The Young and The Restless Spoilers

Nikki’s condition takes an unexpected turn in these THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS spoilers! As Genoa City celebrates the holidays with family, Reed looks ready to make a confession to the cops as Nikki’s family realize that she has gone missing!

“Merry Christmas, Genoa City!” Mariah declares on air at GC Buzz TV. “The holidays are for family. And that’s what we are. We’re family now.” Unfortunately, the Newman family is coming together at the holidays to sit vigil and pray for the recovery of one of their own as Nikki lays comatose in her hospital bed after being hit by a car. “What are you doing here?” Victoria asks someone as she looks up from her mother’s bedside.

Outside, in the hospital corridor, a guilt-ridden Reed approaches Rey. “I’m Reed Hellstrom,” he informs the cop before tentatively asking, “Can I talk to you about something?” Will the young man finally make an official confession that he was the one driving the car that hit Nikki on that dark and snowy night?

But even as Nikki’s family spends Christmas at the hospital as the woman lays on the verge of death, there is a very surprising development in her condition — she disappears! “Yes, I need to report a missing person,” Nick says into his phone as Phyllis looks on. And when Victoria joins them, her brother offers his theory as to what’s really going on. “Vic, mom didn’t get out of this bed on her own,” he insists. “Someone kidnapped her!”

Victor returned to Genoa City to be with his beloved in her time of need, but did he whisk the patient out of the hospital? What is really going on? Check out this tease for the dramatic week to come and for more Y&R previews, keep reading the CBS edition of Soaps In Depth magazine!
