Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the next episode of the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our next week Y&R spoilers, here!)

Lauren Fenmore Baldwin Panics

Let’s begin with Lauren, who will be in a state of panic. Lauren is so worried about Michael working for Victor. In fact, she was worried when Michael first took the job!

A lot has happened since then, including Michael being kidnapped and jailed in a foreign country. There was also the Jordan (Colleen Zenk) incident, something Victor still doesn’t seem to appreciate.

In any case, Lauren will panic. Michael promised his wife he wasn’t going to work for Victor anymore. However, she knows exactly how persuasive and demanding Victor can be.

Victor Newman’s Dire Warning3

When Michael goes to talk to Victor, there will be a dire warning. The patriarch doesn’t take people quitting on him very well.

Victor is also stuck on this idea that Michael betrayed him. So, Victor could consider Michael quitting as another act of betrayal.

Of course, it’s also possible that Victor will make some kind of deal with Michael. However, that might require him to lie to Lauren.

The Young And The Restless' Spoilers Friday, May 23: Lauren’s Crisis, Victor’s Dire Warning, Diane Frets

The Young and the Restless spoilers for tomorrow reveal that Diane will also be in a state of worry. Diane will be concerned about her son’s decision-making.

This probably has to do with Kyle’s mind games with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). The mind games caught Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) off guard. Although Claire tried to discuss it with Kyle, he seems determined to go in a certain direction.

Claire made it clear that she didn’t like the mind games. Claire was raised by Jordan, the queen of manipulation.

So, seeing Kyle play these games could remind her of Jordan. It’s not a pleasant side of Kyle for Claire to see, so that could have her starting to doubt him.

Claire might even try to protect Kyle from making some bad decisions by going to his parents. Claire already has a good dynamic with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Perhaps Claire warns Diane that Kyle is headed in a dark direction? In any case, stay tuned!

While Emmerdale’s Aaron Dingle faces betrayal, secrets, and emotional chaos on screen, the man behind the role—Danny Miller—has never looked happier in real life. The beloved soap actor has shared a deeply moving update that has fans in tears for all the right reasons: his growing family. Just weeks after welcoming his third child, Danny took to Instagram to post a joyful holiday snap with wife Steph and their children—marking their first trip away as a family of five. Beaming from the pool with their two older kids, Albert and Edith, Danny captioned the post with simple yet powerful words: “Family: where life begins and love never ends.” It was a moment of pure contrast to the heartache unfolding for Aaron in Emmerdale. On the show, Aaron has had a turbulent 2025: still reeling from Anthony Fox’s death, navigating a tense marriage to John Sugden, and facing the emotional return of his ex-husband, Robert. Viewers know that while Aaron appears loyal to John for now, he remains dangerously unaware of John’s darkest secret—John accidentally killed Nate Robinson while trying to “save” him. It’s only a matter of time before Aaron’s world unravels again. But off-screen? Danny is basking in peace and gratitude. The actor, who made his Emmerdale debut as Aaron in 2008, has tackled countless emotionally wrenching scenes over the years—from struggles with identity to heartbreak and loss. And yet, fans say his latest real-life post shows more joy than even his happiest fictional moment. Holding his wife, with children clinging to his side and a newborn in their arms, Danny’s happiness is radiant. Just days earlier, Danny had posted a heartwarming welcome to the newest member of the family: “Welcome Vincent Miller. Born 10/07/25, Weighing 8lb 8oz. We could not be happier with our family of 5.” The video of Albert and Edith meeting their baby brother for the first time only added to the emotional impact—brother and sister walking hand-in-hand toward their mum, their eyes filled with curiosity and wonder. The response online was overwhelming. Fans flooded the comments with love: “Gorgeous wee family, it’s heartwarming to see”, one wrote. Another added, “Love watching your family grow.” And perhaps the most touching message of all came from Danny himself, just days before: “Never in my life did I think I’d find happiness of this level… so here’s a picture to describe it for me.” While Aaron Dingle may be on the verge of heartbreak, Danny Miller is living a chapter filled with love, legacy, and new beginnings. It’s a beautiful reminder that even when fiction brings tears, real life can offer peace.
