Is Ian leaving The Young and the Restless? That’s the question on fans’ minds as Y&R pulled a fast one on viewers today. The hit CBS soap has undoubtedly kept fans on their toes over the past few weeks.

In the aftermath of The Young and the Restless ’ Ian (Ray Wise) shooting Victor ( Eric Braeden) and The Mustache returning the favor, one thing became crystal clear by the end of the episode airing on January 29 — they both needed help.

When Ray Wise's Ian Ward returned to Genoa City on Young and Restless, a final showdown taking place with Eric Braeden's Victor Newman seemed inevitable.
