Cane’s return has shaken up The Young and the Restless in ways we didn’t expect. It’s even led to a shocking alliance between Jack and Victor. However, Diane still can’t trust Victor, and rightfully so.
Key Takeaways
- Actress Susan Walters shared her thoughts on Diane’s involvement in Jack and Victor’s alliance.
- She claims that Diane could take Victor down since she knows him better than anyone else does.
- Diane thinks Victor will betray Jack by putting him in a risky situation.
Diane Knows Best
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Walters touched on Diane’s history with Victor (played by Eric Braeden). Victor and Diane were once in love with one another. Victor pursued Diane as a way to get revenge on Jack, but he ended up falling in love with her.
The couple got married and lived a happy life. Diane was desperate to have a child, but Victor wanted to get a vasectomy. So, she stored his sperm with the intention of having his child.
In the interview, Walters noted that Victor is that guy in town that everybody’s very scared of, and he’s extremely powerful.” Victor is still trying to get back at Jack, after all these years. And he could use this alliance to his advantage.
Diane is aware of how ruthless Victor can be when it comes to personal and business. But she refuses to be one of those people who’re scared of him.
“She knows him in a different way than Jack does,” Walter says. “So, I’m not going to be as frightened of Victor on a personal level as [Jack and Diane] would be on a professional level.”
Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands
So, Diane is willing to handle Victor herself. Walters is confident that her onscreen alter ego can tackle the job, if need be. While she doesn’t want to make any moves that could cost her career, she also doesn’t want Jack to end up in danger ever again.
Additionally, Diane has no problem stepping in if Jack gets into trouble due to his involvement with Victor and Cane (Billy Flynn). She’s willing to take the lead, as Y&R fans want Diane to return to the dark side.
Walters feels that her on-screen husband is “completely competent” to handle the job, but she believes that Diane could bring “another level” that’s unique to women.
