🧨 Y&R SHOCKWAVES! Dumas’ Identity EXPOSED, Amanda’s Secrets UNLEASHED, and Victor Plays His FINAL CARD! 🔥
Get ready for two weeks of jaw-dropping drama in The Young and the Restless! Between June 16 and June 27, 2025, Genoa City is turned upside down as the elusive Aristotle Dumas finally reveals himself, Amanda’s past becomes public, and Victor Newman sets a dangerous game into motion that could change the fate of the Newmans, Abbotts — and beyond!
Let’s break down what’s coming…
🕴️ WHO IS ARISTOTLE DUMAS? THE MASK COMES OFF!
After months of mystery, the face of Dumas Industries is finally revealed — and it’s more shocking than anyone could have expected. Aristotle Dumas (portrayed by a powerful new guest star) throws an extravagant party in Nice, France, where the veil of secrecy is finally lifted.
Not only is Aristotle charismatic and cultured, but he has deep roots in Genoa City’s history — including a shocking connection to Amanda Sinclair. Could he be her long-lost brother? A former client? Or something even deeper?
👩⚖️ AMANDA’S CONNECTION REVEALED!
As the champagne flows and secrets slip out, Amanda is forced to face her past when a photo from 20 years ago surfaces — showing her as a child alongside Dumas. Suddenly, her well-kept personal history becomes tabloid fuel.
Amanda confesses to Devon:
“There’s more to me than I’ve ever told anyone — and he’s the proof.”
The revelation rocks Devon and even stirs concern in Victor, who begins to question if Amanda has been a pawn all along… or a co-conspirator.
👑 VICTOR TAKES CONTROL — AGAIN
While others reel from Dumas’ arrival, Victor Newman does what he does best: gains the upper hand. With an old dossier he’s been holding onto, Victor uses his knowledge to corner Dumas into a negotiation no one sees coming.
His threat is clear:
“I don’t care how rich or connected you are. You cross me — you fall.”
Victor’s power move not only saves the Newman empire but also puts several other players in check, including Tucker McCall, who is rumored to be watching everything from the shadows.
💔 ROMANCES IN TURMOIL
Back in Genoa City, love isn’t safe from the flames:
-
Tessa and Mariah find themselves at odds as Mariah continues to hide details about her business dealings — and a past kiss with someone unexpected threatens everything.
-
Chelsea’s confession to Adam could reignite their chemistry — or end things forever.
-
Kyle gets caught in Audra’s latest trap — and it might cost him his spot at Jabot and his sanity.
-
Nick and Sally share a moment of clarity… but does it signal a reunion or goodbye?
🔥 CORPORATE WARFARE INTENSIFIES
Newman Enterprises, Chancellor-Winters, and Jabot are all under siege.
-
Nate Hastings suspects Holden of insider manipulation, and the tension boils into a physical altercation.
-
Lily returns from her silent retreat with plans to dissolve a major division — shocking her partners.
-
Audra files a claim that could leave Newman vulnerable to hostile takeover bids — and she might have Dumas backing her move.
Victor, sensing the heat, brings in new security and legal muscle — including a mystery new player who may be working double time for Dumas behind the scenes.
🕵️ A NEW FACE ARRIVES — AND BILLY FLYNN JOINS THE CAST!
In the second week (June 23–27), Days of Our Lives alum Billy Flynn debuts as a stylish, smooth, and dangerously persuasive man named Julian Graye — rumored to be Dumas’ protégé or possible double agent. His arrival sends shockwaves through the Abbotts and triggers red flags for Nikki, who’s been following Dumas’ history for years.
Julian will cross paths with Phyllis, Audra, and Victoria, and his charm could be as deadly as it is magnetic.
⚖️ LEGAL TROUBLES BREW
With Amanda under scrutiny, Michael Baldwin returns with an urgent case: a whistleblower from Dumas Industries has handed over sensitive information implicating Newman Enterprises in an environmental violation.
Victor is livid. Amanda is blindsided. And Chance is caught in the middle — forced to choose between his badge and his loyalty to the Newmans.
🌪️ WHAT’S NEXT?
