CBS’s legendary soap The Young and The Restless is about to ring in its 13000th episode, and that cast, crew, and fans are equally excited! And all for the right reasons! After all, in today’s minimal shelf-life era, Y&R has thrived for decades and beyond! To mark the special milestone, many past characters are resurfacing to the soap.
The Young and The Restless spoilers confirm that actress Brytni Sarpy is also making a comeback as Elena Dawson for the 13000th episode. The star herself confirmed the big news in October 2024 through her social media account, so we can rest assured that her return is locked and loaded. But what would Elena’s return mean for Nate Hastings? Especially after the way things ended between them?

Well, the latest cast photo may have dropped a few hints at what to expect in the coming episodes. Y&R recently released a cast photo for the occasion of the 13000th episode, and it features all the regular cast members like Peter Bergman, Melody Scott Thomas, and Joshua Morrow, amongst others.
But what caught our attention was the fact that not only are Brytni Sarpy and Sean Dominic standing almost side by side, but Sean is also holding a little baby! A baby we haven’t seen before. Now, this photo was exclusively a cast-only photo. Which means the baby is part of the cast. But no one (that we know of) has had a baby recently, nor anyone is heavily pregnant at the moment. So, who is the baby?
We can’t help but wonder if Elena returns to GC with a baby in tow! Could it be possible that she was pregnant with Nate’s baby when she left town? If that’s true, then what would this twist mean for Nate and her relationship? Could there be a possible reconciliation for them? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more The Young and The Restless spoilers to find out!
