Spoilers and sneak peeks at ‘The Young and the Restless’ for next week

There are many things going on in the fictional Genoa City on “The Young and the Restless” and it seems just about everyone is keeping some kind of secret. It remains to be seen how all these secrets will impact the residents of Genoa City, but what happens next week may long-term consequences.

According to an email from a source for "The Young and the Restless" on May 24 , Victoria Newman has her sights set on bringing down half-brother Adam Newman, but Victoria also has her sights set on having a baby with hunky hubby Billy Abbott. But which does she want more? To deflect her indecision, Victoria accuses Billy of not wanting a baby.

Billy Abbott is keeping a secret of his own from his own from Victoria. Billy has been bitten by the gambling bug again. Billy does want to have a baby with Victoria, he is trying to step away from his gambling addiction, but brother-in-law Adam Newman keeps egging him on. Billy wants Victoria to walk away from Newman Enterprises and focus on their family. If Victoria can step away from Newman Enterprises can Billy give up gambling?

Meanwhile, Adam is keeping Billy’s gambling addiction and the role he plays in it a secret. All the signs point to Adam using that information to destroy Victoria and Billy’s marriage while also driving Victoria out of Newman Enterprises.
