FRIDAY Y&R CANADIAN DAY-AHEAD! Michael Baldwin Is About to Betray Victor Newman

MICHAEL BALDWIN CONSIDERS STEALING VICTOR NEWMAN’S DEADLY AI PROGRAM FOR THE ABBOTTS!

TL;DR: Canadian Young and the Restless fans, Michael Baldwin is seriously considering betraying Victor Newman to help the Abbotts steal that dangerous AI program! Plus, Claire throws water in Audra’s face, and Kyle makes a life-changing decision. Friday, December 26 is DRAMA!

Michael Plots To Steal Victor’s AI Program

Well, well, WELL! Michael Baldwin has officially reached the crossroads of his career, and he’s about to make a choice that could blow up his entire life! After Diane begged him to help get the AI program away from Victor Newman, Michael is actually CONSIDERING it. And honestly? Lauren is totally on board with the idea!

At Crimson Lights, Michael confesses to Lauren that he’s genuinely thinking about crossing Victor to help the Abbotts. The happy couple both HATE the threat that Victor’s AI program poses to Genoa City, and Lauren reminds her husband that he’s been wanting to broker peace in this town. But stealing from The Great Victor Newman? That’s not exactly a peacekeeping mission!

Lauren knows nobody else can get as close to Victor as her husband can. She suggests that if Michael does this, he needs to do it in a way that Victor NEVER finds out about his involvement. But let’s be real, when has ANYTHING stayed secret in Genoa City for long?

Michael Baldwin knows he would suffer Victor’s wrath forever if his betrayal is discovered. He tells Lauren he must get closer to Victor than ever before. Lauren warns him ominously that there may be no coming back from this. And she’s probably RIGHT! Victor doesn’t forgive, and he certainly doesn’t forget!

Claire Throws Water In Audra’s Face At Society

Meanwhile at Society, the drama between Claire and Audra reaches a BOILING point! Claire Newman is having lunch with her new friend Holden when Kyle shows up and learns they have plans together. You can practically SEE the jealousy radiating off Kyle as he realizes Claire is moving on!

Kyle makes a hasty exit, telling Claire that things just weren’t meant to be with them. But that’s not even the BEST part of this scene! Audra has been eavesdropping from around the corner like the messy queen she is, and she approaches Holden to ask about his little girlfriend.

Claire returns and asks how any of this concerns Audra. Big mistake, Audra! She accuses Claire of being heartless about playing two men. And what does Claire do? She grabs a cup of water and THROWS it right in Audra’s face! Yes, you read that right. Claire just gave Audra Charles a face full of H2O, and honestly, it was a long time coming!

Kyle Abbott Makes A Life-Changing Decision

Over at Billy’s place, Jack and Billy are strategizing about the war with Victor. Billy isn’t convinced they can count on Nikki to betray her husband, but Jack believes their longtime friend is ready to stand up for what’s right. They’re coming at this from all fronts, and they agree to destroy that dangerous software once they get their hands on it.

Later, Sally arrives and tells them about her run in with Chelsea and Adam at the GCAC. Jack is devastated that Adam is betraying their friendship by letting Victor use Newman Media as an attack weapon against the Abbott family.

But the REAL drama is happening at the Abbott mansion, where Kyle sits alone in thought. When Jack arrives home, Kyle tells his father that he’s just made a decision to change his life. What could it be? Is he going back to LA to fight for Claire? Is he joining Victor’s side? We’ll have to wait and see!

Drop your thoughts in the comments! Will Michael actually betray Victor? And did Claire make a new enemy in Audra?
