‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers Monday December 26: Hilary and Mariah’s Feud Heats Up – Nick Gives Dylan a Warning – Nikki Excited About Future

“The Young and the Restless” spoilers for Monday, December 26, tease that Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Sharon (Sharon Case) will talk about Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) generous Christmas present. Sharon and Dylan (Steve Burton) were given a brief visit with Christian in Friday’s episode. Nikki will think this could mark a new beginning for her sons.

Monday’s preview video shows Nikki saying, “Nicholas made a beautiful gesture…one that I’m sure will help he and his brother get closer together.”

Nikki couldn’t care less about Sharon’s happiness. She feels like Sharon should be left out of the love fest. Nikki might believe it was unfortunate that Sharon benefited from Nick’s holiday generosity.

Elsewhere, we’ll see some tension between Dylan and Nick as well. After Dylan thanks Nick for giving them some time with Christian, he’ll get some harsh words in return. Nick will contend that this was a one-shot deal. He won’t want Dylan to think it was an invitation to change the rules.

In other words, Dylan and Sharon shouldn’t expect it to be like Christmas every day. Nick was being nice over the holidays, but he has no plans to give them regular visitation. Dylan and Sharon won’t be pleased, but Nick seems to be sticking to his guns. He doesn’t want Christian to be confused about who his father is.

Of course, Y&R fans know that Adam (Justin Hartley) is the real “baby daddy.” Since “The Young and the Restless” isn’t going to reveal that anytime soon, Nick may remain belligerent for a while. He’s drawn a line in the sand and he’s in charge of when it’s crossed. Holidays might be the only time Nick will cave in.

At GC Buzz, Hilary will come strutting in with an arrogant attitude. That’s just an average day on set when Hilary is around! She’ll throw Mariah out of her chair and insist that she’s back in charge. You can bet that Hilary will put Mariah through miserable conditions now that she’s the host again.

Mariah will start putting together some clues that prove Hilary was behind her live tumble. Y&R rumors hint that Mariah may want a taste of revenge. We’ll give you updates as more news emerges.
