‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers Friday, May 23: Lauren’s Crisis, Victor’s Dire Warning, Diane Frets

The Young and the Restless spoilers are in for Friday, May 23, 2025. In tomorrow’s episode, fans can expect Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) to have a crisis.

Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) gives Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) a dire warning. Plus, Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters) frets about Kyle Abbott’s (Michael Mealor) decisions.

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!
