Victor Newman’s Scheme

Let’s start off with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). The patriarch has put together a new plan against Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

Fans know that Victor and Victoria paid off most of the employees of Phyllis’ company to quit.

There’s not a whole lot of people left, putting Phyllis as well as Summers Conglomerate at risk. After all, a company can’t run if there aren’t any employees.

The few that are remaining might not stick around for much longer.

Victor also has a new AI program.

This program is reportedly going to shoot criminal evidence back against Phyllis. That could force her to give Victor what he wants, which is everything!

Victoria Newman Digs

As for Victoria, she is going to do some digging and push some buttons. Victoria might try to get under Phyllis’ skin.

Victoria will surely remind Phyllis that she doesn’t even have her children anymore, and now she has no company left either.

Victoria really stung Phyllis with Summer Newman (Allison Lanier). 

While Phyllis might have lost for now, she will vow payback.

Diane Jenkins Abbott’s Bitterness

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, April 22 reveal that Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) will continue to be bitter.

However, she is about to get a very unpleasant surprise!

Jack Abbott Caught

Diane walks in to see Jack and Nikki in a compromising position. Jack and Nikki are likely just leaning on each other for support.

However, Diane will view it as Jack betraying her yet again.

To be honest, Nikki really tried to extend an olive branch to Diane, but it was shoved back in the blonde’s face.

If I had a partner like Diane, I wouldn’t stick around either. It’s one thing to be doubtful and uncertain. It’s not okay for her to act the way she’s acting. 

In any case, Diane will lash out once again. The woman might claim this is just proof that Jack is a cheater, even though he’s not.

I worry that by the time Diane wisens up, she will have already lost Jack for good.
