Over the past few months, Nate has been in a supportive role, initially advising his cousins at Chancellor Winters and more recently assisting his partner, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver).

She’s been facing off  against Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) . It now appears that Nate may be on the verge of stepping into the spotlight himself, especially given the intriguing text he has received.

Nate Hastings Jr. (Sean Dominic) was busy unraveling a puzzling text from Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford), his father, Nate Hastings Sr.’s (Adam Lazarre-White)  former girlfriend. Amy insists that they must meet regarding an “urgent family matter,” but Nate, naturally, has no clue who she is!

Y & R Spoilers: Elena Dawson’s On Her Way

It’s fascinating that Amy  reached out to the doctor-turned-executive after so many years, but the message she sent adds another layer of intrigue. We can only speculate about what revelations await him when he finally meets her.

Regardless of what happens, he’ll require a confidant, and Audra isn’t exactly the nurturing type. In contrast, his ex-girlfriend Elena was incredibly empathetic, sensible, and always offered the best guidance.

Meanwhile, Soap Opera Digest has confirmed Brytni’s return to the show although no date has been published.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Elena Kind Of Disappeared

Elena became a more elusive figure following Nate’s betrayal with his former boss, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).

In March 2023, she was gearing up to launch a medical podcast, and Audra proposed that she interview JT Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill) to discuss the impact of his brain tumor on his life. Audra wanted Hellstrom back in town to terrorize Victoria, since the marriage was abusive-later found to be caused by the tumor.

Elena’s sudden absence from Genoa City was never explained. Since that time, Elena has not made any appearances on the show.

Y & R Spoilers: Elena Came In  March 2019

Sarpy made her debut on “Y&R” in March 2019 when the show reintroduced Ana Hamilton (Loren Lott), as the sister of Devon Hamilton. It was revealed that Elena is Ana’s cousin and serves as the caretaker for her uncle, the singer Jett Slade, (Gilbert Glenn Brown), who is also Ana’s father.

At that time, Elena had left her medical residency due to conflicts with the chief resident-troughout her journey, Elena experienced significant romantic entanglements, particularly with her cousins Devon and Nate.

Both relationships were marked by infidelity, intensifying the rivalry between the two men, which ultimately led Nate to abandon his medical aspirations in favor of a career in business.
