Based on where both Jack and Nikki are in their respective relationships these days on The Young and the Restless, is this couple ready to give love another try?
Key Takeaways
- Diane discovered Jack in bed with Patty.
- Nikki walked out on Victor over Jack’s kidnapping.
- These ex-spouses could give love another try.
Dazed and Confused
Diane (Susan Walters, who wants to see a juicy storyline) was hysterically worried about her kidnapped husband. She, Billy (Jason Thompson), and Kyle (Michael Mealor) raced to Jack’s (Peter Bergman) rescue. Diane was thrilled to find him… until she realized he was in bed with his first wife, Patty (Stacy Haiduk).
This was a particularly fun blast from the past for longtime viewers, as almost 40 years ago, Ashley (Eileen Davidson) discovered Jack in bed with Diane… on his and Patty’s wedding day. Diane didn’t want to hear excuses about drugs and diminished capacity.
End of the Road
When Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) discovered that Victor (Eric Braeden) had kidnapped Jack and was using him to blackmail Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), she told her husband she didn’t approve. He barked that she could go ahead and leave him then (confident that Nikki never would… for long).
And yet she packed her bags and moved out. Victor is too busy to be concerned. Or try to win her back.
Together Again
Nikki and Jack used to be married. And they remained very close friends. Now he’s estranged from his wife. She’s estranged from her husband. This is a soap. What, oh, what, could they possibly do about that, we wonder.
Actually, we don’t wonder. We know. What we do wonder is what would happen if the son Nikki and Jack thought they’d lost at birth were to suddenly pop up alive and well… Why could they be a family? The one they were once planning to be.
