GOOD LUCK STICKING TO THOSE RULES WHEN YOU BOTH HAVE FEELINGS
TL;DR: Y&R spoilers for Monday, October 27 find Daniel Romalotti and Tessa Porter setting new rules for themselves! These two have been getting VERY close lately, and considering Tessa is still MARRIED to Mariah Copeland, they definitely need some boundaries! What kind of rules are Daniel and Tessa setting? No more late-night hangouts? No more getting emotionally intimate?
Tessa Porter Sets New Rules—This Should Be Interesting
Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) set new rules for themselves on Monday, and honestly? They NEED some serious boundaries!
Daniel has been spending SO much time with Tessa while she deals with Mariah Copeland‘s (Camryn Grimes) situation at the mental health facility! He has been her shoulder to cry on, her support system, and her closest friend! He even admitted to his parents that he has FEELINGS for Tessa!
But here is the problem: Tessa is still MARRIED to Mariah! Yes, their marriage is falling apart, but they are still legally married! So Daniel and Tessa setting new rules for themselves is probably a smart move before things get even MORE complicated!
What kind of rules are they setting? Are they agreeing to keep things platonic until Tessa figures out her situation with Mariah? Are they limiting their time together? No more late-night hangouts where emotions run high?
Whatever the rules are, good luck sticking to them! When two people have feelings for each other, rules have a tendency to fly out the window!
The Problem With Setting Rules When You Have Feelings
Here is the thing about Daniel and Tessa setting rules: It sounds great in theory, but in practice, it is going to be REALLY hard to follow through!
Daniel admitted he has feelings for Tessa! That is not something you can just turn off! You cannot tell your heart to stop feeling what it feels just because you set some arbitrary rules!
And Tessa? She has been leaning on Daniel HARD during this difficult time! He has been there for her in ways that Mariah has not been able to be! That kind of emotional intimacy creates a bond that is difficult to ignore!
So when Daniel and Tessa sit down and say “Okay, from now on we are going to follow these rules,” what are the chances they actually stick to them? Probably not great!
Rules work when you do not want to do the thing you are making rules about! But when you WANT to do the thing and you are only making rules because you SHOULD not do the thing? Those rules are going to be broken!
What Happens When Mariah Finds Out?
The bigger question is what happens when Mariah finds out about Daniel and Tessa‘s closeness!
Mariah is struggling in a mental health facility right now! She is dealing with her own issues! The LAST thing she needs is to discover that her wife has been getting emotionally intimate with another man while she has been gone!
If Mariah finds out that Daniel has feelings for Tessa, she is going to be DEVASTATED! And if she finds out that Tessa has been spending all this time with Daniel while she was struggling, it is going to hurt even more!
Daniel and Tessa might think they are doing the right thing by setting rules and maintaining boundaries! But the damage might already be done! The emotional connection is already there! Setting rules now might be too little, too late!
Adam and Chelsea Face an Unexpected Challenge
Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) face an unexpected challenge on Monday, and with these two, an unexpected challenge could be ANYTHING!
Adam and Chelsea have such a complicated relationship! They share a son, Connor, and they have been through SO much together! They have broken up and gotten back together more times than anyone can count!
So what is this unexpected challenge? Is it related to Connor? Is their son having issues at school or with his OCD? Is it a business problem? Is someone threatening them?
With Adam‘s enemies list being as long as it is, the possibilities are endless! Adam has made A LOT of enemies over the years! So it would not be surprising if this unexpected challenge involves someone from Adam‘s past coming back to cause trouble!
Or could this unexpected challenge be about their RELATIONSHIP? Have Adam and Chelsea been getting closer again? Are they considering giving their relationship another shot, only to have something come up that complicates things?
Can Adam and Chelsea Work Together?
Whatever this unexpected challenge is, Adam and Chelsea are going to have to work together to handle it!
These two are at their best when they are united and fighting for the same goal! When they are on the same team, Adam and Chelsea can accomplish anything! They understand each other in ways that other people do not!
But if this challenge drives them APART instead of bringing them together, things could get messy really quickly! Adam does not handle conflict well, and Chelsea can only take so much stress before she reaches her breaking point!
The question is whether this unexpected challenge will bring Adam and Chelsea closer together or push them further apart! Either way, they are going to have to figure out how to deal with it!
Y&R Spoilers Monday’s Bottom Line
Y&R spoilers for Monday reveal Daniel and Tessa are setting new rules for themselves to keep their relationship from crossing any lines! But considering they both have feelings for each other, those rules might not last very long!
Meanwhile, Adam and Chelsea are facing an unexpected challenge that could either bring them closer together or push them further apart!
