The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei)

will be forced to come to grips with a difficult loss. Even after seeing

Heather Stevens’ (Vail Bloom) corpse in the morgue for himself, none of

this will feel real for poor Daniel.

Of course, Daniel will eventually have to break the terrible news to Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant) and everyone else who cared about Heather. It’ll be tough for Daniel to face the reality of the situation, but that’s exactly what he’ll have to do.

At some point, Heather will have a funeral service that’s sure to bring plenty of tears and maybe even some outbursts. Daniel and Lucy may be pushed over the edge as they struggle to say a final goodbye.

It’s interesting because Lucy and Daniel could pose threats to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) in very different ways. It’s easy to imagine Daniel settling on the idea that Sharon is responsible and working hard to find evidence to prove she’s guilty.

Perhaps Daniel will go after Sharon using legal avenues while Lucy takes the vigilante justice approach. Lucy has become a wild teenager in recent months, so Y&R might lean into that and have her get even wilder!

Maybe Lucy will cross some unsettling lines when it comes to making Sharon pay for what happened to Heather. Lucy could go off the rails and pull off some dangerous stunts in her pursuit of vengeance.

Sharon has covered her tracks as best as she can, but that may not stop Daniel and Lucy from growing increasingly suspicious about her behavior the last night Heather was alive.

In other words, Sharon will have threats coming at her from multiple angles – including Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) if she decides to make Sharon pay, too.
