Despite The Young and the Restless sibling rivalry between Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Jack (Peter Bergman) looking like it would come to a peaceful resolution at the insistence of Traci (Beth Maitland) during the week of June 19, that positive outlook may quickly change with the jaw-dropping news that Jack is promoting Diane (Susan Walters) to Jabot’s chief talent officer.
In the episode airing on June 28, Jack defends his right as CEO of Jabot to make such a decision to Billy (Jason Thompson). However, as the youngest of the Abbott siblings wisely points out, Jack promoting his fiancé is only to anger Ashley, and moreover, it only fuels her claims that Diane is using Jack to further her career.
