Victoria is definitely her father’s daughter on The Young and the Restless. The Newman princess is proving she’s just like Victor in the latest business battle involving Newman Enterprises. While fans usually enjoy Victoria’s ruthless side, this time they think she’s going too far.
Key Takeaways
- Victoria is helping Victor try to regain control of Newman Enterprises.
- Victoria’s ex-husband Billy has now become Phyllis’ partner in the Newman takeover.
- To stop Billy, Victoria is threatening to take their kids away from him.
Victoria’s Ultimatum
Ever since losing Newman Enterprises to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Cane (Billy Flynn), Victor (Eric Braeden) has rallied the family around him. The Moustache thought he had a surefire way to regain control, but unfortunately, Phyllis outsmarted him.
With Phyllis and Cane’s partnership over, she’s now teamed with Billy (Jason Thompson) in her takeover. As part of their deal, Phyllis gave Billy control of Chancellor. While Billy finally got what he wanted, he may lose something more important: his kids.
Victoria (Amelia Heinle) is furious that her ex-husband is part of the takeover. But she’s not going to let Billy get away with this and is hitting him where it hurts. Victoria has threatened to take away Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie (Sienna Mercuri) and tell them about Billy stealing Chancellor.
Victoria’s latest tactic to save Newman has left a bad impression with viewers. On a soap opera message board, fans called out the Newman princess for using her kids as a bargaining chip.
“Jack used to call Victoria, Victor in a skirt and he’s right. She’d use her own kids to help Victor get NE back just like Nick tried to with Summer. Despicable, all of them,” wrote one viewer.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Victoria stoop so low. No reason to bring the children in this issue, let the adults battle this out. Lost lots of respect for her,” one fan replied.
Billy’s Choice
Despite Victoria’s ultimatum, it appears Billy has already made his decision: he’s keeping Chancellor. As for whether Victoria keeps her promise remains to be seen. Victoria telling Johnny and Katie would make for interesting soap drama.
Odds are, Johnny and Katie would be upset with their dad and not want to see him. This would make Billy question his decision about Chancellor and if losing is family is worth it.
However, as some fans pointed out, Billy has leverage against The Newmans. Billy Boy could tell his kids about how their grandpa tried to steal Uncle Jack’s (Peter Bergman) company Jabot. That would surely make Victor and Victoria look bad in Johnny and Katie’s eyes.
Victoria has shown she’s not afraid to fight dirty in the battle with Phyllis and Billy. Maybe it’s time Billy takes a page out of his ex-wife’s playbook.
