Diane Jenkins Abbott’s Hope

Let’s start with Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters). The woman will leave Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) a message.

The woman hopes that she can get things back with Jack, but things don’t go according to plan. In the end, this will turn out to be a bad dream for Diane. 

However, Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) and Jack might also have a secret love child.

In the dream, Jack won’t want Diane anymore and will be in love with Patty. So, Diane’s dream could be part prediction and part fear.

Jack Abbott’s Scheme

Over at Society, Jack will continue playing mind games with Patty. While Patty is crazy, I do feel bad that Jack is using her feelings to get his way.

Of course, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) did go too far. However, I think this scheme of Jack’s is going to backfire. 

Jack wants to make sure that, since he lost Diane, Victor loses Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) forever.

Phyllis Summers’ Offer

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, May 15, reveal that Phyllis Summer (Michelle Stafford) has set Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) up in a hotel room.

She even had the mini-bar fully stocked to keep him placated. However, Phyllis is really wanting to make a deal with Victor. 

One would think Matt would be more important to Victor than Newman Enterprises. However, he isn’t willing to let Phyllis have his legacy.

Phyllis will also try to get Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) to help her make a deal.  Still, I’m not sure if Michael can get Victor to agree to Phyllis’ terms.

In other news, Nick makes a big mistake. Does this have to do with Phyllis’s deal, or will he score some more painkillers?

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) are getting ready to jet off to New York City.

While Claire is just there for moral support, I do wonder if they will get freaky again.

Claire might have backed away from Holden after that night of passion, but she looked like she was really enjoying it.

So, I wonder if Holden and Claire could get even closer in New York.
