The Young and The Restless: 3 Shocking Twists This Week (September 29 – October 3, 2025)
Genoa City Faces New Betrayals and Dangerous Choices
The Young and The Restless is gearing up for a week of explosive confrontations and risky decisions. From Claire Newman moving further away from Kyle Abbott to Sally Spectra’s bold betrayal, Genoa City’s power dynamics are shifting fast. Add in Cane Ashby’s ruthless business move, and the stage is set for high drama.

1) Claire Moves On from Kyle, Drawn to Holden Novak
Claire Newman has had enough of Kyle Abbott’s wandering attention, particularly his growing closeness to Audra Charles. Choosing to take control of her own happiness, Claire begins seeking new romantic experiences, pushing her closer to Holden Novak. Their bond deepens just as tensions with Kyle erupt into another heated fight.
But Victoria Newman and Nate Hastings aren’t convinced Holden is the answer. Both warn Claire about his questionable past, especially his ties to Audra, leaving her torn between a fresh start and another heartbreak.
2) Sally Spectra Betrays Billy with a Call to Jill Abbott
Sally Spectra makes a daring—and dangerous—move this week. Going behind Billy Abbott’s back, she calls his mother, Jill Abbott, to confess her feelings for Billy. But Sally doesn’t stop there. She also exposes details of Billy’s fraught business deal with Cane Ashby, the same deal that triggered a bitter rift between Billy and his brother Jack.
Her gamble could reshape Billy’s personal and professional life, but it risks destroying their fragile relationship before it ever has a chance to solidify.
3) Cane Ashby Fires Michael Baldwin — Phyllis Steps In
Cane Ashby stuns Genoa City by firing his longtime confidant Michael Baldwin. With Michael gone, he needs a replacement he can trust. Enter Phyllis Summers, who quickly volunteers to join his inner circle. She promises Cane she can handle Billy Abbott and insists on keeping their alliance tight and exclusive.
Phyllis stepping into this volatile mix could shift the balance of power, sparking rivalries that will shake Genoa City’s foundations.
A Pivotal Week for Genoa City
From Claire’s emotional crossroads to Sally’s risky betrayal and Phyllis’s bold career move, this week on The Young and The Restless will leave no one untouched. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and new alliances will form in ways that could change everything.
