The Young and the Restless spoilers are in for the week of January 26, 2026. Fans can expect Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) to kidnap Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark). Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) does a turnaround.

Plus, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) consoles Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle). Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

 

 

Let’s kick off this post with Mariah. Fans know that the young woman has been battling hallucinations of Ian Ward (Ray Wise). The man is ordering Mariah around and making her do things that are out of character.

Now that Mariah has pushed away Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Aria Porter-Copeland (Millie and Maddie Ingle), she makes her next move.

Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor Missing
Mariah doesn’t just embrace her dark side. The woman outright kidnaps Dominic! Then, the redhead takes the little boy on the road with her, but where are they going? Not only that, but what exactly is Mariah going to do with the little boy?

When Dominic goes missing, Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) is frantic. Devon Winters (Bryton James) appears more frozen than calm. In any case, they will eventually turn to Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) for help. Maybe Mariah’s hang-up call to Abby will be a clue.

Adam Newman’s Conscience
The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of January 26 reveal that Adam will show that he has changed. Adam was pretty stunned by Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) next move.

In a preview clip, Adam tells Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) about it. The woman is mortified about Victor wanting Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and the twins kidnapped.

Later in the week, Adam has a change of heart. Meanwhile, Chelsea opens up to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). Even though Lily has been angry at Nikki for months now, I can’t see the blonde allowing Victor to terrorize children.

What Else to Expect
As for what else to expect, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) frets about Noah Newman’s (Lucas Adams) future.

Victoria tries her best to save her family’s legacy. The brunette will also get some comfort from Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic).

Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) confronts Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and forces his hand.

Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) mulls over a tempting proposition. Meanwhile, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon hold Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) accountable for what she has done.
