He will receive a reality check from Sally, leading them both on planning the wedding of the year. Sally will find herself navigating politics in her personal life when she is faced with major decisions about the wedding. Adam (Mark Grossman) and Sally always seem to find their lives intertwined whether they like it or not, and this fall will be no different.

This week, couples get closer and some may be playing with fire, when all-new episodes of The Young and the Restless begin on Monday, September 14.

First, Y&R viewers know that Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) October nuptials will be front and center come October as previously teased by Y&R’s executive producer, Sally McDonald.

However, this week’s video spoilers show Sally sitting with her ex Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and she asks him for a favor. Adam seems happy to help, when he responds, “Anything.” Next, Sally tells hi, that this,”could be a matter of life or death.” What could Sally be asking Adam? Does it have to do with Billy’s baby that she is carrying? Come Sally’s wedding, will Adam and Billy’s endless feud rear its ugly head in the worse way?
