The drama in The Young and the Restless is reaching new heights as two women go missing, sending their families into a panic.
Meanwhile, romance stirs in Genoa City as unexpected connections form and long-standing relationships take a surprising turn.
Here’s a look at what’s coming up for the week of February 24-28.
A Shocking Disappearance Sends Families Into a Panic
Tensions rise at Crimson Lights when Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) drops a bombshell that sends shockwaves through the group.
He and his sister, Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), are deeply concerned about their mother, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), who has suddenly disappeared.
Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), who has a complicated past with both women, considers the oddity of the situation, responding, “It seems like a weird coincidence.” But Daniel, stating what everyone knows to be true, counters, “Yeah, why would they go anywhere together? The two of them hate each other.”
Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) are also part of the conversation, their concern growing as well. Mariah, always sharp and intuitive, suggests something chilling—”Unless one of them didn’t go willingly.”
This troubling thought sends the group into action as they try to piece together what could have happened. Were Sharon and Phyllis taken against their will? Or could they somehow be involved in each other’s disappearance? And if foul play is involved, could Ian Ward (Ray Wise) be the mastermind behind it? The mystery deepens as the search for answers begins.
Damian and Lily’s Long-Awaited Dinner Date
While some are dealing with an intense mystery, others in Genoa City are navigating the complexities of romance. Damian (Jermaine Rivers) has been eager to spend time with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and after much persistence, he finally gets the special evening he’s been hoping for.
Over dinner, Damian opens up to Lily about his recent emotional meeting with his estranged mother, Amy (Valarie Pettiford). She had encouraged him to take that step, and now he’s ready to shift the focus back onto her. “Told you all about my family drama,” he says.
Lily, always gracious, nods in agreement, acknowledging what he’s shared. “Yes, you did,” she replies. But Damian isn’t satisfied just yet. He leans in with curiosity and a bit of nervous energy as he presses her with a more personal question—”And yet I still know so very little about you. Are you involved with anyone—romantically?”
His question catches Lily off guard, and she responds with a small, amused laugh before muttering, “Oh my God.” While Damian may have hoped for a smooth lead-in to deeper intimacy, his approach doesn’t seem to be winning Lily over just yet. Will she allow herself to be vulnerable with him, or will she continue to keep her guard up
