Wondering who might be the next to die on The Young and the Restless? With recent episodes already claiming multiple lives, the soap has shifted from drama and romance to a deadly string of events shaking Genoa City. As bodies drop and secrets unravel, several characters now find themselves in the killer’s crosshairs.
Here’s a breakdown of who could be next and why their time might be running out.
Characters who could die next on The Young and the Restless
Victor Newman
Victor may become the killer’s next target if the motive shifts from personal to professional. An attempt on his life would allow him to play dead and expose the homicidal maniac behind the crimes.
Amy
After Damian’s murder, Amy’s mental health could take a critical hit. Her anguish at the loss of her son could be such a grievous setback to her recovery that she doesn’t recover at all, leaving those around her devastated and deeply concerned for her future.
Tessa
Ian Ward is expected to return and may target Tessa. If he resurfaces, he could make her his next victim as he tries to manipulate Mariah back into his life.
Nick Newman
Someone may frame Nick for Damian’s murder. Suspicions point to a setup, even though Nick has no clear motive, history of violence, or known link to knife-throwing.
Adam
Adam’s exposure of Cane’s Genoa City real estate deals could put him in danger. He is likely to be the next to topple into the grave, having drawn attention to Cane’s actions by revealing them from a mountaintop in France.
Cane
Cane may still be a marked man. Though he started the party assuming someone would try to execute him, it seemed unlikely the show would recast him just to kill him off, but the same was once assumed about Damian.
