Patty Williams is ready to make her mark on The Young and the Restless. After being caught with Jack in bed on a superyacht, she’s making her next move. Stacy Haiduk teases that Patty’s return isn’t entirely about Jack. She wants to land another deal.
Key Takeaways
- Stacy Haiduk revealed why her alter ego really returned to Genoa City.
- Though she still has feelings for her ex-husband, Jack Abbott, her future plans don’t involve him.
- Haiduk teased that Patty wants to work her way up the corporate ladder in GC and doesn’t care who she’ll stomp on to get what she wants.
What’s Next For Patty Williams?
Last month, Haiduk reprised her role as Patty Williams on Y&R. Jack (Peter Bergman) was abducted and ended up on a superyacht with his wildly sexy and crazy ex-wife. Victor (Eric Braeden) was the mastermind behind the plan.
Diane (Susan Walters) found them in bed together after a desperate search for her husband. Even though she walked out of Jack’s life, Patty’s reign of terror in Genoa City isn’t over yet.
In a new interview with Soaps.com, Haiduk teased Patty’s next move, which doesn’t involve Jack. “She’s trying to work her way into society,” Haiduk simply said. In her mind, Patty wants to be “looked at as truly a fabulous woman.”
Haiduk previously teased Patty’s redemption arc. She believes that her character deserves a second chance. Haiduk is holding out hope for Patty. “She wants to be able to walk through this town where she grew up and have everybody see her in a different way,” she explained.
“We’ll see what actually happens. I mean, do people forgive?” she asked. But it’ll be hard for Patty to redeem herself. Neither the Abbotts nor the Newmans want anything to do with her due to her long history of crimes.
How Patty Plans to Reclaim Genoa City
Arguably, the Newmans have done their fair share of crimes. They’re eventually forgiven, and they’re still allowed to be part of society. They haven’t lost their “legacy family” status despite what they’ve done.
The same could be said for Patty. But there’s one person who’s unwilling to forgive her, and that’s Diane. “Susan [Walters] and I were talking about the history between the two of them with Jack,” Haiduk mentioned.
The ladies are headed for an intense rivalry down the line. Haiduk called the scenes “fun” and “far-out.” But how will Patty reclaim her place in Genoa City? Will she snag another deal with Victor? One that could put her at the top of the corporate ladder?
As Y&R viewers already know, Victor has been doing his share of dirty dealings lately. He continues to dangle Chancellor in front of Lily (Christel Khalil) and doesn’t seem close to handing the company over to her.
Victor could get his hands on Jabot and give Patty everything she wants and more. “She’s always happy to capitalize on anything that has to do with Jack,” Haiduk said.
