## Storylines

In March 2021, Valentin finds out Brook Lynn is pregnant with his child and suggests hiring a bodyguard to protect her. She wouldn’t even notice the guard who could keep an eye on her. Brook Lynn refuses this idea as she is actually faking being pregnant.

On April 13, Brook Lynn goes to Chase’s apartment to escape from Olivia’s watchful eye. Chase has been accidentally poisoned by Peter (who was trying to poison Finn) and Brook Lynn tells Chase he looks terrible. They talk about Chase getting back together with Willow until a knock at the door interrupts them.

Chase answers the door and a large man in a suit walks right in. He silently glares at Chase. Brook Lynn tells Chase that it is fine and the man is her bodyguard Yuri. Valentin calls Brook Lynn and she complains about the large man Valentin hired. Valentin insists that he needs to know that Brook Lynn and the baby are safe. Secretly Valentin is holding Peter captive and Peter has been threatening Valentin and Anna about a loved one being in danger.

Brook Lynn claims Yuri would call Valentin if something was wrong. Valentin says that Yuri couldn’t call if he was dead. Brook Lynn wonders if that could happen. Valentin explains that in the past he was a WSB agent and there are people who want to harm him. He tells Brook Lynn to do what Yuri says, follow the rules, and answer his calls. Brook Lynn agrees and hangs up the phone. She hands it to Yuri who leaves the apartment.

Chase asks Brook Lynn if Yuri was just hanging around outside the door the whole time. Brook Lynn says he was since Valentin hired him. Willow comes to the door and Brook Lynn leaves with Yuri.

On April 22, while Brook Lynn visits Chase at the hospital, Dante tells Brook Lynn that her bodyguard was looking for her in the hallway.

Brook Lynn calls Yuri and says he can’t go around the hospital looking for her from door to door even if Valentin told him to. She says she is on the seventh floor.

Later Brook Lynn tells Yuri she is coming and doesn’t want a protein shake.

On April 23, Brook Lynn thanks Michael for the ride home so she doesn’t have to rely on Yuri.

On May 7, Brook Lynn arrives at Maxie's apartment and tells her that she ditched Yuri on her way there.

On May 14, Valentin texts Yuri who tells him that he thought Brook Lynn was with Valentin. She had slipped out to go to GH. Valentin tells Yuri to do a better job watching Brook Lynn or he would ship Yuri back to Ukraine.

Later Valentin tells Brook Lynn that since she keeps escaping from her bodyguard, Valentin, Yuri, and Charlotte are coming to live with her at the Quartermaines. Monica agrees as she wants to keep an eye on Valentin.

Later Brook Lynn tells Maxie she will ditch Yuri before meeting Maxie in Beechers Corners. Brook Lynn claims her new crib is rickety and sneaks away while Yuri goes to fix it.

On June 11, Nina says she ran into a large man at the Quartermaines. Valentin says that is Brook Lynn’s bodyguard Yuri and he is from Belarus. Anna recognizes Yuri’s accent when she comes over to update Valentin.

On June 22, Valentin says that Yuri will watch over Brook Lynn, Charlotte, and Bailey at the Quartermaines while Valentin goes to Pautauk with Anna to search for Peter and Louise.

On July 9, Valentin asks Yuri what Monica was telling Valentin earlier as he was thinking about Anna at the time. Yuri doesn't answer and Valentin says he is a good listener but not much of a conversationalist.

In November, Valentin finds out he isn't Bailey's father and moves himself and Charlotte out of the Quartermaine Mansion. Presumably Yuri goes with them too.

On January 27, 2022, Valentin tells Martin that Yuri is still keeping tabs on Brook Lynn.

Valentin wants an update on Bailey since she left the mansion. Monica and Yuri haven’t seen much of Brook Lynn since she took Bailey and moved into Jax's old beach house. Yuri says that Maxie has been helping Brook Lynn with Bailey and Monica noticed how maternal Maxie is with Bailey.

In August 2022, Yuri brings Belarusian potato pancakes to the Quartermaine picnic. He later runs into Terry and they are attracted to each other after they both drink Leo's Sicilian Thunderbolt love potion. The two go off to the Metro court pool to be alone. He mentions how he cares for Monica. Terry's necklace falls into the pool and Yuri dives in to get it.

In September, Yuri sends flowers to Terry at the hospital.

On February 14, 2023, Yuri and Terry attended Curtis Ashford and Portia Robinson's wedding.

On April 7, Yuri danced with the Magic Milo and the Magic Wands act at The Nurses' Ball.

On May 6, Kevin and Laura reached out to Yuri to be their translator and guide in Chechnya, to which he agreed as he's between jobs. They got his number from Brook Lynn, and learned Valentin gave Yuri the summer off with full pay & benefits.
