The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Ian Ward (Ray Wise) and Patty Williams’ (Stacy Haiduk) notorious history intersected in the recent past. Considering recent Newman and Abbott family developments, this dynamically dysfunctional duo could truly reengage in chaos if they were return, together, again.
The Newman family and its business is currently vulnerable because of a renewed fight between Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden).
The Abbott family is fully focused on Dina Mergeron’s (Marla Adams) deteriorating condition that’s resulted due to her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Both Genoa City, Wisconsin, families are vulnerable to further mayhem that their former enemies can cause.
Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ian Ward’s Pursuit Of The Newman’s
Ian was last seen four years ago. He had taken Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Phyllis Summers (as then played by Gina Tognoni) hostage at the Abbott cabin. Victor convinced Ian that he would fulfill his ransom demand. But Ian was fooled and received nothing.
Victor was given a gun by Ian and told to do what had to be done. But Victor maintained his composure, which allowed Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton) time to arrive, arrest the man who claimed to be his father when the Ian character was first introduced, and take him to jail.
Clearly another escape from the authorities will be necessary in order for Ian to return to GC. He’d be likely to head for the Ranch for a direct confrontation, or to work on a longterm revenge plan with a former accomplice who devoted fans are very familiar with.
Young And The Restless Spoilers – Patty Williams’ Extensive Backstory
Lilibet Stern (the original Patty Williams) joined the cast in 1981. She married Jack Abbott (as then played by Terry Lester), who later cheated on her with Diane Jenkins (as then played by Alex Donnelley). Patty eventually shot Jack for that betrayal.
Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) sister battled many mental health issues through the years. Viewers last saw her in 2016, when she had plastic surgery that made her look exactly like Doctor Emily Peterson (Haiduk, who was then working the dual role).
Patty killed Doctor Sandy Anderson (Elizabeth Bogush), who was exacting her own revenge plot against Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow). In that storyline, Patty was actually trying to expose the truth about Sandy’s misdeeds.
Young And The Restless Spoilers – New Games To Be Played
It would be intriguing if Ian were to locate Patty after he escapes from prison. Whether he aids her escape from the facility where she’s been contained these past years, or he just runs into her in a soapy coincidence can be part of the developing storyline.
Both characters believe they have scores to settle. Victor and Nikki would clearly be Ian’s target, with Adam being another point of his twisted interest. Jack would surely be Patty’s renewed obsession.
