Lately the ups and downs of the Newman family story has keep fans hooked on The Young and the Restless. The recent storyline involving Claire and Aunt Jordan has injected a new dose of suspense into the lives of the beloved characters. As the Newmans deal with the aftermath of their tough times, Jordan’s new plan to trouble Nikki comes to light. Yes, you head that right, Jordan isn’t gone anywhere, she is here and planning to create more chaos in the Newmans lives. This could lead to a really interesting storyline that keeps fans excited. But what’s her new plan? Let’s delve in and find out!
Nikki’s Battle With Addiction
Even though the Newmans are free from their captors, the story is far from over. On the December 5, 2023, episode of The Young And The Restless, Victoria and Cole head to an Oregon jail to question Claire about the chance of her being their believed-to-be-dead daughter, Eve. After hearing to Claire’s heartbreaking story of her upbringing under Aunt Jordan’s influence, Victoria and Cole’s decided to help with her legal problems if she takes a DNA test. As viewers, we have to wait to find out if Claire is really Victoria’s daughter. But it seems like there’s a good chance of that happening.
Now, let’s talk about Nikki. She’s arguably the one who’s been affected the most throughout this whole situation. Claire didn’t just target Nikki by deceiving her with a sweet innocent act for months, but Claire and her aunt also got Nikki to drink a lot of vodka, completely messing up Nikki’s efforts to stay sober. Even though Nikki claims she’s fine and getting better after being pushed back into her struggle with addiction, it’s obvious that she’s not doing well.
While she’s at the Newman Ranch with Victor in the kitchen, Nikki, who is clearly struggling, secretly takes a shot of alcohol. Her choice to drink might mean she’s going in a bad direction, and this could create an opportunity for someone unexpected to come in and support Nikki.
The Young And The Restless: Nikki’s Mysterious Call Sparks Aunt Jordan Conspiracy!
Before we dive into Nikki’s relapse, let’s focus on the idea of her going downhill. Before she takes that secret drink, she gets a call from an unknown number. When she picks up, all she hears is music playing. The music sounds like a basic tune you might hear in a strip club from a 70s or 80s movie. Even though no one speaks during the call, this odd incident seems to leave Nikki feeling shaken and confused. Could Aunt Jordan be the mysterious caller? That’s our guess.
It’s important to remember that Aunt Jordan manage to escape in Oregon. Also, she really wants payback on Nikki and Victor for her sister Eve Howard’s death. So its easy to imagine Aunt Jordan planning to taunt Nikki from the background, trying to mess with Nikki’s head. Also, Aunt Jordan has been planning to get back at the Newmans for a long time and knows a bunch about their past.
Before Nikki became a big name, she had a different life as a stripper at a place called The Bayou. And here’s something interesting on The Young And The Restless. Nikki first met Victor while working there. Aunt Jordan probably knows all this, and she might have reached out to Nikki, playing the music to bother her about her past. If our guess about Aunt Jordan is right, we can see her doing more than just making phone calls to bother Nikki.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Nikki starts getting mysterious packages with things that remind her of tough times. Maybe making her want to drink more. Right now, Nikki seems to be keeping the phone call a secret from her family. But if worse things start to happen, how long will she keep quiet? Sadly for Mrs. Newman, it seems like her year won’t be ending well in 2023. So keep watching to find out what happens next.
