Younger and the Stressed sees Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) going off the deep finish, and his total household thinks he’s going too far and must be stopped. However will they do one thing about it? We’re going to speak about how Victor’s household would possibly unite in opposition to him as a result of he’s so hungry for revenge and uncontrolled.
Proper now, within the wake of Michael Baldwin (Christian Leblanc) strolling away from him, Victor has come completely unhinged. We’ve seen him going after Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), however now truthfully, Victor’s worse than ever earlier than, worse than he has been in fairly some time.
We all know he’s meddling in Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin)’s relationship with Kyle and he’s secretly scheming to interrupt them up. He’s acquired Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) plotting to separate them, and Claire has found out that Victor and Audra are conspiring, however she’s acquired no thought the filthy extent of it.
Younger and the Stressed: Victor’s Vengeance
Proper now, we’ve simply acquired Victor being extra vengeful than I can bear in mind lately. He’s lashing out. He’s snapping at individuals, and it’s fairly clear Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) can’t management Victor and she or he’s fearful about how unhealthy he’s going to get now that he doesn’t have Michael because the voice of motive.
And naturally, Victor at all times going to do what Victor desires to do. However when Michael was working for him, to some extent, he might reign in Victor or attempt to mitigate the harm or purchase a while. Michael was at all times making an attempt to do issues to get his boss to settle down and simply to not hearken to the satan on his shoulder. Michael was making an attempt to be the angel on the opposite shoulder.
Victor Newman Revenge Spirals Out of Management on Y&R
Now, Nikki’s afraid Victor goes to focus extra on coming between Claire and Kyle. After which Nikki went and advised Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) about that. And their daughter wasn’t completely satisfied in any respect. So then we noticed Victoria chewing out Victor about his meddling, and she or he mainly threw down a gauntlet. Victoria threatened her dad that she would by no means forgive Victor if he interferes with Claire and Kyle’s relationship.
So, Victoria is already livid, and she or he’s acquired firsthand expertise about what his meddling does as a result of Victor has messed with most of her relationships. He has ruined most of her marriages. Victoria doesn’t need this for Claire.
And naturally, Nikki agrees with Victoria, and she or he doesn’t need Victor interfering with Kyle and Claire however Nikki’s so much gentler with Victor than his children are. And Nikki lets loads of stuff slide that she most likely shouldn’t. So, Victoria already advised Victor the place she stands, so her dad’s been warned.
Will Claire Stand As much as Victor’s Management?
After which there’s Claire, who Victor might very properly lose if he’s not cautious. And naturally, we all know Claire adores her grandfather and she or he’s so completely satisfied to lastly have her organic household and to have their acceptance. So, Victor and his approval means an entire lot to her.
However on the identical time, Claire spent her entire upbringing being managed by revenge loopy nice aunt Jordan Howard (Colleen Zenk). And no, Victor is not quite as unhealthy as Jordan however he’s positively additionally revenge loopy. And I simply don’t assume Claire goes to tolerate anyone making an attempt to regulate her life like that once more, regardless of how a lot she loves Victor.
I believe that what we’ll see is that Claire is simply going to tolerate a lot from Victor earlier than she pushes again laborious. And if Claire has to stroll away from Victor at the very least for a minute to provide him a actuality test about what his actions might value him, I believe Claire would possibly do it. I believe she’s acquired extra spine than a lot of the different Newmans mixed. And Victor might very properly lose Victoria and Claire each due to his hardline stance.
Younger and the Stressed: Adam Caught Between Victor and Chelsea
After which there’s Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) who’s caught between a rock and a tough place. He simply introduced Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) on as his COO at Newman Media. Victor’s plan is to attempt to destroy Billy’s new firm, AbbottCom, simply because it’s launching, utilizing Newman Media as a instrument of destruction. And that’s already inflicting friction between Adam and Chelsea.
And naturally, Victor desires Adam to be his obedient little lap canine and do no matter he says. Victor desires to make use of Newman Media as a weapon in opposition to Billy and the opposite Abbotts and in opposition to all his perceived enemies. However after all, Chelsea has an ethical code. I imply, it’s newer, however it’s nonetheless there.
She doesn’t need to be ruthless and devious. That’s not what she stands for anymore, regardless of her conwoman and sketchy previous. Plus, there’s the truth that Chelsea nonetheless feels actually responsible that she and Adam cheated on Billy and Sally. So, after all, Chelsea doesn’t need to go after the enterprise they’re beginning.
However Victor, he doesn’t care. And he advised Adam, “Look, your loyalty is to me, your father, earlier than Chelsea,” though Victor’s the one which needed them reunited. So, Adam’s struggling as a result of he doesn’t need to lose Chelsea due to Victor’s excessive antics. He and Chelsea simply began their relationship over. They’re in a extremely good place proper now. So, after all, Adam doesn’t need Victor to break issues for them.
And for that motive alone, I might see Adam both able the place he looks like he has to stroll away from Newman Media or give Victor an ultimatum. Cease pushing me or I’ll stop and stroll away from Newman Media. I imply, Adam’s wealthy anyway, but in addition he can get a job someplace else like Jabot. Talking of aggravating his dad, and naturally, Victor can be livid if he left, however he’s the one who’s pushing Adam and simply could push Adam too far in coming days.
Younger and the Stressed: Will the Newman Household Unite Towards Victor?
And so, proper now, different son Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) is on Victor’s aspect, however that would change. We heard Nick assuring his dad that he can belief him, however on the identical time, Nick doesn’t need a battle both, and he’s amicable with Jack and others. Nick doesn’t need Victor going after the Abbotts, and neither does Nikki. So, with Michael gone, it’s sort of as much as them to faucet the brakes or at the very least strive. So, Nick would possibly get on board with Nikki and his siblings and agree that they should do one thing about Victor.
The Mustache goes to maintain lashing out till one thing or somebody stops him. Victor’s not going to cease on his personal. And I do suspect one thing goes down at Nikki’s birthday celebration. We all know the social gathering just isn’t going to get Victor to just accept Kyle like Claire desires. And if something, it may need the alternative impact. And naturally, Claire’s going to be devastated.
So, she would possibly lead the cost in opposition to Victor. She would possibly rally her mother Victoria, grandma Nikki, and her uncles Adam and Nick to insurgent in opposition to their patriarch. They could stand collectively as a united entrance and hit Victor with only a assertion. Cease the loopy habits otherwise you’re going to lose everyone. That could be a tougher promote for Nikki who’s Victor’s chief enabler.
So, she’d be the one they’d have to speak into actually standing with them. However possibly if the youngsters and grandkids and Adam push on her, Nikki would possibly really stand with them and let Victor know all of them assume he’s uncontrolled and that he can’t preserve manipulating everyone or he’s going to lose everyone.
Younger and the Stressed: Potential Showdown at Nikki’s Occasion?
We’ll see if there’s a showdown at Nikki’s social gathering as a result of Victor’s getting dangerously near pushing his total household away. Will they lastly take a stand in opposition to the good Victor or will he preserve alienating them and them preserve enabling him? I’m hoping for a showdown.
