The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) horror show could turn into something positive for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). It’s not fair that Nikki’s going through such a distressing crisis, but the silver lining is that Adam’s luck might turn around for once.

Sometimes it’s hard to take Adam at his word, but he genuinely seems committed to playing by Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) rules and carving out a spot for himself in the family business again.

Although Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) threw one of her usual fits and stormed out over Adam getting any kind of power role, she may come around soon.

This whole lake house mess with Nikki may remind Victoria of how important family is.

Once this Newman clan mayhem plays out, Victor will need Victoria to help him keep the family business running smoothly.

Victor may remain in the CEO chair as planned and make Victoria his co-CEO once more.

Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) can take Nate Hastings’ (Sean Dominic) COO spot, but what about the vague position that Adam’s been promised?

Adam assured Victor that he’d accept whatever was offered, but he has no idea what to expect.

Anything will be a step up from being Nate’s assistant, which was the last lowly role that Adam held.

Now that Victor’s starting to trust Adam a bit more, he’ll want to give him a more powerful job.

This could be Adam’s chance to reclaim the Newman Media CEO seat since Nikki’s surely going to need some time to recover.

Outsider Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) might be passed over for a promotion and get the same harsh message that Nate just got. Anyone whose last name isn’t Newman is going to get snubbed or cast aside eventually.

Audra might expect to slide in the Newman Media CEO spot – at least while Nikki’s potentially in rehab or doing some form of treatment at home.

Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Claire Grace (Hayley Ering) made sure Nikki broke her sobriety, so getting back on the wagon may be tough.

Of course, Nikki will need time to recover from the trauma of it all, too. It might even be enough to convince Nikki to retire since she made such a bad call when it came to hiring Claire!

Whether it’s temporary or permanent, Adam may have an opportunity to become the CEO of Newman Media again.

That would feel like a dream come true for Adam and might be just what he needs to finally get on the right path.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Adam may get updates on some good news regarding his future, so stay tuned!
