The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Nikki Changes Course – Claire Enters Victor’s Lion’s Den

The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) doesn’t like her husband’s latest stunts. So, she needs allies.

That makes Claire Newman’s (Hayley Erin) decision to join her grandmother at Newman Enterprises intriguing. However, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) are very concerned about their recently rediscovered daughter entering the family lion’s den.

The word family translates to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). He is the head of Genoa City, Wisconsin’s legalized crime family. That label could be seen as rude for those who don’t know Christian Miller, who rebranded himself as a new man who is victorious.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Victor Newman Is The Boss

Victor has many people in his pocket. Buying select citizens of this famous Midwestern setting off or having information that puts them in compromising positions is what the Moustache does.

Maintaining control by obtaining power and exerting influence is how Victor built his eponymous business. As devoted viewers recall, he is Newman Enterprises and was willed Chancellor Industries over a decade ago.

Being the boss of Katherine Chancellor’s (Jeanne Cooper) landmark company was a fond reminder. She recruited Victor to move to GC and run the business in the years following her husband’s tragic death.

Nikki became the young woman that Katherine mentored in the 1980s when Braeden and Thomas Scott became daytime stars. They were among the couple’s counters to other soap opera’s top romantic pairings.

Katherine taught Nikki, a former dancer, proper etiquette. She also opened the gilded doors to GC’s society, with Nikki eventually becoming the top lady in town.

Victor’s move to put Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) in Nikki’s preferred spot at Newman Media wasn’t met with applause. Nikki took it as a slight, believing her beloved, multiple-time husband was being overly protective.

While he was concerned about Nikki’s recovery from Jordan Howard’s (Colleen Zenk) forced alcohol binge, he was not disrespecting his wife. Instead, his master plan was to make her the head of Chancellor, which he is still in the process of acquiring.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Claire Newman Enters The Arena Willingly

Claire was raised to loathe the Newman family. But she’s come to love them and wants to work for the family business.

Victoria and Cole’s reveal about Victor’s Chancellor takeover plan is causing Claire to consider her choice more deeply. However, like Nikki, she’s tough and likely will embrace the challenge.

Victor probably won’t handle Claire harshly, and Nikki almost certainly won’t. But there will come a day when Claire faces the same loyalty test that all Newmans do.

Betting odds favor Erin’s character, holding her own or succeeding and earning her grandparents’ deeper admiration in the town they’ve long ruled.
