The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, December 19, 2025, have Jack interfering with Victor and Nikki's relationship, Diane turns to Michael for help, and Nick and Matt Clark's rivalry takes a dangerous turn.
What's next on The Young and the Restless
Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) isn't one to take Victor Newman's (Eric Braeden) attack on Jabot Cosmetics or his family lying down. He's been working overtime to make sure that the Abbott clan combats the Newman Media hit piece on Jabot.
On Friday's show, watch for Jack to strike back where it hurts. He's going to interfere with Victor and Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott) relationship. Ironically, this is where Victor's latest feud with Jack all began. In his mind, Victor blames Jack for trying to help Nikki when she was trying not to fall off the wagon. Victor might not admit this, but he likely wanted to be the one to help Nikki.
Legal advice
Diane (Susan Walters) and Michael (Christian LeBlanc) have a long-running friendship, dating back to when Michael represented Diane in her divorce against Victor. The two have had their ups and downs over the years, but what friendship hasn't?
On Friday's show, watch for Diane to reach out to Michael for help. Will she seek out legal advice? If so, Michael will be conflicted as he's back in Victor's camp and Diane's family, the Abbotts, are under fire from the mogul. However, Michael and Diane are friends. We can envision Michael coming up with a way to help his longtime pal without necessarily betraying his boss.
And in this corner
On Friday's show, watch for Nicholas (Joshua Morrow) and Matt's (Roger Howarth) rivalry to take a dangerous turn. Longtime Y&R viewers recall that Nick and Matt have had many brawls over the years, including one that drew blood at Crimson Lights!
Trending
What kind of dangerous turn could the dynamic between these two men take? We're guessing it's going ot be a physical one! Nick will do anything it takes to keep his family safe. He believes that Matt likely played a role in his son Noah's (Lucas Adams) car "accident" in Los Angeles. Nick is not going to stand by and let Matt hurt his family.
