I’ll admit right off the top, I’ve been a fan of The Young and the Restless bringing Colleen Zenk on as Jordan. The Jordan saga that kicked off in November 2023 shot a burst of energy and freshness into the soap that I've enjoyed. Without Jordan tormenting people as the Wicked Witch of Genoa City, we wouldn’t have gotten the incredible scenes from Melody Thomas Scott as Nikki spiraling out of control with her failing sobriety, and we wouldn’t have seen The Great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) spar with someone who fearlessly wanted to bury him and his family.
Jordan was also a joy to watch given what she meant to the storyline for Claire (Hayley Erin), Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole (J. Eddie Peck). She was the nucleus for the soap rewriting history and giving a long-lost daughter to Victoria, thawing the infamous ice princess in the process. Who doesn’t love a softer side of Vicki, which was also tapped into with her reuniting with arguably her most suitable mate ever (sorry fans of #Villy, but #Vole is less dramatic and toxic)?
