Young and the Restless Spoilers: Daniel Romalotti Weighs Leaving Arabesque for Devon Winters’s College

DEVON OFFERS DANIEL ROMALOTTI A WAY OUT OF PHYLLIS’S WAR ON VICTOR

TL;DR: Young and the Restless spoilers: Devon offers Daniel Romalotti the graphic arts chair at his new college, just after Daniel tells Phyllis her war on Victor is a mess. He hasn’t said yes. Our call: he doesn’t quit Wednesday, but the chair is waiting for Phyllis’s next mistake.

Devon Offers Daniel the Graphic Arts Chair at His New College

Is Daniel leaving Arabesque for Devon’s college? That’s the question in Young and the Restless spoilers this week, because Devon Winters (Bryton James) just offered Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) a way out from under his mother, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). In Tuesday’s episode, already seen in Canada, Devon asks Daniel to chair graphic arts at the Neil Winters College of Arts and Humanities. Daniel doesn’t say yes. He doesn’t say no, either.

He isn’t the only recruit. Tuesday’s listing in this week’s spoilers says only that Traci receives a special request. It’s the same pitch: Devon asks Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) to lead creative writing, and she promises to think it over. Classes don’t start until next fall.

Daniel’s offer comes over drinks at Society. He vents that everything with Phyllis turns into winning and revenge, and he wonders whether he chose wrong. Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) tells him he never struck her as the corporate type and suggests Devon hire him, and Devon admits it was his idea first. Daniel brings up his history with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), Devon says everyone has moved on, and Daniel says his new job complicates things, but he promises to be in touch.

Daniel Told Phyllis to Hire a Chief Revenge Officer Before Devon Ever Asked

The offer lands an hour after Daniel walks out on his mother. At the athletic club, Phyllis wants Arabesque to chase only the properties Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) wants, the same war she has been funding with Victor’s own money. Daniel thinks the business model is a mess. He tells her that her next hire should be a Chief Revenge Officer, and he leaves.

When he comes back, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) are still fighting over the lounge for Valentine’s Day while Phyllis enjoys the show. Daniel scolds her for using the company as a weapon. Phyllis shrugs and leaves the whole fight to him. As our Tuesday day-ahead put it, the man who was offered another job an hour earlier is left wondering how this became his problem.

Devon Is Now Courting the Man Lily Fired

Here’s the part nobody is saying out loud. In March 2024, Lily fired Daniel Romalotti from his gaming job at Chancellor-Winters after learning he had cheated, and she told him she and Devon had spoken. Now Devon wants him running a department. Daniel and Lily go back much further than that, too. They eloped as teenagers in 2006 and split in 2007.

Devon didn’t name Daniel when he announced the college on August 11. He first said he hoped to get Traci and Daniel on October 26, two weeks after Daniel became co-CEO of Arabesque. So Devon is trying to hire away Phyllis’s own son, and the man she trusts to run her company, right in the middle of her war on Victor.

Is Daniel Leaving Arabesque for Devon’s Neil Winters College on Young and the Restless?

Not this week. No spoiler says Daniel quits Arabesque or accepts the chair. Wednesday’s listing reads, “Nikki and Diane force Daniel to make a tough decision,” and that decision is the lounge booking, not the job. One spoiler site guesses he might quit on the spot, but it labels that a guess. And on Monday, when Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) wondered whether he was bailing, Daniel Romalotti said he wasn’t and that he can handle his mother.

Fans are already rooting for the exit. During Monday’s episode, one viewer noted “Michael trying to encourage Daniel to escape Arabesque ASAP,” and another fan wrote that Daniel seems to be wondering if he made a mistake. On November 7, one fan predicted he would appeal to his mother and “be let down once again.” Phyllis isn’t winning the room either, because in a thread about the new writers, the most-upvoted reply reads, “Phyllis needs a brand new character change.”

Put it all together and the timeline says Daniel can afford to wait. Wednesday’s fight is about a room for Valentine’s Day, the college doesn’t open its classrooms until next fall, and the same Devon who once helped show him the door is holding this one open. Every tough call Phyllis dumps on her son makes that chair look better.

Should Daniel quit his mother for Devon’s college? Leave your answer in the comments.

Daniel Stays at Arabesque for Now, and Devon’s Chair Waits for Phyllis’s Next Mistake

Here’s where I land. Daniel Romalotti doesn’t quit on Wednesday. He settles the lounge fight, because that is the job Phyllis handed him. But the chair stays open, and my gut tells me he takes it the day Phyllis turns Arabesque on someone he loves. When that happens, Devon won’t have to ask twice.

Team Devon says Daniel is an artist, not a corporate guy. Team Phyllis says family sticks together. Pick your side on our Facebook page.
