The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) has the right demeanor to handle Newman Media. As Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) said, her experience and reputation command respect.
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) shifted his wife into her current position to create stability and promote a coordinated vision of the company. The next step in Nikki’s process includes hiring an assistant who will start below Audra Charles’ (Zuleyka Silver) level.
The audience can see what Audra does. Considering Nikki’s pointed suggestions to her, it is reasonable to believe Claire could be a rising star.
Victor is big on trust. While his quixotic ways are legendary, there is a method to his soapy madness, or else the man would not be heading a billion-dollar-plus worldwide conglomerate.
Shifting Nikki away from the C-suite is possible because he returned to the helm. He had her working with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), who has been unceremoniously demoted to co-Chief Executive Officer, partially to serve as a guardrail.
Now that the Moustache has retaken the reigns, he does not need Nikki keeping an eye on him. So, she is heading Newman Media, which is a vital part of the business.
Audra’s known background involves working as Tucker McCall’s (Trevor St. John) right hand. But Nikki’s knowledge of her backstory began when Noah Newman (Rory Gibson) broke from her.
Noah’s relationship with Audra soured when both characters were off-screen. He did not learn that she miscarried his child until Audra revealed that sad information in Genoa City, Wisconsin.
Of course, Audra also has a personal relationship with Tucker and recently began the same with Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) while he was Summer Newman Abbott’s (Allison Lanier) husband.
Kyle was dismissed from what was his new position as Audra’s underling and she was told to stop seeing him. Audra later told Kyle that they were done after entertaining the idea of continuing their pairing in secret.
Nikki and Audra heard Claire’s pitch. She hit all the right notes, including the mention of playing the flute, which played into Nikki’s musical ability.
But hardcore fans know that every new character in Genoa City, Wisconsin, has information that will eventually be exposed.
Plus, devoted viewers appreciate that Erin, who is a daytime veteran, is delivering her second performance on this show after playing a younger version of Abby Newman Abbott (now played by Melissa Ordway) years ago on Y&R.
