Traci Abbott Returns Home in Nick of Time
In Tuesday’s episode, Diane (Susan Walters) is frantically checking her phone. She sent Michael (Christian Le Blanc) a text message, asking what he found about Victor (Eric Braeden).
Traci (Beth Maitland) returns home at the right time. She’s already aware of what’s happening with the Abbotts, thanks in part to that hit piece released by Newman Media.
Diane informed Traci that she has Michael helping them. She refuses to back down to Victor. But she doesn’t just need Michael’s help. She also needs Traci’s help with saving the Abbott Christmas.
Traci’s Message Means Everything
Traci returned to New York this year after her fiancé, Alan (Christopher Cousins), was revealed to be his evil twin brother. She’s been on the show here and there, mostly returning home for holidays and special occasions.
Y&R viewers will be ecstatic to hear that she’s finally getting her own storyline, even if it’s just for the holiday season. It’s up to her to save the Abbott Christmas, as the family is in shambles over the Jabot shutdown and the news coming out.
Traci feels good to be able to help her family. However, she told Diane that she thinks she’s the fighter that the family needs right now. They’re lucky to have her on their side.
Traci is the perfect person to remind Diane to embrace the spirit of the season. It’s a simple message that could make a significant shift. The Abbotts need to remember that it’s important to fight for what matters most.
The family needs to focus on what they have during this time, which is each other. Nothing will be able to tear them apart, not even The Mustache.
