Nikki comes face to face with Ian Ward

If anyone can stop Ian and Jordan’s reign of terror, it’s Victor…and in this week’s video preview for The Young and the Restlesslooks like that’s exactly what he intends to do. Plus, the much-talked-about search for Damian leads Nate to the door of a handsome young man who may not be the person he’s looking for!

After searching high and low for Damian, this week Nate will see a reunion. with a young man (played by Nathan Owens) who notices that it’s not every day that he receives a cold call offering him a job. “Not to mention a business executive flying to meet me,” he adds. Nat’s response? “When I see someone I like, I don’t waste time.” Could it be his half-brother?

Elsewhere, the latest plot set in motion by Ian and Jordan continues to unfold. You’ll remember that while everyone was distracted by the scene Ian caused at Society, Jordan managed to surprise Sharon. Now Sharon is at their mercy as the villainous duo plot to destroy Sharon’s life by framing her for a crime that has yet to be committed: Phyllis’ murder!

So this week, Jordan tells an unconscious Sharon that she should be grateful she’s not at the bottom of a river…at least not yet! Will the beleaguered blonde end up like Heather, thrown over a bridge into the water below?

Desperate for help after police believed Ian’s story that he was a reformed man by hook, line and sinker, Nick turned to his father. Which leads to the shocking moment where Nikki comes downstairs to find her husband standing in the living room with a man who slowly turns around and reveals himself to be none other than Ian! “What is he doing here?” she asks. Is this simply a nightmare, or has Nikki come face to face with the man who once terrorized her?
