From Con Artist To Stepford Wife
Before she came back from the dead, Diane (Susan Walters) was a known con artist and social climber. She tried to marry the richest man in town. At one point, Diane and Victor (Eric Braeden) were married. Does Diane know Victor more than Jack does on Y&R? She even tried to have a Newman baby.
She was someone who was manipulative and untrustworthy. Diane was a ruthless woman who tried to secure her place in the Abbott family, and it worked in her favor. She faked her own death. But Jack (Peter Bergman) didn’t blink twice at that, and the two eventually reunited and got married.
Diane’s demeanor changed over the years. She became the voice of reason for the Abbott family, especially when business and personal lines get blurred. However, it appears that Jack and Diane are switching personalities. He told Diane that he’s convinced that Jill (Jess Walton) will hand over Cane’s (Billy Flynn) A.I. software to him.
Taking a Page From Diane’s Book
Diane can’t trust Jill like she can’t trust Cane. She believes that Jill would give the A.I. to Victor, just as she had given Chancellor over to him. Yet, Jack doesn’t think that will happen once he convinces Jill to allow him to destroy it. After all, he’s more trustworthy than The Mustache. Or is he?
Diane wondered whether Jack would destroy the program once he got it. He said he might… Or he could use it on Victor and Newman Enterprises.
No, this wasn’t Diane’s plan. But it seems like she’s subconsciously luring Jack to the dark side. He can’t help but think about the hell that Victor has caused Jabot, their son Kyle (Michael Mealor), and his relationship with Claire (Hayley Erin).
Victor can’t get over the fact that Jack helped Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) back on the road to sobriety. This could be their way to finally get revenge on Victor. Meanwhile, Victor is playing Jack while he’s plotting Cane’s downfall.
Diane understood what Jack meant because this sounded like a page out of her book, not his. He’s under Diane’s spell, and now he’s thinking about her. The couple even shared a passionate kiss, since they’re excited about venturing to the dark side together.
