‘The Young and the Restless’ spoilers have teased Bella’s (Cali May Kinder) paternity since Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) brought her to Genoa City earlier this year. Rumors persist among connected characters on the show and within the audience as to paternity matters. Sometimes the simplest story is correct, which means that Billy (Jason Thompson) will be revealed as Bella’s father.
The stage has been cleared for this storyline to play out in the New Year. First, the generally disliked ‘Philly’ arc was ended. Victoria (Amelia Heinle) kicked her temporary fiance Travis (Michael Roark) out, which stopped ‘Tricky’ and appeared to open the door to another ‘Villy’ reunion. However, Vickie’s rejection of Billy’s Christmas day offer means that he has an open path to interactions with different characters.

Hendrickson voluntarily exited the cast in 2014 after the epic ‘Delia (Sophie Pollono) Dies’ plot played out. Prior to departing, Chloe took an unauthorized sample of Billy’s DNA. The grief-stricken mother had convinced herself that the only way she could overcome her sorrow was to replace her deceased daughter.
Chloe knew that Billy wouldn’t agree to such a scenario, so she used her creative powers and easily stole what should have been a secured sample. The character was also seen at a later date, prior to Hendrickson’s official return to the cast this year, which teased the current paternity mystery.
Timing has always indicated that Billy, not Kevin (Greg Rikaart), is Bella’s father. In recent months, when asked by both parties mentioned, Chloe advised that Bella’s father was someone she met while in California. That tidbit is either a bright red herring, or it’s true.
However, it remains unknown as to whether Chloe actually has scientific proof of her second-born daughter’s genetic link. Regardless of whether she did meet someone on the left coast, what matters are Bella’s DNA test results. Surely that evidence, either already possessed or to be gained, will shift rumors about this engaging storyline. As to when this climax will happen and how Chloe explains herself at the time, well, that’s the soapy game.
