The hit CBS series "The Young and the Restless" continues this week, Dec. 16 to Dec. 18, with more dramatic turns for the residents of Genoa City including Victor Newman and his battle against the Abbotts as well as Dr. Simon Neville's new project with Neil Winters.

It's been a tough week for Victor and Jack Abbot after the latter called off his strategy to expose his mysterious and illegal acts with Victor. According to Soap Shows, Jack will consider retreating as a sign of defeat.

Victor, of course, celebrates. However, in order to keep Newman Enterprises on top, he will not hesitate to make another risky move of hiring a new employee, who the publication speculates will be a possible threat against the Abbotts.

The news outlet reveals that whatever Victor has in his sleeves, it will be to ensure that his company remains undefeated and he won't hesitate to cross any lines just to keep his place. And with Jack retreating and pulling back his planned press conference, he faces a dilemma with his wife, Phyllis Summers.

The two had been in a tough place since Jack tried to battle Victor, according to Celeb Dirty Laundry. However, this time, Jack will be focusing on Phyllis and how to make their relationship work. According to the publication, Phyllis will be calling Jack to remind him that he didn't even show up at their wedding night. This will urge Jack to make it up to her.

Meanwhile, Dr. Neville's character faces a new victory in the life of Hilary Curtis after hearing that she recovered pretty fast. Dr. Neville will be demanding Neil to pay up and support him with his new endeavour to make more breakthroughs.

Apparently, Dr. Neville is so eager to continue his revolutionary techniques and needs a wealthy investor to back him up. Of course, Neil is in a tough position and will be forced to commit to the doctor's demands since Hilary obviously healed. Also, the doctor knows a lot of things about Neil and can spill everything to the police if he doesn't pay up.

All these and more will be happening in yet another tensed and mind boggling weekender of "The Young and the Restless," which airs weekdays on CBS.
