Delia Abbott’s death remains one of the most controversial storylines in The Young and the Restless history. In this Y&R Retro recap, we revisit the events surrounding the 2013 tragedy — from the night of the accident, to Adam Newman’s role, Billy Abbott’s guilt, Chloe Mitchell’s grief, and the aftermath that changed Genoa City for years.
Fans still debate what really happened and who was truly responsible. Was it Adam for the hit-and-run and the cover-up? Was it Billy for leaving Delia alone that night? Or was it a chain of decisions that led to an irreversible tragedy?
