The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of May 12, 2025 | Y&R Update
The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of May 12, 2025, are here! Fans can expect to find out Cole Howard’s (J. Eddie Peck) diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) have a nasty feud. Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up next week in the CBS soap opera.
Cole Howard’s Diagnosis
Let’s begin with Cole, who keeps coughing but is hoping it’s just a cold. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) urged him to see a doctor. Cole did just that and has been waiting for test results.
It’s looking more and more like Cole is going to be given a deadly diagnosis. So, this will leave Victoria and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) devastated.
Tessa Porter’s Confrontation
Over with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), she is keeping a secret from Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks). Fans don’t know what the secret is yet, but Mariah seems convinced Tessa will leave her if she ever finds out the truth.
Mariah isn’t very good at deception or keeping secrets. So, Tessa is already suspicious. This could eventually lead Tessa to confront her wife.
Sally Spectra’s Feud
The Young and the Restless spoilers for next week reveal that Sally and Chelsea will get into a heated argument.
Chelsea just learned that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) wants Newman Media to do another hit piece on Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).
While Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) will try to do damage control with Chelsea, it could also cause issues with Sally!
Adam keeps saying Victor gave the orders, but Chelsea will think he should stand up to his father. Chelsea could feel compelled to warn Billy as well.
Week of May 12, 2025
It is also teased that Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) will blow up. This likely comes after Victor makes another power play against Kyle. Once that happens, it will leave room for Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) to make a bold move.
That should become easier for Audra once Claire learns about Cole’s sickness. Claire will spend more time with her parents and less with Kyle, giving Audra an opportunity.
However, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) could have growing concerns about Audra’s deal with Victor. There is also Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), who doesn’t trust Audra. Lily also noticed the looks between Audra and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens).

Speaking of Lily, what comes after she makes a shocking business deal? Lily is acting all high and mighty now, but something tells me she’s going to get humbled very soon.
