‘The Young and the Restless’ preempted Friday and Monday

Due to CBS coverage of NCAA Basketball Championship, The Young and the Restless will not air on Friday or Monday. Thursday’s episode is what is being shown online for March 19th. If you already viewed it you know that Ashland Locke made his deal with Victor and Adam and later saw his wife in a serious conversation with Kyle. Victoria shared with her mother that she is afraid her father will use this new acquisition to come against Chancecom and Billy. Nikki is trying to be the peacemaker in the family as usual.

Chelsea is hiding the fact that she is recovering from her stroke but Chloe knows the truth. She will move forward with her plan to get revenge on Adam and who knows she might have something to do with Rey being poisoned. Phyllis and Sally had a heated discussion that seemed to end in a stalemate and Summer was searching the Internet for information regarding young Harrison Locke. Jack is on top of the world and not even entertaining the idea that his new love interest could be big trouble. Spoilers say that next Tuesday through Friday the action will continue.

March Madness takes hold in Genoa City next week with Phyllis still trying to save Jack from Sally Spectra. He insists he knows what he is doing but his ex-wife is like a dog with a bone and she will not let go of her current obsession with the woman who is causing her daughter so much trouble. Meanwhile, Summer will have her own situation where she is digging for answers. She will begin to question whether or not Harrison Locke is really Kyle's son. Theo said there was DNA but never explained where he got that information.

Many viewers had been thinking that Ashland Locke would discover that his wife cheated and his son does not belong to him. Now it seems that Summer thinks something is amiss. A possibility is that Theo lied and is blackmailing Tara into saying the child is Kyle's. He may be threatening to tell her husband about the affair unless she plays along. If the boy does belong to Kyle this means that Tara had a DNA test done at some point, but viewers are wondering how and why Theo dug this up after so many years. Whatever is really going on, Summer will no doubt get to the bottom of it.

Kyle has been avoiding his father's questions but Jack can see that something is troubling him. Spoilers suggest that next week Kyle may have no choice but to tell his dad about his connection to Tara and Ashland Locke. Jack will probably insist that Kyle get to know his son, which will cause all kinds of drama unless Summer can prove that Harrison does indeed belong to Ashland.

Sharon will be distressed in the coming week as she sticks by Rey's side trying to figure out what is going on with him. Viewers are wondering who is poisoning him and as Rey's condition worsen, the blame will probably eventually be placed on Adam. The storyline had been implying that Abby's chosen surrogate was having second thoughts about bearing her child but next week Mariah and Tessa make a life-changing decision.

They will agree to move into the Chancellor mansion as the plan for Abby's baby get into full swing. Leaving their studio apartment and going to live in this huge home may not be all it is cracked up to be. The duo will have to adjust to living not just with Abby but also with Nina. Should Y&R bring back Chance, then there will be a full house which might make things too close for comfort.
