all of the attention that Brad got from the ladies — and he got a <em>lot</em> of it — was wanted. For instance, he could have done without being locked in a cage by an obsessed Lisa Mansfield (Lynne Harbaugh). And if ya think <em>that’s</em> bad…</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
35/77
<p>Shawn Garrett (Grant Cramer) became so fixated on Lauren that he buried his favorite singer alive. And it wasn’t like she knew any good funeral dirges!</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
36/77
<p>Victor went apoplectic when Victoria (now Amelia Heinle) took up with archenemy Jack’s kid brother, Billy (then Billy Miller). The Mustache even went so far as to have his own daughter arrested on her wedding day!</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
37/77
<p>There was no fooling Victor. He didn’t like Victoria being with Billy any more with Jason Thompson playing the part than he had when Billy Miller was.</p>
Image: Monty Brinton/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
38/77
<p>Fine, fine, Victor. We’ll move along…</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
39/77
<p>While Victoria was marrying her way through one Billy after another, brother Nick (Joshua Morrow) seemed to have eyes for only one young woman. And she was…</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
40/77
<p>When rich boy Nick fell for poor girl Sharon Collins (Sharon Case), it was all over for him. He was in it for life. Well, except for one thing…</p>
Image: Aaron Montgomery/JPI
41/77
<p>After Nick and Sharon lost daughter Cassie, their marriage frayed… to the point that he didn’t stop at just having eye sex with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
42/77
<p>Though introduced as a beach-going himbo, Paul matured into one of the most honorable fellas in Genoa City. And during his time as a private eye, there wasn’t a case that he couldn’t crack like it was a walnut.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
43/77
<p>In 1991, Neil Winters (the late Kristoff St. John) was but an ambitious executive trainee at Jabot. How far he’d go before he was, sadly, gone.</p>
Image: Monty Brinton/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
44/77
<p>When feisty Drucilla Barber (Victoria Rowell) needed to manufacture a boyfriend as part of a harebrained plot to steal her sister’s man, she recruited level-headed Neil — and wound up getting the better part of the deal!</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
45/77
<p>Neil wound up with a rival when he was reunited with long-lost sibling Malcolm (Shemar Moore). So into Dru was the hunk that he had sex with her while she was too high on medication to realize that he wasn’t her husband. Not cool, bro.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
46/77
<p>Though Malcolm turned out to be the father of Dru’s daughter, Lily, they let Neil believe that he was the one who needed to go to all of the girl’s parent/teacher nights. Also not cool, bro.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
47/77
<p>Lily (Christel Khalil) turned out to have a knack for attracting trouble, whether it was Internet predator Kevin Fisher, porn addict Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) or…</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
48/77
<p>Fans rooted like crazy for Lily to make it work with Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard). But when the Aussie wasn’t being duped (by everyone from Amber Moore to Chloe Mitchell), lying about his identity (Phillip Chancellor… as if!) or playing dead, he was locking lips and then some with a host of women who were not his wife.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
49/77
<p>As big a handful as Lily may have been, she had nothing on her adopted brother, Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), who carried on with ill-fated true love Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) behind the back of her husband — his dad, Neil. Did we mention that Neil was <em>blind</em> at the time? Insert face-palm here.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
50/77
<p>“Evil” wasn’t actually a part of Nurse Sheila Carter’s name, but that was how everyone referred to Kimberlin Brown’s she-devil after she stole both Lauren’s husband and son and attempted to overcook her.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection (2)
51/77
<p>We couldn’t include a picture of one of Lauren and Sheila’s infamous smackdowns here, because once they got started, their fists were flying too quickly to be captured in a still.</p>
Image: Cliff Lipson/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
52/77
<p>Or the offense. Either way. Once the erstwhile Cricket dealt with legal mentor Michael Baldwin’s sexual harassment and subsequent obsession, she became a respected attorney. And also, at one point, Michael’s fiancée. We didn’t get it, either. </p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
53/77
<p>Keeping a cake from melting in the heat looked a lot easier for Danny and Christine on their wedding day than it ever does on <em>The Great British Baking Show.</em></p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
54/77
<p>Years (<em>and</em> years) before making hay with Nick, Phyllis was introduced to the canvas as the Danny superfan who went so far as to switch paternity tests to make the happily-hitched rocker believe that he was the father of her son, Daniel. (You remember, the porn junkie on the beach with Lily a few images ago… )</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
55/77
<p>Phyllis was so enraged by the way that the Bug, as she always called Cricket, assumed she was guilty of everything — which, um, she was — that the troublemaker attempted to make roadkill of Christine and subsequent fiancé Paul. Note: This is not a picture of that; all Paul and Chris were in danger of here was getting sand in their nether regions.</p>
Image: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection
56/77
<p>As part of his sick plan to earn a second chance with Christine, Michael turned loose on Paul seductress Isabella Brana (future <em>Desperate Housewives</em> star Eva Longoria), who turned out to be as mad as a hatter. Assuming that that hatter has serious mental issues.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
57/77
<p>The romance of Billy (then David Tom) and Mackenzie Browning (Kelly Kruger) outraged his mother, Jill, as much as it delighted Mac’s grandma, Katherine. Of course, everyone was mortified during the hot second that it was believed that the sweethearts were related.</p>
Image: CBS/Getty Images
58/77
<p>No, this isn’t Billy, Mac (original portrayer Ashley Bashioum), Rianna Miner (Alexis Thorpe), T.J. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), Raul Gutierrez (David Lago) and Brittany Hodges (Lauren Woodland) accepting an award for Best Synchronized Dressing. The show was recognized for its Raul-centric diabetes storyline.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
59/77
<p>Only when Nina’s son Chance Chancellor (then John Driscoll) returned to Genoa City in 2009 did either of them learn that Phillip hadn’t died all those years ago, he’d merely faked his untimely passing rather than disclose his sexual orientation.</p>
