“What a Shame” — The Young and the Restless viewers outraged as Kyle’s fake romance with Audra turns all too real

In the current scenario of the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, things have taken a spicy turn as Audra succeeded in her plan. In the recent episode which aired on July 18, 2025, Audra successfully lured Kyle in with her tactic which eventually resulted in the two of them cheating on their partners. 

Currently, people of Genoa are on vacation in Nice. They went out to this private island to attend a party organized by the wealthy businessman Aristotle Dumas. However, further, it was revealed that Aristotle Dumas is none other than Cane Ashby. Anyway, this garden party turned into a murder mystery party after Damian was found dead, leaving everyone a suspect. 
In the July 18th episode of The Young and the Restless, Audra and Victor’s plan to separate Kyle and Claire looked on the right track when Audra kissed him. 

Fans of the daytime soap opera were left in shock after seeing the scene that took place on the Friday episode. This cliffhanger moment left the fans wondering what’s next for the characters involved in the plot. A fan named Marcella Whited commented on a discussion post started on Facebook by another fan. Marcella commented, 

“What a shame I hope they get her and Victor both he needs to get caught”

Marcella commented on a discussion post started by Vicki Jackson on Facebook on July 19, 2025. Vicki wrote, 

“Kyle was always onto Audra and Victor’s plan to break up his relationship with Claire. I hope Nate finds out just how far Audra was willing to go for Victor’s money.”

Several fans of The Young and the Restless started speculating and sharing their views on the plot. While some fans speculate that Kyle will push her away before anything major happens, others expressed how they wish Audra to lose it all.

On the other hand, some fans of the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, a few fans speculated that she might be behind Damian’s murder and also expressed that Nate deserves someone better than Audra. 

Here’s everything to know about the ongoing drama on The Young and the Restless

In the recent scenario of the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, things have taken a drastic turn as a series of unexpected events took place. Firstly, Damian was found dead, which left everyone as a suspect in the murder mystery. And now Audra is coming close to Kyle. Though we already suspected that something like this was going to take place shortly. 

Victor colluded with Audra and orchestrated the scene where she gets in and makes Claire break up with Kyle. Victor does not like the Abbotts, and the fact that his granddaughter is dating one, despite his orders to stay away, pissed him off. 

Further, he asked Audra to plan something that would destroy their relationship. In the recent episode which aired on July 18, 2025 she showed up in his room and expressed how afraid she felt about the ongoing drama (Damain’s murder). Later, she expressed that she did not want to be alone. Kyle rightfully walked into her trap and offered that she could stay in her room. She quickly accepted the offer, and in the room, she grew closer and kissed him. This could potentially endanger their existing relationships with their partner, leading to more drama on The Young and the Restless.
