Colleen Zenk is wowing fans as Jordan on The Young and the Restless. The soap opera vet began playing the Genoa City villain in November 2023. Jordan became a thorn in the side of the Newmans as she sought revenge for her late sister, Eve. While her schemes are entertaining, many wonder if she can change her evil ways.
Who Can Redeem Jordan?
Since popping up on Y&R, Jordan has committed many crimes. She and her niece Claire (Hayley Erin) kidnapped Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), then poisoned and held the Newman family hostage. The Newmans were rescued thanks to Claire, who was Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole’s (J. Eddie Peck) daughter.
Jordan managed to escape arrest and began stalking Nikki, causing the Newman matriarch to drink. The Newmans tried to track down Jordan, but she was always one step ahead of them. Her list of crimes stretched to include killing Seth (Brian Gaskill), kidnapping Claire, and burning down Victoria’s house.
Jordan was eventually caught by Victor, who locked her in his basement. However, she was later transferred to prison with Cole and Michael’s (Christian LeBlanc) help. Recently, it was revealed that Jordan had escaped prison and teamed up with Ian (Ray Wise).
Jordan has become one of Y&R best villains, yet there’s always the question of whether she can be redeemed. In a recent interview with TV Insider, Zenk revealed if Jordan can turn her life around.
“I don’t know,” the actress said. “I do think the love she has for her niece Claire would be the thing that could help redeem Jordan. On all my years at As the World Turns, the thing that was redemptive for Barbara Ryan was her love for her children,” Zenk explained. “While there are some similarities, Jordan is a horrible human being! So, I don’t know what the answer to that is.”
Since Jordan’s working with Ian, it looks like there might not be any chance of redemption for her. However, with tension brewing between the partners, Jordan could become an unlikely hero by taking out Ian and saving Genoa City.
