The Young and the Restless spoilers document that one person who isn’t currently suspected of being Heather Stevens’ (Vail Bloom) killer in Genoa City, Wisconsin, is the tortured teenager Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant).

Stop for a moment and reread the above, if necessary. Then, after reconsidering, ask a question. Is Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) the only character who has been suffering from mental health issues recently? Then, ask another question. Did Lucy have the opportunity to commit this heinous criminal act?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Daniel Romalotti Can’t See This Possibility

Daytime writers can make any plot path work. So, Daniel and Lucy were separated from Heather on the night in question.

Heather returned to the apartment and found Sharon inside. She questioned her. Heather intended to call the police, but Sharon knocked the phone Bloom’s character was using out of her hands.

The Young and The Restless spoilers and rumors tease little girl Lucy Romalotti’s (Lily Brooks O’Briant) going through some major changes since entering her teenage years. Longtime viewers know that Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) isn’t Lucy’s birth mom-Daisy Carter (Yvonne Zima) is, and Lucy’s maternal grandparents carry some very bad genes!

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Lucy Romalotti’s Maternal Grandparents

Of course it depends upon whether one believes in nature, or nurture, but there seems to be signs of Lucy acting like her maternal grandmother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).

Even though Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Heather, more Heather than Daniel, raised Lucy the best they could to instill a sense of self-worth, it doesn’t seem to have taken.

Lucy seems to have an almost maniacal need for the acceptance of others, and pushes the envelope to be accepted unconditionally, and doesn’t feel she already is.

The Young and The Restless spoilers for the week of August 5 reveal although there aren’t any goings, there are some comings.

Linden Ashby continues his killer return as a hallucination, Judah Mackey returns as troubled child Connor Newman, and Lily Brooks O’Briant stirs up some teen trouble as Lucy Romalotti.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Cameron Kirsten’s Killer Return

Linden actually showed up on Friday, August 2 but continues haunting Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) in her hallucinations.

Viewers will recall that Kirsten originally appeared from 2003-2004 in a very intense storyline, where Nick Newman (Joshua Newman) pushed Kirsten out of an airplane, supposedly to his death.

In 2023 it was revealed he was very much alive, yet he manipulated her into believing he was a ghost.

In a shocking twist, he later disclosed that he had survived and proceeded to abduct both Nick and Sharon.

The Emmys’ In Memoriam segment Sunday left out a number of actors we lost in 2020, but the Television Academy hasn’t entirely overlooked them. Nick Cordero, Chi Chi DeVayne, Kobe Bryant, Shelley Morrison, Honor Blackman, and soap actors Roscoe Born, John Callahan, Marj Dusay and John Karlen are among the many names included in a more comprehensive roster on the Academy’s website.

Some of the names, including Morrison, actress Kelly Preston and Saturday Night Live‘s music producer Hal Willner, were represented in a not-particularly easy-to-read memorial segment during the Creative Arts ceremonies last week (see it below) but didn’t make the shorter roster on the Emmys broadcast Sunday.
