Diane isn’t showing any compassion to her estranged husband Jack on The Young and the Restless. Traci steps in to try to help the separated couple, but her talk with Diane doesn’t go as expected. Instead of talking calmly, Traci brings up Diane’s past misdeeds, something Susan Walters approves of.
Key Takeaways
- Diane walked out on Jack after catching him in bed with Patty.
- Diane’s refused to hear Jack’s side of the story.
- Traci reminds Diane that she’s not exactly squeaky clean after bringing up her unsavory history.
Diane’s No Saint
Diane (Walters) and Jack’s (Peter Bergman) marriage has hit a snag thanks to Victor (Eric Braeden) and Patty (Stacy Haiduk). Victor kidnapped the Jabot CEO and held him captive on a boat with Patty.
Luckily, Diane and Kyle (Michael Mealor) were able to track down Jack’s location. But when Diane arrived, she was stunned to find Jack in bed with Patty. Jack tried to explain to Diane that he was drugged, but she didn’t buy his excuse.
With Diane unable to forgive her husband, the couple separated. However, the couple’s family and friends have stepped in to play peacemaker.
Traci (Beth Maitland) is the next person to try to talk sense into Diane. But when Mrs. Abbott continues to be stubborn, Traci loses her cool. Traci reminds Diane of how she hurt Jack and Kyle by faking her death, and asks her to give Jack some grace.
Traci dragging Diane not only has fans excited, but also Walters. On the actress’s Instagram story, she posted a preview of Traci and Diane’s talk. “Hmmm, Traci does have a point,” Walters captioned the post.
Will Traci Get Through To Diane?
While Walters agrees with Traci’s assessment, her character Diane might think otherwise. Diane is set in her ways, so when someone does wrong by her, she holds a grudge.
Even though Jack is a victim just as much as Diane, she feels she’s suffering the most. Seeing Jack with Patty was a huge betrayal no matter what the circumstances were.
Yet, as Traci points out, Diane’s done her share of betrayals. For years, she let Jack and Kyle believe she was dead. Although Jack and Kyle were angry, they eventually found it in their hearts to forgive her.
Diane was given a second chance when she came back to Genoa City. Maybe after reflecting on her past, she can find it her heart to give Jack another chance.
