Gotta Have Young and the Restless Friends: Who Should Diane Befriend?

Diane Jenkins is back on The Young and the Restless and, so far, her only friend (if you can even call her that) is Allie Nguyen — and Allie doesn’t even live in Genoa City!

Young and the Restless Polling

Diane needs someone her own age to plot with — and someone who can help her achieve her agenda, whatever that may yet turn out to be. We asked almost 2,000 viewers who they’d like to see her start scheming with. Here’s what they said:

The Man of the Moment

Who better than Ashland Locke (Robert Newman), a winning 42% of you voted. Ashland hates the hypocrites of Wisconsin as much as Diane (Susan Walters) does (at least in New York City and Los Angeles, nobody pretends to be a good person, they know they’re all out for themselves). Just think of the damage these two could do to the Newmans and the Abbotts if they put their heads together!

Young and the Restless: Redheads Unite!

Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) knows what it’s like to be the town pariah who leaves Los Angeles for a fresh start. And she knows what it’s like for people to accuse you of things you’ve done – and things you haven’t – just because you’re new… and they’re petty. These two women could really be there to support each other think 28% of Young and the Restless fans. And cause some serious damage!

Y&R: Mom’s the Word

Diane wants to reconnect with her son, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) is all about getting her precious baby boy everything Conner Newman’s (Judah Mackey) heart desires. They could bond over that, 24% suggest. Chelsea has all sorts of tips!

Son Set

Once upon a time, Diane wanted Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). But he’s way too old and decrepit for her now. How about the younger, spryer model, 6% wonder. How about Adam Newman (Mark Grossman)? Adam is always happy for a scheme.. and a chance to get something for himself.
