Nick has been a solid rock to his family on The Young and the Restless, but is he out of the woods when it comes to his own situation? Spoilers for the Thursday, July 23, 2026, episode have Nick confessing something to Sharon, while Audra and Sally explore their options. Additionally, Chelsea and Adam make a power move to impress Victor.

My Name is Nicholas

Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) aren't back together officially, but the two have spent a great deal of time together over the last year. From their sojourn to France, where Nick almost died, to being in Los Angeles for their son, Noah (Lucas Adams), to their ordeals with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), the two have been nearly inseparable!

On Thursday's show, watch for Nick to confess something to Sharon. Is he worried about a relapse as he tries to beat his addiction to pills? Or is Nick concerned about Nikki's well-being now that she has her bandages off and still can't see? Either way, Sharon is a rock in Nick's life. There's still a great deal of love between them. In fact, perhaps Nick will confess to Sharon that he still loves her and wants to reunite!

Exploration Plan

Sally (Courtney Hope) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) presented a plan to Victor in which they'd sell him part of Spectra-Charles, the media company that has assets to Newman Media. Victor scoffed at the idea of paying for something that he feels is his. But Sally pointed out that he'd be buying fewer headaches if he were to go with her deal, and most importantly, he'd keep peace within the Newman family.

On Thursday's show, watch for Sally and Audra to explore their options. Does this mean they might give up Spectra-Charles and start their own company? That's not likely feasible, financially. Might they offer to sweeten the deal with Victor so that he feels less cheated? Victor may, on some level, respect Sally and Audra as they, like he, came from nothing and are scrappers!

Impressing Victor

Very few have negotiated successfully with Victor Newman once the man has made up his mind. However, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman) are going to do their best. Watch for the two to make a power move to impress Victor.

The mogul loves a good business deal, but he also loves his family. He's got a lot on his mind with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) now that she's had her bandages removed and cannot see. Perhaps Victor will give Adam and Chelsea a pass if (and that's a big "if") their power play impresses him.

Victor may surprise everyone involved and back off from his plan to wrest control of Spectra-Charles from Sally and Audra.

What is Nicholas going to share with Sharon? Might Sally and Audra get to keep Spectra-Charles? Will Victor be impressed by Adam and Chelsea's plan?
