The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Diane’s Return Creates Epic Drama, Disastrous Fallout

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that there will be epic fallout from Diane Jenkins’ (Susan Walters) return from the dead. The undead vixen is hellbent on reclaiming her life and that includes Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and their son Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor).

What kind of tidal waves can Genoa City, Wisconsin residents expect upon her return? The show’s head writer and co-EP is teasing details and we have the story for you here.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Kyle Abbott Will Be Shocked And Amazed

Josh Griffith told Soap Opera Digest that Diane probably misjudged how her initial manipulation of Jack’s long-lost granddaughter would go down. He noted, “On one hand, Nikki will be, ‘Oh, thank God I never killed her,’ but on the other hand, ‘Now I want to kill her!’”

Diane was presumed dead by Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) hand, and while the Newman matriarch will be relieved that she can cross ‘Killer’ off her resume, she will no doubt be livid once the initial shock wears off.

According to Griffith, “We’re doing a slow simmer on that side that will be building because we have two great players in Susan and Mel that will make this all fantastic.”

Diane is genuine in wanting to forge a relationship with Kyle but how will he feel after being duped all these years? Jack has made it a point to say that the young Kyle cried buckets of tears for his dead mom, and we have a feeling he will not be in the mood for her version of revisionist history.

Nonetheless, Griffith adds, “She’s coming in, saying, ‘I know everybody hates me but I’ve got to silence that noise because all I care about is making amends to my son.’ But silencing the noise and making amends with Kyle will be easier said than done.”

Kyle will return home from Italy where he is currently living and working with Summer Newman (Hunter King) and his young son whom Diane cannot wait to get her hands on. That won’t happen without a fight from Kyle.

Griffith concludes: “The profoundly emotional aspect of the story is Diane’s desperate desire to make up for all those years to the son she abandoned. This puts a lot on Kyle, who has to decide, ‘Can I forgive her for all of this?’ This will not be an easy road for him and we’re thrilled to have Michael [Mealor, Kyle] back.”
