Thanksgiving isn't until the end of the month, but viewers of The Young and the Restless are plenty grateful for the show's stories and conflicts! According to weekly spoilers provided to Soap Central, many stories are kicking into high gear during the week of Monday, November 16, through Friday, November 20, 2026!
Triangles R Us

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) is rethinking her affair with Kyle (Michael Mealor), as he was almost once her son-in-law, courtesy of his romance with Claire (Hayley Erin). Next week, watch for Victoria to interrupt an exchange between Kyle and Claire.
This will likely send Vicki a reminder about the family dynamics that could be disrupted by her and Kyle's relationship coming to light. Ironically, Vicki went through something similar before, only it was with her mother, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), not her daughter. Both Vicki and Nikki were attracted to Cole (J. Eddie Peck). Eventually, Vicki and Cole ended up together, and their love resulted in the birth of Claire.
Claire, AKA baby Eve, was stolen from Cole and Vicki at birth, but decades later, they were reunited. Now, history is, in a way, repeating itself with the Victoria/Kyle/Claire dynamic! Later in the week, watch for Kyle and Vicki to talk about their relationship!
Crisis Manager

Victor (Eric Braeden) is going to lend his expertise to manage a crisis next week. Which situation is Victor called upon to help fix? There's his son, Nicholas (Joshua Morrow), who is keeping the whereabouts of Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) a secret. Victor's also aware that Adam (Mark Grossman) is grappling with some emotional issues as the birth of baby Ruby has stirred up memories of Adam's late daughter, Ava. There's trouble with Victor's other children, too!
Victor hasn't caught on to Victoria's fling with Kyle, but once he does, we are betting that would command his full attention! There's also Abby's (Melissa Ordway) health status. What's going on with Abby? We can envision Victor storming Genoa City Memorial Hospital, demanding that his youngest child get the best care -- stat!
Dear Abby

Speaking of Abby, her medical condition is going to get some screentime next week. Towards the end of the week, Abby's medical status will resurface. Is her condition going to be tied to Nate's (Sean Dominic) conflicts with Dr. Andrew Bishop (Fareed Ward)? Watch for Abby's husband, Devon (Bryton James), to cross paths with someone from his past!
