Damian’s shocking murder has left The Young and the Restless fans buzzing with speculation—and now, one bold theory is emerging. Could Holden be the one who stabbed Damian in the back? With his complex history with Damian and Cane, could this be the ultimate betrayal? The investigation is just beginning, and this theory has fans playing detective. What do you think?

As The Young and the Restless kicks off its latest murder mystery, fans are left with a burning question—who killed Damian? The young businessman’s shocking death has turned Genoa City upside down, and as the investigation unfolds, one fan theory has fans on high alert: Could Holden be responsible for Damian’s death?

It all started when Damian (Jermaine Rivers) was brutally murdered in what appeared to be a targeted attack. A knife was plunged into his back, leaving the investigation to focus on the motive behind this violent act. But was the knife meant for Damian, or could it have been intended for someone else—perhaps Cane (Billy Flynn)? The plot thickens as fans begin to speculate who could have been behind this shocking act.

One theory that has gained traction among Y&R fans is that Holden (Nathan Owens) might be the one who killed Damian. The argument for this theory hinges on several key points. First, the fact that Damian was stabbed in the back is seen by many fans as a significant clue. Could it be a reference to Holden’s feeling that Damian “stabbed him in the back” when he seemingly let him get fired? According to a Reddit user, this could be the catalyst for Holden’s rage, as he may have seen Damian’s actions as a betrayal, especially considering their complicated past.

One fan’s theory suggests that Holden could have teamed up with Cane in a revenge plot, driven by Holden’s belief that Damian set him up. “Holden really thought Damian set him up by letting him seemingly get fired. And we know how Cane felt about him being with Lily,” they theorized. This connection to Cane could have been the perfect opportunity for Holden to exact his revenge, especially with the ongoing tensions between him and Damian.

The theory is further supported by the fact that Holden wasn’t in France, as many fans initially speculated. However, one clever viewer pointed out that Holden, much like Cane, could have made a quick trip—perhaps even using Cane’s private jet to fly in and out without raising suspicion. The logistical possibility, combined with Holden’s resentment toward Damian, makes this theory even more plausible.

Before his departure, Holden and Damian were definitely not on good terms. Holden’s animosity toward Damian, combined with his new partnership with Cane, would give him the perfect motive to strike back. Holden could have easily found an opportunity to take revenge while in town, especially with the lingering bad blood between him and Damian. His partnership with Cane would also have given him a reason to be in the right place at the right time.

But is Holden really the killer? If this theory holds water, does that mean Cane was involved too? Could the two men have planned the murder together, or is Holden acting alone in his quest for revenge? These are the questions that Y&R fans are anxiously awaiting answers to.

The stakes couldn’t be higher as the investigation into Damian’s death continues. If Holden is indeed the killer, the ramifications for his future in Genoa City could be dire. The fallout from his betrayal of Damian could shake up his relationships with other characters, particularly Cane, who could either support him or find himself caught in the web of deceit.

What’s certain is that the mystery surrounding Damian’s death is far from over, and with theories like this swirling, the drama is just beginning. Holden’s potential involvement in Damian’s death would add a shocking twist to an already explosive storyline, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how this murder mystery unfolds.

With a guilty party still unconfirmed, will Y&R fans get the answers they’re looking for, or will the truth about Damian’s murder remain hidden in the shadows? One thing is for sure—this is a twist that could change everything for the characters of Genoa City.
