The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Victor (Eric Braeden) isn’t actually evolving. Instead, he’s putting on airs in order to pretend as though life has made him wiser. Genoa City will eventually learn that the Dark Knight still lives inside this same old man.
Hey, give the man some credit. Victor was genuinely affected by Adam’s (Justin Hartley) death. He has been kinder to Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and various family members since that apparent tragic event last September. His refreshed dealings with loved ones have been better, for now. But when it comes to business, Victor is the same slithering snake in the grass.
Lauren (Tracy Bregman) was desperate. Scott (Daniel Hall) was kidnapped and her sister (Jill, Jess Walton) wasn’t in a position to give her $10 million to meet the ransom demand. So Lauren went to the Newman Ranch and plead her case. Victor agreed to help, followed through on his promise and ensured Scott’s safe passage home via Kevin’s (Greg Rikaart) bravery.
Michael (Christian Le Blanc) has had many dealings with Victor through the years. Yes, lawyers do know where the bodies are buried. Actually, they calculate the best type of cement shoes to use during fluid funerals. That’s why Michael is rightfully fearful of Lauren’s indebtedness to the Great Man. A stake in Fenmore’s seems like the type of payback Victor will eventually choose.
Jackie-boy (Peter Bergman) is currently philandering with Gloria (Judith Chapman). Well, actually he’s doing a lot more than that. Might Victor be paying Gloworm to massage Jack’s neck during the overnight hours? Don’t rule it out, as Gloria has hated Jack for years. While motivated, it’s reasonable to believe that she’s also being directed by The Moustache.
Abby (Melissa Ordway) is sitting pretty in dad’s CEO chair inside Newman Towers. Yes, Victor has allowed her to tentatively take the reigns of his company. Having proved herself as far more than gorgeous, Abby isn’t immune from being pushed back at any moment. Nick (Joshua Morrow), Vickie (Amelia Heinle) and most especially the dearly departed Adam (if he’s actually dead) all experienced Victor’s wrath for varied reasons. So Abby shouldn’t never stop looking over both shoulders.
And speaking of Nick, who is it that has consistently encouraged Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) to withhold life-altering information about Christian’s (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) true paternity. Oh yes, that would be Victor. The moment this first-born son learns that the Dark Knight is withholding information about Christian their relationship will be over, again.
