The tension in Genoa City is reaching new heights as The Young and the Restless gears up for one of its most gripping storylines yet. In a

shocking twist that no fan saw coming, Mariah Copeland has gone missing — and her partner, Tessa Porter, is now in a desperate race

against time to find her. The latest spoilers reveal that Tessa will take matters into her own hands and chase down the mysterious man responsible for Mariah’s kidnapping. But what she uncovers along the way could change everything.

 

 

Mariah’s Sudden Disappearance

It all begins when Mariah vanishes without a trace. At first, everyone assumes she simply needed some time away — after all, she’s been under immense emotional strain lately. But as the hours turn into days, concern grows. Her phone is off, she hasn’t used her credit cards, and no one has seen her leave town.

 

 

Tessa, who knows Mariah better than anyone, immediately senses that something is terribly wrong. Despite reassurances from Sharon and Devon, she can’t shake the feeling that Mariah didn’t leave by choice.

Spoilers reveal that Tessa will soon receive a chilling clue — a cryptic message that leads her to suspect Mariah may have been kidnapped. And when she finds evidence that points to a strange man following Mariah in the days before she vanished, Tessa’s fear turns to fury.

Tessa Takes Matters Into Her Own Hands

 

 

The usually calm and collected Tessa transforms into a woman on a mission. Determined to find Mariah no matter the cost, she refuses to wait for the police or for Victor Newman’s resources to kick in. Instead, she decides to track down the kidnapper herself.

Upcoming Young and the Restless episodes show Tessa retracing Mariah’s final steps — revisiting Crimson Lights, the music studio, and even the Newman ranch. Along the way, she questions anyone who might have seen something unusual.

 

 

Her search takes a dramatic turn when she spots a shadowy figure near an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Genoa City — a place Mariah once mentioned in passing during a conversation with Devon. Could this be the same man who took her?

The answer comes in a heart-pounding scene where Tessa finally confronts the mysterious stranger.

The Mysterious Man — A Face from the Past?

Fans are buzzing with theories about the kidnapper’s identity. According to leaks from the set, this man may not be a random criminal but someone connected to Mariah and Tessa’s past.

Some believe it could be someone tied to Tessa’s old music career — a former producer or fan with a dangerous obsession. Others suspect it may have something to do with Mariah’s connection to the Newman family and the secretive world of corporate revenge that constantly looms over Genoa City.

What’s clear is that this man knows more about Mariah than any stranger should. When Tessa confronts him, spoilers hint at a chilling exchange where he tells her, “You shouldn’t have come looking for her. You don’t understand what’s at stake.”

Those words send shivers down Tessa’s spine — and fans’ too.

Sharon and Devon Join the Search

As news spreads of Tessa’s dangerous pursuit, Sharon and Devon grow increasingly worried. Sharon pleads with Tessa not to put herself in harm’s way, but Tessa refuses to stand down. “If the police won’t find her, I will,” she declares, showcasing the fierce love and loyalty that has made her and Mariah one of Y&R’s most beloved couples.

Devon, who has always had a deep bond with Mariah, steps in to help. Using his connections, he manages to uncover surveillance footage of a vehicle near where Mariah disappeared. That vehicle, it turns out, is registered to a man who once worked for a Newman rival.

Could the kidnapping be part of a larger scheme targeting the Newmans — and Mariah was simply caught in the crossfire?

A Dangerous Confrontation

Tessa’s determination leads her to a dark confrontation. In an upcoming scene, spoilers tease that she will break into an isolated cabin after following the kidnapper’s trail. Inside, she finds signs that Mariah has been held there — a piece of her clothing, a broken phone, and even a familiar lullaby playing on repeat.
