Genoa City is about to be shaken to its core once again, as The Young and the Restless delivers one of the most jaw-dropping twists in

years. In an upcoming explosive storyline, Cane Ashby stumbles upon evidence that could rewrite Newman family history forever — Nick Newman may not actually be Victor’s son.

 

 

The revelation, buried for decades beneath layers of deception, blackmail, and family secrets, threatens to destroy the Newman empire and divide one of soap’s most iconic families. And with Cane in possession of the truth, the question is: what will he do with it?

🔥 The Discovery That Changes Everything

 

 

The drama begins when Cane (Daniel Goddard) returns to Genoa City to help Jill with a mysterious legal issue involving Chancellor-Winters. While reviewing some archived business documents linked to old Newman Enterprises acquisitions, he uncovers something shocking — a sealed paternity report dated decades ago, listing Nicholas Newman as the subject.

 

 

At first, Cane assumes it’s nothing more than a clerical error. But the more he reads, the more the pieces begin to fit together. The report contains one crucial note: “Subject shares no genetic markers with Victor Newman.”

“This… this can’t be right,” Cane mutters in disbelief. “If this is real, it changes everything.”

Cane decides to dig deeper, and what he uncovers next will send longtime fans reeling.

🧬 The Secret Hidden in Plain Sight

According to Y&R spoilers, Cane traces the report back to Dr. Kurt Dellinger, a now-retired physician who worked at Memorial Hospital in Genoa City during the early years of Victor and Nikki’s relationship. The doctor confirms that the report was legitimate — and that someone paid him handsomely to keep it buried.

That someone? Victor Newman himself.

In a tense phone call scene teased for next week’s episode, Cane confronts the aging doctor, who reluctantly reveals the truth:

“Victor knew the results, Cane. He knew Nick wasn’t his biological son… but he raised him as one anyway.”

Cane is floored. For years, Victor and Nick’s father-son bond — though often complicated — has been the emotional foundation of Newman family power. But if this truth comes out, everything Victor has built could crumble overnight.

💔 Nick’s True Father Revealed

The biggest question now looms: if Victor isn’t Nick’s real father, then who is?

According to Y&R insiders, the answer is someone very familiar — and very unexpected. Spoilers hint that Jack Abbott might be the biological father of Nick Newman.
