Spoiler alerts for "The Young and the Restless" state that Dina Mergeron will say goodbye to Genoa City this week. According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Jack and Ashley will decide in the aftermath of Graham's death it's in their mother's best interest to leave town. Abby will suggest that her grandmother come to Paris and spend some time with her. Traci will go along with her mom to ensure her safety. Head writer Mal Young has said that Dina will be around for a while so this is probably not her final farewell. Spoilers did not indicate when she would return but it might be when Melissa Ordway, who portrays Abby, comes back from maternity leave.
Graham's death shifted things for Dina and her children
Last week on "The Young and the Restless," Dina turned the tables on Graham by fighting for her life when he tried to inject her with chemicals. She began pushing his arm away and Mr. Bloodworth ended up sticking the syringe in his own arm. When Jack and Ashley showed up their mother was nowhere to be found. She later turned herself in at the police station, confessing to the murder of Bent Davis, who has been dead for 20 years.
Graham's untimely death has changed things for the Abbott family and now Jack and Ashley must shift their focus. Spoilers say they will decide not to tell their mother the truth about Graham and will agree that Abby's offer for Dina to come to Paris is the best thing for her at this time.
They realize that their mom's memory is coming and going and most times she confuses the past with the present. Sending her away will remove Dina from an atmosphere that may cause her to become more discombobulated.
Jack and Ashley will resume business as usual once Dina is gone
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, once their mom is not an issue, Jack and his sister will resume their fight for Jabot.
With Dina safely out of the way being cared for by Abby and Traci, the oldest Abbott siblings will be able to freely resume their bickering over business issues as usual. This indicates that the fight for the CEO position at Jabot will heat up, and with Dina in Paris, the kid gloves will come off.
Fans of "The Young and the Restless" are loving the storyline with Dina and the range of emotions she is displaying while dealing with Alzheimer's disease.
Knowing she will return to Genoa City before the final goodbye will give viewers more opportunities to see the acting capabilities of Marla Adams. Stay tuned to "Y&R" weekday afternoons on CBS at 12:30 PM.
