12. Daniel Comes Home

Daniel Romalotti, played by actor Michael Graziadei, is heading back to Genoa City soon. With Summer and Kyle’s vow renewal on the horizon, he’ll likely return for that event. However, with everything his mom is going through, will he come back for Summer and Kyle, but stay in town a little longer to support Phyllis?

11. Could Daniel’s Return Cause Chaos?

It’s been a hot minute since fans have seen Daniel. Could he return as the same easy-going guy, or has he changed? Remember when JT Hellstrom returned years back? He was a completely different person! Even Noah recently came back to Genoa City as a more somber version of himself. Will Daniel return with ulterior motives? Could his return cause some chaos?

10. Daniel + Diane?

Crazier things have happened, right? While Diane has her eye on Jack, she’s still a cougar at heart. After all, she seduced Nick Newman at one point, so who’s to say she and Daniel won’t hook up? It’s highly unlikely that they will, but Diane knows that sleeping with Daniel would drive Red up the wall, which might make it worthwhile for Jenkins in the end.

9. Daniel And Lily Bond

Daniel and Lily had an interesting relationship and romance back in the day. Plus, you never forget your first love, right? With Romalotti back in Genoa City, could these two exes connect? They’ll likely catch up at some point, but should Billy be worried? Abbott may have his hands full with other drama in October.

8. Chelsea Continues To Cross A Line

Johnny clearly has zero interest in getting to know Chelsea, but will she take “no” for an answer? Lawson is a con woman at heart. She’ll believe that if given the chance, Johnny would warm up to her instantly. Chelsea will likely try to concoct a scenario in which she “runs into” Johnny. Will he fall for her games?

7. Johnny Gets Out Of Control

Johnny could get out of control in October. He may turn rebellious against his parents, and all of this newfound knowledge could affect his behavior at school. He may also learn more about “how” he came to be, and that could royally mess with his mind. Johnny may also resent Chelsea and Connor. Genoa City is always a flurry of activity, where people run into each other unexpectedly. Will he lash out at Lawson if he sees her? Maybe he’ll start being mean to his little sister, Katie? Then there’s the idea that he could have a confrontation with Connor.

6. Billy Cheats, And Johnny Sees

Chelsea also has her eye on Billy. What if she stumbles across Abbott while he’s drinking and the two get caught up in emotion? What if they do the deed and Johnny sees them, or finds them in the aftermath? Lawson could simply pull in for another kiss and catch Billy off guard, while Johnny sees the entire thing. This is one more development that could cause the poor kid to spiral.

5. Everything Crumbles At Chancellor-Winters

With Nate set to ruin Chancellor-Winters and their IPO venture, everything could fall apart for that company — and fast. Devon was worried this exact scenario would happen, so he may decide to jump ship when everything goes down. He’ll truly resent Nate for his role in it all, but what about Lily? Could this ruin their brother-sister relationship, too? How will Jill react?

4. Could Tucker Save The Day?

Trevor St. John’s debut as Tucker McCall just galvanized Y&R audiences, in no small part because Tucker will slide seamlessly into so many storylines. What if Tucker saves the day for Chancellor-Winters? After all, it’s his mom’s legacy — and his son’s, too! What if he’s able to buy up just enough stock that Newman doesn’t hold the majority? What if he gives this stock directly to Devon and Lily? That is, if his motivations are noble… and that could be a big “if”.

3. Tucker Has His Hands Full

Tucker McCall will certainly have his hands full in the romance department. There’s potentially “something” going on between him and Diane. With Jill in town, these two exes could rekindle their relationship as well. Plus, there’s Ashley to keep in mind. She and Tucker made a fantastic super couple back in the day. With Vic single, there’s also a chance these two could connect.

2. Nate Turns To Imani

Regardless of how the chips fall at Chancellor-Winters, Nate and Elena will likely break up, and Hastings will turn to Imani. These two will dive into a romance (and into bed) very quickly. But will Benedict still be a “dream come true” if Nate loses everything? The Chancellor-Winters team will find out what he’s up to and he’ll be out of a job. Not to mention the fact that there will be no position waiting at Newman Enterprises, if the stock scheme doesn’t pan out.

1. Elena Finds Out She’s Expecting

Elena will be devastated over Nate’s behavior in October, but she’ll try to move on. What if she finds out she’s expecting? What if she learns that Hastings and Imani are together? Will she tell him about the baby or keep it to herself? Will she confide in Lily or Devon? We’ll have to tune in to find out!
