Here's a clip from the episode:

Forget just this week.

Here's what's coming up for the entire month of November on The Young and the Restless:

• Nick and Sharon are drawn back together in Paris... just as Phyllis plans a surprise visit.

• It's Sharon and Nick versus Michael and Lauren in a battle over the budding romance between their sons, Eden and Noah.

• When Kay helps a long lost friend with a medical problem – even as her family questions her own health – a twist of fate leads to a reversal of fortune for more than one of the show's characters.

• Michael receives a break in River's case that exposes a family secret that sets his world upside down.

• Ashley has a difficult decision to make as she's drawn back to her complicated past.

Lies and warnings about next week on The Young and the Restless...

• Jack lies to Sharon.

• Kevin (Greg Rikaart, pictured) warns Cane about Billy.

• Gloria tries to manipulate Katherine.

• Will Paul help his daughter or protect Nikki?

Michael Gross has become a regular on The Young and the Restless. He plays the character of River.

How did the acting veteran come aboard the number-one rated soap opera on TV? He told Soap Opera Weekly about it.

Soap Opera Weekly: How did you end up on The Young and the Restless?
Michael Gross: The show approached me, as they did several other actors, about coming and doing this role. There was frankly nothing on paper. It was an idea. They came to me and said, "Here's this man. We think we know something about him. We'd like to tell you what we think. We'd like to find out from you if you'd be interested in playing him."

There was nothing to read. There was no audition, per se. This is a man and character that's being created even as we speak. We create him as we go along, which is actually quite exciting. It's like building the first automobile. I feel like Henry Ford, saying, "Will this work?" Each episode is another point in the assembly line.

Here are a few developments you can expect next week on The Young and the Restless...

• River has a stand-off with the police.

• Awkward alert! Amber has a conversation with Daniel (Michael Grazidei, pictured) and his mother.

• Michael goes to extreme lengths to help his dad.

• Viki, Neil and JT devise a plot.

Peter Bergman — who portrayed Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children from 1980 to 1989 - has been united on screen with former All My Children stars Elizabeth Hendrickson and Billy Miller. All three now appear on The Young and the Restless.

The actor recently spoke to Soap Opera Weekly about the development...

Weekly: Have you, Elizabeth and Billy gotten together, sat down and chatted about the Pine Valley experience?
Bergman: We haven't gotten the chance to sit down as a threesome. Individually, I've talked to both of them about life in New York, life on AMC and the transition of moving out to Los Angeles; its difficulties, and how long it takes you to get over it all. It's been fun catching up, hearing about their lives in New York, and how they are adapting to Los Angeles. It's wild being the seasoned expert on this transition.

Weekly: As the "expert," have you given them any pointers about adjusting to West Coast life?
Bergman: Yes. I told them both the object of the game is to live near the Pacific Ocean. I learned this much too late. Elizabeth already has it handled. She'd gotten a convertible Volkswagen and is living at the beach right now.

Lily and Cane are stuck with one another next week on The Young and the Restless...

• Billy discovers that Gloria is Jack's silent partner.

• Lily and Cane (Daniel Goddard) get stuck in an elevator together.

• Victor's activities in Mexico are found out.

• Vikki and Neil plots against Adam.

Next week on The Young and the Restless, Phyllis and Nick encounter some major issues thanks to his ex-wife, Sharon.

"Phyllis calls while they are dealing with Noah and just wants to talk to Nick," Michelle Stafford, who portrays Phyllis, told The New York Daily News. "But Sharon refuses to let her."

On today's episode, meanwhile, Nick and Sharon's teen son, Noah, gets caught partying, so the couples grounds him.

"Phyllis doesn't mind that Nick is in the middle of something and can't talk," Stafford said. "She minds that Sharon gets bitchy: 'What part of no don't you understand?' She instigates a fight, which is easy. Phyllis basically tells her to kiss her a-."

We've got our eye on you, Noah!

Check out this clip from The Young and the Restless to see if a relationship between him and Eden is in the cards...

In November, Michael Damian shows up again on The Young and the Restless. He'll reprise his character of Danny Romalotti, with shooting set to begin for the actor on October 20.

“I haven’t received the scripts yet, so I don’t actually know if I’ll be getting back with Phyllis or if they’re just going to kill me off. I’m just kidding, but you never know!” said Damian about his reprisal.

In the featured interview, Damian went on to answer questions from fans of The Young and the Restless. To wit:

On Gina’s Restaurant: It serves real food made by designers and the flowers on the set are also real; “I have to be careful about not eating a lot at Gina’s, we all nibble, because sometimes a scene takes 16 takes."

On reading scripts: “Always read your script before you come in, one of the characters found out that he was being killed off when he was having his makeup put on!”
