Ashland puts Victor in check as Michael is MIA on The Young and the Restless

Ashland believes he is winning

Spoilers for The Young and the Restless say that at least for now Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) is in danger and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has been put in check by Ashland Locke (Robert Newman). Fans have no doubt that Baldwin will eventually resurface but for now he is MIA and not communicating with anyone. Michael is caught in the crossfire of the games that Victor and Ashland are playing with each other.

On Thursday Locke pretended he might be having a heart attack after refusing his father-in-law's demand that he leave Genoa City and Victoria Newman Locke behind. On Friday Ashland received a call that the three people who revealed he faked having cancer had been dealt with.

Spoilers reveal that Michael has been kidnapped along with the two Peruvian doctors and Lauren Baldwin (Tracey Bregman) will be frantic with worry. Ashland believes he has everything under control and for the moment it seems he does. Fans are wondering what it will take for Victor to come clean to his daughter and what can he do at this point to get her to believe him?

Victor Newman's family is in crisis mode

Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) warned her husband that he had pushed Ashland too far and that things could go wrong and she was right. Y&R viewers are wondering if Locke would resort to murder or is he just keeping Michael and the two doctors out of the way for now? If he lets them go they are going to sing like birds but fans don't see LeBlanc leaving the CBS soap. Whatever Locke has planned, his abducting former DA Baldwin will cause problems in Genoa City.

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) knows that her parents and her brother Nick Newman (Josh Morrow) are hiding something from her, She has become more defensive regarding her husband and no one wants to see her hurt. Even if Victor were considering telling Vicki what her husband has been up to he cannot do so now because Michael is missing.

Victor will have to have someone go to Peru to find out what happened to Michael and in the meantime, Lauren will be worried about her missing husband. On Monday she tells Chloe that she did nto want her spouse working for Victor again and that she has not heard from him for 24 hours.

Ashland tries to cover his bases

On Monday Ashland tells Victoria that the reports he never had cancer are fake and she wonders why her father would believe such a thing. She points out that she saw her husband's medical records so Locke is confident he has her on his side. Spoilers for next week show Locke telling Victor to go ahead and show his "evidence" to Vicki because he is not going anywhere.

The promo also has Nate Hastings ( Sean Dominic) asking Ashland if he faked his cancer and has been lying to everyone all along. If this were anyone else it would be easy to say "Game Over." Because it's Ashland Y&R fans know he probably has another trick or two up his sleeve.

Spoilers don't say how long this situation will go on but it does not look as if it will be resolved anytime soon. Lauren has been calling and texting her husband and he is no longer responding. She willprobably go to Victor at some point and he will have to give her some type of answer. Be on the lookout for updates to the situation in Peru as well as what happens next for the Newman family.
