Young & Restless’ Christel Khalil Is Maternity-Leaving: When Will Lily Be Back?

The Young and the Restless’ Cane is going to have to find something to do besides pant after former wife Lily for a while: Her portrayer Christel Khalil is taking off on her maternity leave.

In the January 7 episode of the soap (recapped here), Lily explained that she was flying out of Genoa City and intended to spend a month or so visiting her and Cane’s kids, Charlie and Mattie. Well, and getting away from his relentless pursuit of her!

 

Young & Restless' Christel Khalil Is Maternity-Leaving: When Will Lily Be  Back?

 

The news comes as particularly bad for the erstwhile Aristotle Dumas, as he’d begun to think that he was finally getting somewhere with Lily. He’s passionate entreaties had even resulted in a tender kiss on New Year’s Eve.

Actually, the timing could prove to be crummy for Lily, too. No sooner does she tell Cane that she’s outta there than his sometime lover Phyllis is whispering in his ear and encouraging him to indulge his dark side again — something of which his ex certainly wouldn’t approve!

By the time Lily comes back in a few weeks, Cane could be wearing a black hat instead of his usual gray!

It was back in October that word began to spread that Khalil and husband Sam Restagno were expecting their second child together. The couple’s firstborn, son Remy, turns 2 in March. Michael Caden, Khalil’s son with first spouse Stephen Hensley, will be 16 in April.

Between the events of Friday’s episode of Young and Restless and the preview of what’s to come, we may finally be looking at the end of both Matt Clark and the AI program! Unfortunately for ‘Teriah” fans, it may also be the end of this couple!

With Mariah pushing her wife away for months and Tessa growing closer to Daniel, who was still in pain from losing Heather, it was no surprise when the friends became lovers. Now it seems that Tessa and Mariah’s marriage is really over.

Coming up, Tessa breaks down and tells Sharon, “I just… I can’t keep doing this anymore. It’s too hard.” Sharon is stunned and tries to comprehend what she’s being told… But should it really come as a surprise?

Will the Dreaded AI Self-Destruct?
Victor took a momentary break in plotting Jack and Jabot’s end to deal with the Matt Clark drama. And while he was busy saving his family, Michael and Nikki schemed to get their hands on the AI program and frame Cane, the Abbotts got their hands on Matt Clark and tried to make a deal with the Newmans, and Cane confided in Phyllis that there was a way to turn the AI against its host.

Finally, has Victor finally been beaten for once? Phyllis, with Cane behind her, tells the tycoon, “Newman Enterprises is ours… and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do about it.” Please tell us the AI takes itself out while bringing down Victor! (It’s the new Reliquary, and we weren’t nuts about the old one!)
