The Young and the Restless Spoilers (Page 3)

After a couple holiday breaks, The Young and the Restless finally returns for a full week's worth of new episodes. Here's what you can expect over the course of them...

• Cane confronts Billy.

• Victoria asks her father about his relationship with Ashley (Eileen Davidson, pictured).

• Jack's therapy goes awry.

• Phyllis is ready to explode!

The calendar is set to turn the page on 2008.

What's in store on The Young and the Restless for 2009? The following video should give fans an idea...

The Young and the Restless is pre-empted for New Year's Day next week. But here's what goes down on the other four episodes of the show...

• Nikki and Victor run into one another.

• Chloe and Esther share an emotional exchange.

• Jill calls the cops on Katherine!

• Jack doles out advice to Billy.

Nikki's ex-husband, Victor, stands her up for Christmas on next week's The Young and the Restless.

"What people forget is that he was very distressed about the path Nikki embarked upon with that David guy," Eric Braeden said to The New York Daily News, referring to Nikki's ex, who killed Victor's new bride, Sabrina, in a car accident.

Victor stiffs his kids, as well.

"The son Nicholas squealed on him and had a business liaison with Jack Abbott. And he has had a tenuous relationship with the daughter [Victoria]," Braeden added.

Therefore, Victor will stay home alone, clutching a picture of the late Sabrina, while the Newmans wait for him.

"He has lost what was dear to him and is moving in a different direction," said Braeden. "He grew up in an orphanage. He's a loner."

While The Young and the Restless will only air three new episodes next week, look for the drama on the show to continue, thanks to the following story lines...

• Victor is set on getting revenge on Smilin' Jack.

• JT is on edge about how the Newmans perceive him.

• Find out what really went down in Mexico.

Hayley Erin has been cast on The Young and the Restless in the role of Abby Carlton.

The 14-year old actress has previously guest-stared on Malcolm in the Middle and Two and a Half Men.

Expect Erin to first appear as Abby in early 2009. Welcome aboard!

Fights and hospital trips highlight next week's developments on The Young and the Restless...

Look for her as a Christmas caroler on December 22.
