'The Young and the Restless' Thursday Preview: Michael E. Knight Debuts as Dr. Neville

Michael E. Knight as Dr. Simon Neville.

On Wednesday's (October 14) episode of The Young and the Restless, Victor (Eric Braeden) brought Adam (Justin Hartley) to Newman to help stop the Paragon virus, much to Victoria's (Amelia Heinle) chagrin. It turned out Devon (Bryton James) and Dylan (Steve Burton) were at the wrong address, so Neil's (Kristoff St. John) cover wasn't blown yet. Emma (Alice Greczyn) told Gwen (Nadine Turner) she had to fire Dr. Neville, which gave Gwen the idea that the doctor and his unusual methods might be the perfect person to help Hilary (Mishael Morgan).

[WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD]

On Thursday's Y&R, Dylan talks to Dr. Anderson (Elizabeth Bogush) about Sharon's (Sharon Case) condition, and Ashley (Eileen Davidson) wants revenge against Victor.

"You think you can out Victor Victor?" Jack asks his sister.

"I know I can, even if you don't," Ashley replies.

Meanwhile, Dr. Simon Neville (played by Emmy Award winner Michael E. Knight) arrives to help Neil with Hilary.

"I've always been more interested in the challenge of medicine than the size of my paycheck," Dr. Neville tells Neil.
