The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that three storylines may be brewing for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), so let’s talk about what’s next now that Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) is gone. Y&R has a chance to take Victoria in some interesting new directions, so here are some hot plots that could be on the way.

1) Victoria & Adam’s teamwork pays off?

There’s been a thaw lately in Victoria and Adam Newman’s (Mark Grossman) previously strained relationship, so that’s been nice to see.

Things are still awkward, but Victoria has acknowledged Adam’s evolution as a person and seems to have faith in his family loyalty now.

The show may build on that progress if Victoria and Adam have to work together as a team against some growing threats.

Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) intends on going after all the major Genoa City power players eventually – including Newman Enterprises – so both Adam and Victoria will be highly motivated to protect the family business.

Victoria may throw herself back into work and have to trust Adam on whatever teamwork might be looming.

Adam and Victoria’s truce could turn into a family alliance that’s a big win for the Newmans.

2) Victoria and Nate rekindle romance?

Of course, Victoria will need another romantic partner sooner or later.

Although Victoria loved Cole and is currently still grieving him, she may be ready to move on sooner than anyone expects.

Victoria has already been leaning on Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), who accepted her support as well over the grim Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) news.

Once Nate’s relationship with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) blows up, that could lead to him rekindling his romance with Victoria.

Perhaps Victoria and Nate’s reunion could bring a renewed love story that’ll give Victoria some new material for many months to come.

3) Victoria fears Claire’s mental health crisis?

Next, some alarm bells may go off for Victoria when it comes to Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) and her worsening mental state.

Viewers have already been seeing a more intense version of Claire lately, but she could really go off the rails once she finds out the whole truth about Audra and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) in Nice.

This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on considering Claire’s unhinged past and stint in the psych ward.

Claire could revert to the sinister mentality that Jordan (Colleen Zenk) taught her and turn dangerous again sooner or later.

That could give Victoria a great story to work with as she tries to save her daughter and pull Claire back from the brink of insanity.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Victoria will make some intriguing updates to her life in the coming months, so stick with us for more news on her future.
