Y&R Recap November 10: Abby Appears to Have a Heart Attack

On the Tuesday, November 10, 2026, of The Young and the Restless, Abby needed an ambulance, Diane and Nikki clashed, and Victor and Jack agreed. (Will wonders never cease?)

Victor Needs Jack

After Jack saw Diane off to work, he was stunned when Victor showed up at his front door wanting to talk. Victor barged right in and said they needed to discuss the problem that was Billy, Adam, Sally, and Ruby. Victor was worried about Adam and thought he was running head-first into emotional turmoil.

Even Chelsea was in the dark about how often Adam had been visiting the baby. Victor felt no good could come of it and Jack agreed. "As grateful as Billy is that Adam delivered his daughter, he also thinks Adam overstepped and he needed to set some boundaries," Jack said.

"What you don't know is how deeply affected Adam is and has been by the death of his own daughter. When he helped deliver Ruby, it touched something in him that makes him now want to visit her as much as he can. It breaks my heart," Victor said. Jack promised Victor he would keep an eye on things.

Sharon vs. Nikki

Sharon wasn't pleased when Nikki waltzed into Crimson Lights to chastise her for being a traitor. "Really, Nikki. Are you really going to hold a grudge just cause I took a few photos?" Sharon asked.

Nikki sure was. How dare she model for the competition?! Vibrante was Noah's legacy, after all. "Vibrainte has not even launched," Sharon correctly pointed out." Sharon told Nikki she felt threatened by Diane. That was the only reason she was acting this way. When Nick walked in, Nikki was on a tear. "Are you aware that your ex-wife is a traitor?" Nikki asked.

Nick wanted to know, so Sharon told her ex what his mother was so upset about. Nick scoffed that the photo shoot as no big deal, but Nikki begged to differ. Sharon had betrayed the Newman family, Nikki dramatically declared. A frustrated Sharon assured Nikki that there was no ill-intent aimed toward the family. Nick just wanted the women to chill. Nikki refused and stormed out of the coffee shop.

Once Nikki was gone, Sharon gave Nick the longer story about what had happened, including Nikki crashing the photo shoot and causing a major scene. Nick tried to be understanding and told Sharon that Nikki had been stressed and under pressure lately. Sharon didn't seem to care. Nikki ruined her perfectly good day and she wasn't going to offer an apology.

Sharon then changed the subject to Nick, who had recently visited Marie. "I thought that I could handle it...She's doing a lot better, but she knows she's got a long road ahead. We talked a lot about what we've been through and the challenges of just trying to stay sober," he admitted.

Nick also confessed that the reason he had taken the drugs off Joe was to test himself. "Did you pass the test, Nick, or did you take some of these?" Sharon asked.

Abby's Problems

At Society, Devon and Abby talked about parenthood. Abby was embarrassed that she thought she was pregnant when she knew it was almost impossible. The nausea had even stopped. Devon was still worried and wanted Abby to get checked out some more.

She didn't have much time to protest because Traci arrived. After Abby served some tea and scones, Devon asked Traci if she would like to teach at his university. Traci didn't know where she would even find the time. Devon explained that Traci would have a year until things got started, so Traci said she'd consider the offer.

At the bar, Daniel lamented to Abby about working for his mother. He didn't know if it would work out, so Abby brought him over to Devon's table and suggested he work in the college's graphics department. Devon admitted he had been thinking about that. Daniel was taken aback, considering his history with Lily. Devon wanted that to be water under the bridge, so Daniel agreed to at least consider the offer.

Soon, Traci and Abby sat down to talk. Traci informed her niece that she thought she had been pregnant, but it was a false alarm. However, when Abby got up to walk over to Devon, she started feeling heart palpitations, so Devon called an ambulance.

The Ladies Who Lunch

At the GCAC, Daniel grew sick of listening to his mother's unhinged business plans and stormed out. He was frustrated with her constant determination to stick it to the Newmans. When Daniel was gone, Diane appeared with a big, bright smile and lots of compliments.

Phyllis didn't like hearing Diane lay it on thick like that, so she bluntly asked what Diane really wanted. Diane told her she needed to book the jazz lounge for Valentine's Day for a business matter. It turned out Nikki wanted the same. She appeared and began an argument with Diane. Phyllis just sat back and watched, with a snack.

Nikki and Diane argued back and forth about who had the better ad campaign and more modern product. Phyllis thought it would be fun for the women to compete for the room. Nikki offered double what Diane was willing to pay. Diane thought Phyllis should say yes for the Jabot prestige aspect of it all. She called Vibrante "Audra's repurposed trash."

Phyllis was amused, but still unmoved. Nikki thought that Phyllis owed it to Victor, until Diane pointed out that Victor had Phyllis thrown in jail. Diane made a good point. Phyllis was till undecided. After Daniel's trip to Society, he returned to the GCAC to witness this scene.

Phyllis decided she'd had enough so she delegated and told her won to handle Nikki and Diane. Phyllis walked off while Daniel tried to get the courage to mediate.

What do you think is wrong with Abby? Are Diane and Nikki acting like children? Sound off in the comments.
