The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) is throwing all her time and energy into an alliance that’s only going to burn her in the end. Lily thinks she’s got it all figured out and that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will be the partner she needs to defeat Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) at Chancellor.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that Victor will even be successful in taking over Chancellor to make it part of the Newman empire.

However, Lily certainly doesn’t seem poised to get the CEO seat she wants if Victor indeed wins.

Lily has made the mistake of trusting Victor, but family is always going to come first for him.

That’s why it’s tough to believe Victor would ever throw out his plan to put Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) on the throne in the end.

What happens when reality sets in and Lily realizes her dirty work has gotten her nowhere?

Victor might offer Lily some measly consolation prize job at Chancellor or elsewhere at Newman, but she may tell him to shove it under the circumstances!

Once this partnership blows up and Lily’s a loser, the show can hopefully put her in a new storyline with a better outcome.

Since Lily has been single for a while now, is a love story coming up next?

The show tried to recreate the sparks of Lily and Daniel Romalotti Jr.’s (Michael Graziadei) young love, but pairing them up all these years later didn’t really work.

The magic was gone, so that’s probably why Y&R had Daniel cheat and reunite with Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) instead.

It feels like the ship has sailed for Lily and Daniel, who’s tangled up in Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) story as a target anyway.

Lily and Billy are enemies these days, so it’s hard to imagine them getting back together anytime soon either.

Perhaps what Lily needs is a brand-new love interest – someone she doesn’t already have a history with and someone who can propel her toward a bright future.

Lily could escape all the past drama and truly move on with her life.

There was a casting call for a handsome Black male in the right age range for Lily a couple months back.

There are also some signs that Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) might be getting a half-brother on his father’s side – and if that’s true, the new hunk won’t be a blood relative of Lily’s.

Could this new character’s debut lead to Lily finding real love? It would certainly be a better story than a fight for the Chancellor throne that Lily’s destined to lose!

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Lily will have to figure out what the future holds, so stick with us for more predictions on her next chapter and updates on any love life news.
