The CBS daytime drama
The Young and the Restless
will feature a dedicated romantic episode later this month.
Centered around three key power couple dynamics from the soap opera, the special episode set for May 21, 2025, aims to honor their long-lasting love stories.
Victor Newman (
Eric Braeden
) and Nikki Newman (
Melody Thomas Scott
They will commemorate their enduring, tumultuous relationship known throughout time as they convey optimism that those close to them might eventually experience long-lasting love themselves.
Victor and Nikki have had an up-and-down relationship ever since their initial meeting back in 1981. Through various challenges such as additional relationships, parenting, health problems, and even incarceration, both of them managed to navigate these obstacles and stay committed to one another. They’ve raised two kids jointly—Victoria and Nicholas—and now enjoy being grandparents to ten little ones: Cassie Newman, Noah Newman, Claire Grace, Summer Newman, Reed Hellstrom, Faith Newman, Johnny Abbott, Katie Newman, Connor Newman, and Christian Newman.
In the meantime, Victor’s lawyer, Michael Baldwin,
Christian J. LeBlanc
) demonstrates to his wife Lauren Fenmore (
Tracey E. Bregman
) that there isn’t anything more significant than their relationship.
Michael and Lauren started their journey together way back in 2005. Even though they had experienced affection before, it took finding one another for them to grasp the true essence of love. Their bond has been intricate at times, yet today, they remain more united than ever. They also share custody of their grown-up child, Fenmore Baldwin.
In another part of the story, Victor’s rival Jack Abbott (
Peter Bergman)
stuns his long-time partner Diane Jenkins
Susan Walters
with a special present to commemorate and express gratitude for her efforts in refurbishing the Abbott Mansion.
Jack and Diane’s journey as a couple started all the way back in 1982. Their bond has been tested severely due to Jack’s recurring issues with fidelity, which have posed significant challenges for them. Despite these obstacles, they keep finding their way back into each other’s lives repeatedly. Most recently, their comeback was so intense it seemed like they cheated death itself. Together, they also parent a child named Kyle Abbott and boast a grandchild called Harrison Newman-Abbott.
