The Young and the Restless celebrates its 45th anniversary this week. The storyline twists began last week when Victor (Eric Breaden) confronted J.T. (Thad Luckinbill) for abusing Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and spying on Newman Enterprises, which resulted in a huge fight that climaxed with Victor falling down the stairs at the Newman Ranch. Jack (Peter Bergman) was seen getting drunk at the Athletic Club and arguing with Ashley (Eileen Davidson) about Victor. Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) gave into a passionate kiss while Dina (Marla Adams) revealed to Abby (Melissa Ordway) that John is not Jack’s biological father.

On Friday’s episode (Canadian episode on Global; airs Monday on CBS), Jack found an injured Victor on the floor of the ranch, while J.T. escaped and returned to Victoria’s place. Abby told Ashley about Dina’s confession, but Ashley insists it is untrue and is “just the disease talking.” Before calling 9-1-1 to report Victor’s injury, Jack steals documents and a hard drive from Victor’s office and goes through it. Once he is questioned by Paul (Doug Davidson) about finding Victor, Jack returns to the Abbott Mansion where he tells Ashley and Abby about Victor’s condition. Once they leave and join the other Newmans at the hospital, Jack goes over Victor’s hard drive and finds emails between Victor and Kyle (Michael Mealor debuts this week in the role).
This week on The Young and the Restless: Jill (Jess Walton) gives Billy (Jason Thompson) on Monday (March 27; Canadian airdates listed throughout).
