- Why this story is both played out and soapy goodness.
Here We Go Again But With a Twist
Ever since Jack (Peter Bergman) went to drastic measures to keep Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) sober, Victor’s (Eric Braeden) hatred for him has been at an all-time high. Victor even used Kyle (Michael Mealor) for a little payback against smiling Jack Abbott.
Speaking with Soap Opera Digest, Bergman teased that now Victor has nothing but “gut-wrenching hatred” for Jack after the night in the hotel with Nikki. The rivalry is taken to a new level, and Bergman, for one, is thrilled to have a “renewed reason” for this legendary feud.
Y&R fans, though, are a bit mixed when it comes to this historic soap battle.
“I am so sick of Victor Newman & his vendetta against Jack #YR Think of a new story writers…..,” declared a fan on X.
Another fan called the scene where Jack faces off with Victor after finding out the mustache has Cane’s AI program, “Classic Victor and Jack !!” and we agree.
Here’s the thing about this iconic soap rivalry. Two things can be true. Yes, Victor’s vendetta and attitude toward Jack are played out, as is Victor constantly being on his high horse.
That being said, this feud is also soapy goodness simply because of Braeden and Bergman. Watching those two spar in a scene is pure gold each and every time.
Sure, it’s nice to see Jack and Victor have a ceasefire from time to time. Bergman and Braeden nail those moments, too.
However, there’s so much history between these two men that watching their rivalry heat up just fills us with nostalgia and also gives off a sense of normalcy.
