YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING BACK A VILLAINESS AND TWO MORE FAMILIAR FACES

TL;DR: This week’s Young and the Restless Comings and Goings bring a notorious villainess out of hiding, a returning face settling into rehab, and a familiar doctor logging more screen time as a surgery storyline builds toward its next chapter.


Young and the Restless Comings and Goings Bring Back a Notorious Villainess

Genoa City’s most dangerous patient is out again. Stacy Haiduk resurfaces as Patty Williams on Friday, August 28, crossing paths with a familiar face from her past. Patty was locked away after stabbing a Genoa City fixture and going after another resident’s life in the process, so her return alone is enough to put the whole town on edge.

A Familiar Face Returns to Rehab

Jade Harlow returns as Marie Kirkland on Wednesday, August 26, settling into rehab alongside another patient currently working through his own recovery there. Harlow is a three-time Daytime Emmy winner who previously played Jessica Bennett on Passions and Sheryl Connors on Days of Our Lives.

A Familiar Doctor Logs More Screen Time

Vivica A. Fox is logging even more screen time as Dr. Stephanie Simmons on Tuesday, August 25, as a Genoa City regular’s decision to return to medicine takes center stage. The storyline has been building for weeks: a hand injury sidelined him from surgery, and Stephanie is the one who tracked down the specialist who could make his comeback possible. With the procedure now on the table, this week puts Stephanie’s role in his recovery front and center.


Which Y&R return has you the most curious this week? Sound off in the comments below!


Which Genoa City Comeback Wins the Week?

A resurfacing villainess, a rehab reunion, and a surgeon’s long-awaited comeback all land in the same week for Young and the Restless. Patty’s return alone would carry a week on its own given her history, but pairing it with Marie settling into the same rehab facility as an already-established recovery storyline, plus Stephanie’s role in a surgery that’s been months in the making, makes this one of the fuller weeks Genoa City has had in a while.

Head to our Facebook page and tell us which return has you the most hooked.
