‘The Young And The Restless’ Spoilers Thursday, April 17: Nikki Mediates, Jack & Diane’s Defense Strategy

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, April 17, 2025, are here! In tomorrow’s episode, fans can expect Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) to mediate.

However, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) stands firm against the Abbott family. Meanwhile, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters) strategize their defense.

Keep reading and let’s discuss what’s coming up in the next episode of the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our next week Y&R spoilers, here!)

Victor Newman’s Firm Stance

In tomorrow’s episode, Victor will stand firm on the Abbott family. Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) has tried numerous times to get the patriarch to move on.

However, he is stuck on making the Abbotts pay, especially Jack and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). 

Despite Jack and Kyle learning about the deception at Jabot, Victor isn’t going to back off. Plus, Victor uses several tactics at once.

So, while the Abbotts figured out the Jabot plants, there could be other strikes coming. So, Jack shouldn’t be gloating just yet.

Nikki Newman Mediates

As Victor vents and complains about Jack, Nikki will try to keep the peace. Jack is Nikki’s good and long-time friend.

Nikki also credits Jack with sacrificing everything, including his recovery and life, just to get her into rehab. 

Of course, there is also Kyle’s romance with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). Claire hasn’t answered Kyle on moving in together. Once Victor learns about it, though, he will step up his scheme.

Fans know that Victor has enticed Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) into the plan.

However, Audra should look at Victor’s history before agreeing to anything. Audra might be desperate, but Victor screwed her before, and will do it again.

Jack Abbott Strategizes

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Jack and Kyle have convinced the spy to be a double agent.

They might think they have the upper hand again, but Victor is honestly more scary than Jack and Kyle put together.  In any case, Jack and Kyle think they have the key to winning against Victor.

Thursday, April 17, 2025

Meanwhile, Jack and Diane will put their heads together. In light of the discovery at Jabot, they will strategize their defense.

Since Diane has been feeling like an outsider, Jack could have her be a big part of the strategy session to make her feel more included.

Besides, Diane has more valuable talents than redesigning a manor. Diane faked her own death and got away with so much more.

So, maybe Diane’s devious talents can help save Jabot – and earn her some respect.
