The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease no one would blame Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters) and Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) for being angry. Summer’s furious with Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) over Claire Grace (Hayley Erin), while Diane’s fed up with his actions at Jabot; could this lead to the ladies joining forces against them?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – There’s Trouble In Genoa City With A Capital T!
There’s trouble in Genoa City with a capital T, due to all the feuds these days- Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) are still at each other’s throats.
Now, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) are back at it with their long-standing feud, and lately, Summer has been targeting her newly discovered cousin Claire.
Summer remains unwavering in her belief that Claire is wicked and untrustworthy, despite the countless objections raised by Victor, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).
Despite the evidence proving Claire’s innocence in Harrison Abbott’s (Redding Munsell) kidnapping, Summer remains steadfast in blaming her.

It seems that Summer’s animosity towards her cousin stems mostly from jealousy, as she constantly finds reasons to despise her.
Y & R Spoilers – Harrison Abbott Loves Claire Grace And Kyle Abbott’s A Fierce Defender
Harrison has developed a strong affection for Claire, making extra efforts to spend time with her, while Kyle has emerged as one of Claire’s most loyal supporters.
Summer might find it painful to witness her son and ex-husband forming close bonds with a new woman, almost as if she’s being pushed aside.
Summer made it clear that she didn’t want Kyle and their son near Claire, fearing her exposure to the evil Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) would cloud her judgment.

However, fate had other plans when she spotted them together during the week of May 6; it turned out, they simply bumped into each other at the park.
Summer, on the other hand, completely disregarded the fact that the park outing was a mere coincidence and she completely lost it.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Summer Newman Has A Manipulative Side Of Her Own
Imagine Summer’s manipulative side coming out as she takes matters into her own hands, seeking allies and Diane enters the scene, and she hasn’t been too pleased with her son lately.
The clash between Diane and Kyle intensified over their roles at Jabot, also leading to a heated confrontation over Jack during the week of May 6.
Diane is seething with anger as her husband jeopardized his sobriety and well-being to rescue Nikki.
On the other hand, Kyle, although not thrilled about his father’s risky act, has shown remarkable understanding and empathy towards him.
Unfortunately, their contrasting views on Jack have only deepened the rift between the mother and son.
Y & R Spoilers – Summer Newman’s Mom In The Mix?
In the upcoming episode on May 10, Summer’s mom, Phyllis has a meeting with her longtime romantic rival over Jack, Diane; Phyllis expresses her concerns.
She tells Diane about Summer not wanting Claire to be around Harrison, and how Kyle is not respecting her wishes; at first, Diane tries to stay out of the situation.
We can picture a scenario where Summer also meets with Diane and opens up about her ongoing battle with Kyle; Diane knows Claire was a target of Jordan’s schemes.
She also has some reservations about Claire spending time with her grandson due to Claire’s history; might Diane offer Summer guidance on keeping Claire away from Harrison? Even though Diane has changed her ways, her scheming ways could still give Phyllis a run for her money.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Clashes Ahead At Jabot
Diane and Kyle are on a collision course at Jabot; he’s set his sights on the co-CEO position that Diane currently holds, and it’s bound to create some fireworks.
Jack, caught in the middle, may try to mediate between his wife and son, or he might just stay out of the whole mess.
If he chooses the latter, Kyle could make a bold move and rally the other executives at Jabot to overthrow Diane and take her place.
But here’s the twist – Kyle will need Summer’s support, as she’s the CEO of the Marchetti division. Will Diane beat him to the punch and win Summer over before Kyle can make his move?
Y & R Spoilers – A Quid Pro Quo In The Works?
If Diane lends a hand to Summer in resolving the Claire/Harrison dilemma, it would be fair for Summer to reciprocate and support her in return. If our intuition is accurate, the corporate realm of Genoa City will witness even more internal conflicts.
The situation at Chancellor-Winters is already dire, with Devon Hamilton-Winters (Bryton James) and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) constantly at odds and the company on the brink of collapse.
Billy, of course is Jack’s younger half-brother and Victoria’s ex-husband, Diane and Summer could enlist him in the Abbott-Newman conflict as well.
It’s easy to see how Diane and Summer could team up to take down both Kyle and Claire, and make sure she never gets near Harrison or Kyle again!
