Sally and Diane rarely have any scenes together on The Young and the Restless. But during the May 12th episode, the ladies finally had a chance to sit down and have a long chat. The two opened up about their relationships with the Abbott men, and Sally lent her support to Diane. Sally and Diane’s scenes have opened the door to a new friendship, something fans are excited for.
Key Takeaways
- Diane is married to Jack, and Sally is engaged to Jack’s brother Billy.
- Diane showed her support for Sally and Billy’s engagement.
- Sally offered advice to Diane on dealing with her marital issues.
Genoa City’s New Gal Pals
While Sally (Courtney Hope) and Diane (Susan Walters) often mingle at Abbott family functions, the two hardly get a chance to talk. But during a recent meeting at Society, they finally had a chance to catch up.
Diane congratulated Sally on her engagement to Billy (Jason Thompson) and showed support for her future sister-in-law. Before long, the talk turned to Diane and Jack’s (Peter Bergman) marital problems.
Diane has been feeling a mixture of emotions since walking in on Jack with Patty (Stacy Haiduk). Sally listened sympathetically as Diane vented about the situation, then she offered her own perspective. Sally wondered if Diane’s guilt for her past misdeeds was the reason for her anger towards Jack.
Although Diane dismissed the theory, Sally’s words did get Mrs. Abbott to think. While Diane and Jack’s relationship is still up in the air, Diane might have gained a new friend in Sally.
The idea of Sally and Diane becoming pals is gaining support from fans on Reddit. “I’m enjoying the chat between Sally and Diane. It seems genuine,” wrote one viewer.
“Seeing Sally and Diane engulfed in a convo is a refreshing storyline,” one commenter replied. “I’m here for that friendship,” declared one fan.
Why Their Friendship Works
Sally has few friends, aside from Audra (Zuleyka Silver), so she could use more pals. Who better than Diane? The two are involved with Abbott men and know their strengths and their flaws. There’s always going to be drama with the Abbotts, and Sally and Diane could offer each other support in dealing with their husbands’ chaos.
With Sally about to tie the knot and have a baby, she could use a mother figure to help her. Sally has fears about becoming a wife and mother, so having Diane help her overcome her doubts would be a poignant storyline for both women.
Helping Sally would not only bring Diane closer to her sister-in-law, but it could also be an awakening for Diane. Sally might have been right about Diane’s guilt clouding her anger towards Jack. Diane could finally be ready to forgive herself for her past and move forward, possibly reconciling with Jack.
