The Young and the Restless fans are accustomed to seeing Victor always win. However, the Newman Enterprises CEO is now facing a big downfall, and he’s not getting much sympathy from anyone.
Key Takeaways
- Victor is Genoa City’s top businessman, who always wins in any battle.
- Victor has met his match in Phyllis and Cane.
- Cane used the AI software to attack Newman Enterprises and take over the company.
The Newman Downfall
Out of all of Genoa City’s business executives, Victor (Eric Braeden) reigns supreme. Many people, including Jack (Peter Bergman) and Lily (Christel Khalil), have went up against The Moustache, but come out on the losing end.
Throughout the years, Victor’s scored one win after another in his numerous business wars. However, this time around, he’s facing a big loss.
Victor’s quest for power had him stealing Cane’s (Billy Flynn) AI software, courtesy of Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). He initially intended to use the program to take control of Jabot, but his plans fell through. Unfortunately, Victor’s acquisition of the AI software would come back to bite him.
As it turns out, Cane had a secret bug in the software that attacked whoever was in charge of it. Since Victor initiated the software on Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), it left him vulnerable to an attack. Now, Phyllis and Cane are plotting their takeover of Newman Enterprises, while Victor is in danger of losing everything.
Victor possibly losing his company to Phyllis and Cane is all the buzz on Reddit. Many fans are celebrating the downfall of the great Victor Newman.
“NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, deserves it more than Victor! Victor has done so many evil things. He’s a narcissist and only cares about ruining other people’s lives,” wrote one viewer.
However, one fan actually feels sorry for The Moustache. “Yes, Victor went too far with the AI, but Cane and Phyllis are in the wrong for using the AI against Newman Enterprises. I respect that Victor built his company from nothing and that is to be admired. To have him lose his company not by mismanagement, but by a flimsy AI is wrong.”
Is Victor Down For The Count?
Things aren’t looking good for Victor, but as Y&R fans know, one can’t count the Newman patriarch out. Victor always has a trick up his sleeve, and odds are he’s not letting Phyllis and Cane get away with this so easily.
Perhaps The Moustache is biding his time, waiting for Phyllis and Cane to turn against each other. Or maybe he’ll be making a secret deal with one of them in exchange for the return of Newman Enterprises.
Whatever’s in store, chances are Victor will be back on top and back at Newman Enterprises in no time. Phyllis and Cane better enjoy their reign while it lasts.
