CBS Confirms Massive Young And The Restless And Beyond The Gates Crossover Event
Y&R Stars Heading to Beyond the Gates
The crossover will feature an impressive lineup of Y&R veterans appearing across multiple episodes of Beyond the Gates:
Eric Braeden as Victor Newman
Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott
Bryton James as Devon Hamilton
Michael Mealor as Kyle Abbott
Susan Walters as Diane Jenkins
Melissa Ordway as Abby Newman
This star-studded roster ensures the crossover will feel big, consequential, and deeply connected to both shows’ ongoing narratives.
What Sparks the Crossover?
According to TVLine, the story begins when Victor Newman reunites with his “longtime close friend” Vernon Dupree at a major political fundraiser honoring Vernon’s grandson, Martin. Victor attends the event as the keynote speaker, signaling just how far-reaching and politically connected the Newman empire has become.
CBS describes Victor and Vernon’s decades-long alliance as one forged through “loyalty, influence, and mutual gain.”Over the years:
Victor has backed Vernon’s political campaigns.
Vernon has championed legislation benefiting Newman Enterprises.
Their partnership provides a seamless — and deliciously dramatic — bridge between the two series.
How the Abbotts and Others Get Involved
The political gala doesn’t just draw Victor. It opens the doors for other Genoa City heavyweights to step into Beyond the Gates.
Kyle Abbott
Martin extends a personal invitation to Kyle, revealing that the two bonded during their post-college days in New York City. Kyle arrives with both Jack and Diane in tow — a trio guaranteed to stir up tension in any room they enter.
Jack & Diane Abbott
Jack’s corporate instincts and Diane’s ever-present unpredictability make them natural catalysts for conflict in a world already defined by power, ambition, and secrets.
Devon Hamilton
Devon finds himself at the center of a potential corporate shake-up when he’s approached by Anita Dupree with an unexpected business opportunity. Given Devon’s track record in navigating mergers and high-stakes deals, this twist may have long-lasting implications.
Abby Newman
Abby joins the festivities as well, bringing her Newman polish and Chancellor-Abbott connections into the mix — making her one of the most socially and politically versatile guests at the fundraiser.
The Bottom Line
June 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark moment in soap and drama television. With Victor Newman returning to the political battlefield, the Abbotts stepping onto new turf, and Devon facing a mysterious business proposition, the Y&R/Beyond the Gates crossover promises glamour, tension, power plays, and the thrill of two worlds colliding. And if the fundraiser is just the beginning… fans may be in for even bigger surprises.
