According to Swooon, several favorites in Genoa City will find themselves in the midst of relationships and romance in the coming weeks.

We know that Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) is determined to track down the mystery of exactly what happened with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), her wife, when she was away on a trip last summer.

The show previews that Tessa and Mariah's relationship will be "tested." We know that Mariah shared with Tessa that she almost killed someone, and that is why she's had to go away. Tessa, however, is determined to get to the bottom of what exactly happened with Mariah. She's not going on this quest alone, fortunately. Daniel (Michael Graziadei), her prized guitar student, is going with her!

Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell) and Danny Romalotti's (Michael Damian) big day is approaching! The couple is all set to walk down the aisle and re-tie the knot! Before the ceremony, there's going to be a bachelor party for the groom and a bachelorette party for the bride!

Watch for those gatherings to take unexpected turns. Does this mean Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) will try to crash either or both galas?

But wait...there's more

There's a lot of tension between Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). Something went on in their past, but neither has gotten too specific about it. Watch for Holden and Audra to share details about their past.

Will what happened affect Holden's budding friendship with Claire (Hayley Erin) or Audra's hopes for a reunion with Nate (Sean Dominic)?

Phyllis has been at odds lately. She has been focused on her career and has seen Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) as the person who will help her gain some respectability from Genoa City's business elite. However, Phyllis has been without a relationship for some time. She has fond feelings for her ex, Nick (Joshua Morrow), but, according to Y&R, Sally is going to find romance with an unexpected suitor!

Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) have managed to beat the odds, and the couple recently reconciled both in business and in pleasure -- tentatively, that is. Can the couple survive as they continue to intertwine their professional and their personal lives?
