Yes Chelsea drugged Billy and had sex with him when he was unable to consent, so definitely rape.  It was years ago, onscreen, when they were both in Myanmar. 

The show tried to say last year that it was "something on the wild side" but it wasn't.

Chelsea became pregnant as a result of the rape.  Billy and Victoria were married and arranged to adopt the baby before he was born.   The boy's name is Johnny Abbott.  Victoria and Billy were is the only parents Johnny ever knew -- Johnny knew he was adopted but didn't know who his biomother was.  Last year Chelsea asked that Johnny be told and he was told that Chelsea is his biomother.   But Victoria is Johnny's mother in every way that matters.   Johnny learned that he has
a bio-half-brother Connor Newman (the son Chelsea raised).  The boys became good friends and didn't seem to think this is a big deal, as they are young and used to having friends with a variety of family structures.

Johnny knows Chelsea is his biomother, visits her and Connor occasionally, plus Johnny's dad Billy is dating his biomother Chelsea.   Sometimes they do homework.

But Johnny doesn't know he was conceived via rape.

Eventually, in the meantime, Connor Newman began having issues, and asked to live with Chelsea's mother Anita who lives in another state/city somewhere, and he goes to school there.

Victoria has dated other people but has had an onagain offagain relationship with Billy Abbott through the years.  She and Billy also have a full biological child Katie, who is slightly younger than Johnny.  Billy and Victoria share custody of Johnny and Katie, but I think Johnny and Katie are currently in boarding school.

 Victoria has dated other people since she split with Billy; but her boyfriends were never parental figures to Johnny and Katie.

Victoria also has an adult son Reed Hellstrom who is a musician and lives in another state, he is the son of one of her prior husbands - that husband's character name is "J.T. Hellstrom".

Mentioning all of Victoria's known children because of the obvious potential storylines if Claire is really Victoria's NotDead daughter Eve.

Thank you so very much for the primer & background!! 

Now I have one more question. Do you remember the "Married Many Times thread"? Well what I have for Nikki is this: Nikki Reed Foster Bancroft DiSalvo Newman Abbott Landers Newman Newman Chow Sharpe Newman (Y&R) Now I've got someone questioning both Sharpe & Chow. Can you confirm or deny marriage to Deacon & to David Chow?

Didn't Chloe do the same thing to Billy?

FINALLY catching up on the Jordan episodes. I know I've seen people say Amelia Heinle & J. Eddie Peck did not have chemistry on All My Children, but damn.. they visually work on The Young and the Restless.
