The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers document that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) currently holds power at Jabot. Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) does not believe he is handling it well but appears to want a truce with her oldest brother.
Viewers know that Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) created a plan, that Jack liked. It involved Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) pretending to have a falling out with Jack that purposefully happened in front of Ashley and Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John).
Ashley recently told Abby Newman Abbott (Melissa Ordway) that she was tired of the fighting and was not going to battle Jack any longer.
But the audience knew she also approached Billy about serving as a Trojan Horse inside Jabot while not knowing that he agreed to conspire against her and Tucker.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Easier For Jack Abbott To Retain Power?
Is it easier to retain power if one holds it?
Jack believes he is the rightful head of Jabot because of the loyalty he has delivered through the decades. Ashley endorsed Jack as the Chief Executive Officer of Jabot when agreeing to return from Paris, France, but that outlook radically changed when he allowed Diane back into his life.
Billy surprised Jack when he agreed to become his co-CEO in the recent past. Bergman’s character also believes his brother’s backing and the support of the Board keep power secured.
The Young And The Restless Updates – Ashley Abbott Must Use Numbers
The bottom line in any business involves how much money is being made and future projects of financial health. But Jack and Ashley have not been talking about Jabot’s profitability in recent months while they have engaged in personal attacks.
Ashley’s belief, which has been enthusiastically supported by Tucker, is that Diane’s ascension to the Chief Talent Officer position telegraphs trouble ahead.
But until the numbers show that how can Ashley convince the Board that Diane or Jack needs to go?
Billy Abbott Tried To Thread The Needle
Billy does not want his family to fight. He was suspicious of Diane when she reemerged in Jack’s life but has seen her better side and appears to be convinced that she has changed.
Thompson’s character made no bones about telling Tucker he still does not trust him. That alone would make it appear Billy will not do anything that gives the Ashley-Tucker combination a win over Jack and Diane.
However, Billy’s maturity and his genuine commitment to all things Abbott imply that he will make a push for family unity, with Jack and Ashley both being able to claim victory on Y&R.
