Fenmore Baldwin returns to Genoa City

Longtime fans of The Young and the Restless have suspected for a while that Fenmore Baldwin (Zach Tinker) might be gay but he left Genoa City without his dating life being explored. Viewers who were wondering who the character would set his sights on never got to find out. On Days of Our Lives. Tinker portrays Sonny Kiriakis who is openly gay and has just been placed on recurring status. The actor will return to Y&R fnext week for one episode which is to honor his mother Lauren Fenmore who is getting an award for her company Fenmores.

In real-time, the CBS soap is celebrating Lauren's portrayer Tracey E Bregman who has been on the soap off and on for 40 years. In a preview for the week of Monday, January 23-27 Fenmore arrives in Genoa City with another young man in tow as he greets his parents Lauren and Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc). Fans are wondering if Michael's brother who is Chloe Mitchell Fisher's husband might also make an appearance. On Y&R Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) is Fenmore's uncle but on Days of Our Lives Rikaart portrays Leo Stark who gets under Sonny's skin.

The Young and the Restless 50 year celebration is under way

Spoilers for The Young and the Restless have been announcing for weeks that Tinker was reprising his role for one episode where Lauren goes down memory lane in flashbacks. The CBS soap did something similar when LeBlanc observed his 30-year milestone and they went all out when Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) achieved 4 decades on the soap. Y&R will be celebrating 50 years on the air soon and has been bringing back a lot of former cast members. Viewers are excited with anticipation as they ponder who will show up in Genoa City and a lot of guessing and projections are taking place.

Michael Graziati (Daniel Romalotti) and Michael Damian (Danny Romalotti) have returned and now it's being reported that Vail Bloom will return as April Stevens and her daughter Lucy will be with her. There have also been rumors that fans should brace for the unthinkable because a major character might die. It's being teased but has not been confirmed that The Young and the Restless might kill off Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) which fans are against as this is no way to celebrate the 50-year anniversary. Paul has been off the canvas for several years and fans have been hoping he might return for the anniversary so the death rumor is truly upsetting. While fans wait to find out what happens with Davidson's charcter there is a new mystery on the horizon-the identity of the mystery man seen with Fen.

Who is the mystery man with Fenmore?

There is always the chance that the young man in the promo who is with Fenmore is only a friend, business associate, or relative. Whoever he is he will probably leave Genoa City along with Baldwin. Fans who believe Den is gay are saying the young man might be his lover. The Young and the Restless spoilers don't yet reveal which day next week Lauren and Michael's son will return but there is no mention of him in Monday spoilers so it will probably be later in the week.

The Young and the Restless viewers love Michael and Lauren and will enjoy their reuniting with their son even if only for one episode. Be sure to tun in to find out what Fenmore has been up to as well as the identity of the young man standing by his side.
