Victor has gone kidnapping crazy on The Young and the Restless. His latest victim is Jack, who he’s using as leverage to regain control of his company. However, Victor might not be working alone in his scheme.
Key Takeaways
- Victor is resorting to kidnapping to get back Newman.
- After kidnapping Lily and the twins, he’s turned his attention to Jack.
- With Patty returning soon, speculation is she’s involved in Jack’s kidnapping.
Renewed Partnership?
Victor (Eric Braeden) is desperate to regain Newman. And desperate times call for desperate measures. The Moustache is playing dirty by kidnapping the family of his rivals.
First, he kidnapped Lily (Christel Khalil) and the twins to get Cane (Billy Flynn) to return Newman. However, that didn’t work, thanks to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford).
Now, Victor’s turned his attention to getting Chancellor back from Billy (Jason Thompson). To test Billy’s loyalty, Victor kidnapped Jack (Peter Bergman) and warned they’ll never see Jack again unless Chancellor is returned.
Victor kidnapping Jack has Y&R fans riled up. While many are upset with another kidnapping plot, some think there’s a twist.
On Reddit, one theory is that Patty (Stacy Haiduk) could be involved with Victor’s plot. “Victor would find Patty and have her do it,” wrote one fan.
“This sounds about right! Another story of things Victor does to torture people and not face consequences,” one viewer replied.
Patty is set to make her return soon, and chances are her storyline might revolve around Jack. If Patty is somehow in cahoots with Victor, this wouldn’t be the first time the villains worked together.
Patty and Victor’s History
Patty has often been used as a pawn in Victor’s ongoing war with Jack. In 2009, with Victor’s help, Patty returned to Genoa City under the new identity of Dr. Emily Peterson. As part of Victor’s plan, Patty was to get close to Jack and learn Jabot secrets so Victor could take over the company.
However, things took a dangerous turn when Patty became obsessed with Jack again. After Patty caused Summer (Allison Lanier) to have a severe allergic reaction, she goes on the run, taking Colleen (Tammin Sursok) as hostage.
Victor and Jack later tracked Patty and Colleen to the woods. But during the melee, Colleen drowns in the lake and Victor is shot by Patty. Afterward, Patty was arrested and sent to a mental facility.
Patty’s last known whereabouts is that she was still in Fairview. However, Victor could’ve pulled some strings and had her released to help with his kidnapping plot. Knowing Patty, she’d do anything to be close to Jack, including kidnapping him.
While Victor might gain an ally in Patty, he better be careful. Given Patty’s history, if Victor gets on her bad side, he might find himself in danger.
