This past November, it was announced that Ian Ward and Aunt Jordan had returned to The Young and the Restless. However, fans are starting to wonder if Ian, and his actor Ray Wise, could be leaving Genoa City sometime soon. There’s also the discussion on if Ian’s possible departure could be a permanent one.

As an actor, Ray Wise is known for his work on films like Twin Peaks, RoboCop, Swamp Thing, and X-Men: First Class. On television, he is also known for roles on 24, Reaper, Fresh Off the Boat, and The Young and the Restless.

Wise first joined the cast of The Young and the Restless back in 2014. Introduced as a villainous cult leader, the character lasted on the soap until 2016. However, he recently made a return to the soap, with him teaming up with the villainous Jordan Howard.

That said, some fans are started to suspect Ian’s return to Genoa City is already coming to an end, thanks to recent events. As shared by Monsters & Critics, things could prove dire for Ian during his recent fallout with the Newman family at the ranch.

Ian and Eric Braeden’s Victor both ended up shot during the encounter. This left both characters with their lives in danger.

Soon, Ian was pronounced dead. This might give closure to the characters he’s impacted. However, there is still one caveat. This is a soap opera, and death doesn’t always stick.

The Young & The Restless Is Likely Planning Something Big For February

At the very end of the January 30th episode, Ian seemingly wakes up, gasping for air. This suggests the character isn’t as forgone as he appeared. All that remains to be seen was how he would escape the ambulance.

However, this could still mean that Ian could leave the soap. The false reports of Ian’s demise leave the soap, and the character, with an opportunity. Ian could use this as a chance to fake his death until he can set up his next steps.

Likewise, with characters believing he is dead, it might be too soon for them to learn the truth. Of course, a body going missing from an ambulance probably would already tip the characters off.

That said, there is a good reason to suspect Ian won’t be gone for long. Sweeps are set this upcoming February. The soap could be slowly building up to Ian’s ultimate plan of revenge.

With the recent death of Jordan Howard, he could be planning to target all sorts of characters. Likewise, Ian could be safe for now, but his next steps could always prove dangerous. However, in the end, fans must wait to see what happens on the soap itself.

What do you think will happen on The Young and the Restless? What do you think will be Ian’s next move? Make sure you come back to TV Shows Ace for all the latest TV and celebrity news.
