Slow Burn Sunday: Lily and Damian’s Romantic Connection on Young and the Restless

Will they or won’t they?

Damian is obviously interested in Lily, but what does she think of him?

Damian has been awestruck by Lily ever since he set foot in Genoa City. He hasn’t been shy about his feelings toward her. Meanwhile, Lily has remained cool and standoffish, which has us wondering how she really feels about him. It looks like The Young and the Restless is taking a slow-burn approach to their connection.

Meet Cute

Lily (Christel Khalil) and Damian (Jermaine Rivers) literally bumped into each other the first time they met. There was a spark of attraction between them. At least we saw it on Damian’s part. Lily has kept a cool demeanor around him. She probably doesn’t want to risk getting her heart broken again after her failed past relationships with Billy (Jason Thompson) and Daniel (Michael Graziadei).

More Than Meets The Eye

Damian hasn’t been honest about himself. He presented himself as Aristotle Dumas, a mysterious businessman. Now, he’s shared with Lily his actual connection to Dumas. Lily wonders what else she doesn’t know about him. Their connection also brought up questions about family dynamics since Damian is also connected to Nate (Sean Dominic), Lily’s cousin, through their shared mother.

Romance In The Future?

For now, Lily and Damian are friends and business partners. But Damian wants more. He admitted on the Thursday, May 22 episode of Y&R that he wants to get to know her better. Lily sure loves the attention that she’s been getting. A good-looking, well-dressed, and successful man is giving her ALL of his attention. Will these two have a dinner date in which they’re not constantly talking about business or Dumas?

There are obvious sparks between them, and the chemistry is intense. We’re interested in seeing where this connection takes them and if they can successfully mix business with pleasure.
