DAD – Claire is shocked to discover that Malcolm is actually her biological father Y&R Spoilers

Here’s what’s coming up on The Young and the Restless for Thursday, April 9, 2026. Fans can expect Claire to see a new side to Holden and more. Let Soap Opera News break it down for you.

A Bombshell Changes Everything

Now that the truth is out, there is a lot to unpack. Stephanie (Vivica A. Fox) has revealed that Holden (Nathan Owens) is hers and Malcolm’s (Shemar Moore) son, and that changes everything.

Malcolm was convinced that Lily (Christel Khalil) could be a donor and save his life. But Stephanie drops another shock. Because of Lily’s past with cancer, she is not a viable donor. That option is officially off the table.

That is when Stephanie reveals that Holden, Malcolm’s son, could be the one who saves him. This bombshell hits Malcolm hard, and it hits Holden just as much. With the truth finally out, the two are forced to face their complicated past and figure out what comes next.

Lily Struggles With the Truth

Meanwhile, Lily has a lot weighing on her after learning about her bio dad’s diagnosis. It is a lot to take in at once. On top of that, she knows Malcolm does not want anyone to know about his condition. At least not yet. Not until he knows how this is all going to play out.

Now she is also dealing with the reality that she cannot save him. That is not an easy thing to accept.

In the meantime, Lily leans on Traci (Beth Maitland) for guidance. The question is, will she open up about what is really going on with Malcolm?

A New Side of Holden

Y&R spoilers for April 9 also tease that Claire (Hayley Erin) sees a new side to Holden. And honestly, that makes sense.

Holden just had his entire world turned upside down. The man he thought was his father is not. He just found out he has a biological half-sister, and not just anyone. His sister is Lily Winters. And on top of that, his father is battling aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant.

That is a lot for anyone to process.

So with Claire seeing a different side of him, could this be the start of something new between them? Or is everything just getting more complicated?
