Lurking behind the scenes of Young & Restless, Genoa City’s finest partied through an elaborate hedge maze

The Maze Mystery Is Finally Over… Or Is It?

In a plot twist worthy of a primetime crime thriller, The Young and the Restless dropped jaws as it revealed Carter was behind the gruesome murders in Nice. The storyline took fans on a suspense-filled rollercoaster, filled with blood, betrayal, and brutal imagery. But while the mystery shocked viewers, the real drama—or perhaps comedy—was unfolding off-screen.

Far from the haunting scenes of bloodshed and suspicion, the Y&R cast found time to kick back, indulge in a little playfulness, and, quite literally, get lost in a French hedge maze. The official Y&R Instagram account recently shared a lighthearted behind-the-scenes Reel that captured the cast’s antics in their full glory.

A Hilarious Detour Through the Green Maze

Set to quirky background music, the video montage opens with none other than the patriarch himself—Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)—peeking mischievously from behind a hedge. This unexpected moment sets the tone for what becomes a riot of resortwear, overacting, and outright silliness.

Next, we catch the ever-scheming Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and the charming Nick (Joshua Morrow) slinking through the shrubbery as if still playing their dramatic cat-and-mouse games. And it wouldn’t be Y&R without a touch of the absurd: Chance (Conner Floyd) and Sally (Courtney Hope) look hilariously bewildered, seemingly unable to find their way out.

Meanwhile, Billy (Jason Thompson) finds a more peaceful moment in the chaos, pausing to smell the roses—literally—adding a romantic yet comedic pause in the maze’s mischief.

Romance, Shenanigans, and a Dash of Chaos

But not all were lost. The ever-glowing golden couple, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters), found each other among the hedges and emerged hand-in-hand. Their chemistry spilled off-screen, bringing warmth to the fun-filled footage.

Others, like Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Lily (Christel Khalil), and Sharon (Sharon Case), seemed far more interested in stirring up playful trouble than finding the maze’s exit. Glimpses of whispered schemes and exaggerated tiptoeing added layers of mystery to the otherwise comedic romp.

As for Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) and Michael (Christian Le Blanc), their cameo brought romance to the fore. With windswept elegance, they adjusted their outfits and shared a look that felt straight out of a French love story.

Amanda (Mishael Morgan), staying ever in character, wandered through in full work mode, ignoring the silliness around her. Abby (Melissa Ordway), in stark contrast, sprinted barefoot with a cocktail in hand—delightfully wild and uninhibited.

Close Calls and Winks to the Storyline

The maze also offered a playground for ironic humor. Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Kyle (Michael Mealor), whose characters have been tangled in tension, nearly collided. Their exaggerated attempts to avoid each other were a tongue-in-cheek nod to their on-screen friction.

And then came Carter (Vincent Stalbas), the “killer” himself, lurking with suspiciously composed posture and innocent expressions. As he adjusted his glasses and pretended to be a harmless tourist, viewers couldn’t help but laugh at the inside joke—especially considering his murderous role.

Devon (Bryton James) moonwalked through the hedges, adding a surprising (and stylish) exit, while Damian (Jermaine Rivers) posed dramatically, striking a modelesque stance worthy of a cologne ad.

The entire montage ended with Cane (Billy Flynn), who offered nothing but a sly smile and a casual walk into the distance—leaving fans wondering whether he was amused or plotting his next move.

A Balanced Blend of Dark and Delightful

The juxtaposition between the show’s grim storyline and the behind-the-scenes levity gives fans something to cherish. The Young and the Restless has always thrived on emotional extremes—and this playful maze video is a brilliant reminder that while the show may dabble in drama, the cast certainly knows how to have fun.

Whether they’re solving a maze or solving a murder, one thing’s for sure: this cast knows how to keep audiences entertained on all fronts.
