The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nick’s Desperate Search for Sharon – Phyllis and Billy’s Dangerous Gamble!

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Tuesday, January 7, reveal that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will make a vow to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and try to ease her mind about this whole Ian Ward (Ray Wise) situation.

Nikki will remain on high alert, but Victor will promise he’s going to protect her no matter what!

Of course, that same vow will go for the rest of the Newman clan as well.

Victor will assure Nikki that he won’t let Ian cause any more harm, but she’ll fret over what Ian is capable of.

Nikki will worry about Victor’s safety too, but he’ll do his best to convince her that everything’s going to be fine.

Although Ian has more tricks up his sleeve, Victor will make a prediction about being able to handle him.

Over with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), he’ll decide he can’t just sit around and wait for updates on Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) whereabouts.

Nick will want to be more proactive, so he’ll resolve to hunt for Sharon himself.

The longer Sharon is missing, the worse things could get for her. That’s why Nick will act fast and hope he can get to the bottom of all this before it’s too late.

While Nick’s frantic search is underway, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will have big news for Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).

Although Phyllis has gone back and forth on whether she’ll team up against Victor, she’ll make a firm decision now.

Phyllis is on the verge of making a risky deal with Billy, so she may finally go all in on helping him with his Chancellor plot.

Since Phyllis has decided to let the cops do their jobs when it comes to the Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) investigation, she could use a way to distract herself.

However, Y&R fans can expect Phyllis to be a bad influence on Billy once the action heats up.

Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) may have some concerns about this partnership and the trouble that’s on the horizon.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Billy will be torn between the good guy Sally wants him to be and the worst impulses that Phyllis brings out!
