Walking Away
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) has always stuck by Victor’s (Eric Braeden) side. Despite his history of bad behavior, Nikki’s love for her husband never wavered. But Victor’s quest to regain Newman and Chancellor is testing the couple’s marriage.
After Cane (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis’ (Michelle Stafford) takeover of Newman, Victor hatched a plan: he’d kidnap Lily (Christel Khalil) and the twins to get Cane to return the company. Although Nikki voiced her concerns, she went along with Victor’s plan.
However, she soon worried her husband was going too far. Her worst fear was suspected when she learned that Victor had kidnapped Jack (Peter Bergman). When Nikki confronted her husband, an argument ensued with Victor kicking her out of the ranch.
With Nikki moving out, things aren’t looking good for Niktor. On a soap opera message board, many fans wondered if a divorce is imminent.
Most fans don’t want to see the beloved couple split. “I am one viewer who does not want Nikki to divorce Victor! The writers have written him in a terrible way lately that it is so hard to watch him like this…I truly believe Victor loves Nikki very much.”
However, some fans think divorce is a good idea. “I always felt Nikki and Victor belonged together, but now with this latest behavior, I want him to lose her.”
“I think this union is over for good this time! Victor is so far gone, and his ill treatment of Nikki isn’t helping, but I think Victor kidnapping Jack was the last straw for Nikki,” wrote one commenter.
Will Nikki Come Back?
As Y&R fans know, Nikki and Victor’s splits don’t last long. Within a few months, the couple is back together and happier than ever.
While Nikki has been able to overlook Victor’s crimes in the past, this may be one instance where she can’t forgive or forget. Jack is one of Nikki’s friends and he’s been her rock throughout the years. For Victor to do something this heinous to someone she cares about is unforgivable.
In the past, Victor may have wooed Nikki back with some charming words and luxury gifts. But it’s going to take a lot more to fix this latest mess in his marriage.
