Here’s What’s Really Going On With Jordan On The Young and the Restless

Jordan doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit on The Young and the Restless. How many times has she escaped police custody? How many times has she fooled people who otherwise assume they’re the smartest in the room? Lots. The answer is lots and lots. So, would you be surprised if she tried this Hail Mary play? Given Victor’s requests of Cole and Michael on June 11 and 12, it would seem The Mustache has moved his focus to Jack Abbott, which could open up the door for Jordan to terrorize the Newmans again.

Mind Games

Do you know what else Jordan (Colleen Zenk) is really, really good at? Brainwashing people. Jordan is really good at brainwashing people. She convinced Claire (Hayley Erin) for literally decades that she was tossed away and unwanted by the Newmans.

So how hard could it be for Jordan to convince Cole (J. Eddie Peck) to be on her side, especially given Victor’s (Eric Braeden) recent involvement of Cole in an insidious revenge plan? How would she do that? By claiming she isn’t Jordan, after all. She’s really Eve, Cole’s presumed dead mother. We’re not buying that Jordan is locked away in maximum security for good, and we bet she’ll find her way out of it, and she’ll get in touch with Cole eventually.

Follow the Evidence

She’s got some pretty good proof. Cole admitted that he never met his aunt Jordan. So if Eve and Jordan were estranged, why in the world would Jordan have kidnapped her great-niece? Certainly not to avenge a sister she never saw. It makes much more sense for Eve to fake her death — after all, she’d tried to kill Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and Victor would never let an offense against one of his possessions go — but then to kidnap her granddaughter…and namesake, to raise now that she could no longer be around Cole.

It’s the Name of the Game

To be honest, her name always struck us as a big clue that something was wrong. Jordan only became a popular girl’s name in the mid-1980s. It didn’t even crack the top 1000 until 1978.

So what are the odds that Mr. and Mrs. Howard would have named their baby daughter Jordan in the early 1950s. Doesn’t it make much more sense that it was a name Eve made up when she was choosing a new identity twenty or so years ago? After all, the name Claire also peaked in popularity around the turn of this century. Jordan clearly likes her trends.

Either Way

But whether it’s true or not, isn’t it much more likely that Cole can resist the desperate pleas for freedom from his aunt than he would from his own mother? If Jordan starts screwing with Cole’s sanity by insisting she’s his long-lost mother, all bets are off.

What do you think? Is evil Aunt Jordan gone for good? Or will she be back in no time to wreak more havoc on the Newmans (and maybe the Abbotts, too, for good measure)?
