News broke last week that Brytni Sarpy is bringing her much-missed character Elena Dawson back to The Young and the Restless. Elena faded from the scene months ago and it’s been a hot minute since we saw her caught up in the drama. Will her return make up for it?

Elena Dawson…and Baby?

Just imagine the chaos that would ensue if the good doctor returned to her old stomping grounds with a tiny tot in tow! Well, if that’s not a way to stir up some trouble, we don’t know what is! Poor Nate (Sean Dominic) would never see it coming and his whole world would definitely turn upside down.

It would be quite a trip to have Elena present her little one to Nate and fess up to him not only being the daddy, but she’d have to share the reasons why she kept the baby a secret. Is it because she saw Nate going downhill and getting mixed up with some seriously messy players? Did she want better for her babe but ultimately decided family needs to come first?

We can see it now, Nate’s world will crash as he realizes how much he’s missed of his child’s life and he’ll throw himself into daddy mode right off the hop…after a DNA test, of course. And, one done by a lab Nate can trust. We all know the Genoa City ones are iffy, at best.

A Restless Restart

Once the truth comes out and Nate gets into dad mode, will the coparenting bring him closer to his ex? Could this be the road back to his and Elena’s epic love story? There were good together once upon a time. Could they be good together again?
