Every few years or so on The Young and the Restless, the great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) goes down a dark path, professing whatever he’s doing is for his family. However, when that happens, he usually goes way too far and winds up isolating the very ones he claims to love. If you need an example, just recall when Victor brought Jack’s (Peter Bergman) lookalike Marco to town to hijack the Jabot CEO’s life. That had disastrous consequences all around and left many in the Newman family livid.
Well in a case of deja vu, Victor is about to shake things up in Genoa City again, partially because of his decades-long vendetta with Jack. The Newman patriarch is still outraged with Jack for his wake-up call-bender night with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and he cannot stand that Nikki and Jack continue to befriend each other despite Victor’s harsh warning to Jack to stay away from his wife.
