We all know that currently the Newman family is dealing with a new set of challenges on The Young and the Restless. After what Claire did with Nikki is having a tough time. She’s trying hard to stay away from drinking, but it’s not easy. Her usual helpers are also dealing with their own big problems. Now fans wonder who might unexpectedly step in to help Nikki in her journey towards recovery.
Could it be someone like Sharon, who is an incredible therapist? Or maybe Cole, who knows Nikki from a long time ago and has a calming effect on her? And what about Claire herself? Could this surprise lead to Nikki and her granddaughter making up? Let’s delve into the possibilities and find out!
Nikki’s Life Hang In The Balance
Although the Newman family is back in Genoa City, their troubles caused by Claire and Aunt Jordan are far from over. Nikki has suffered so much that she is still struggling with her sobriety. The Newman matriarch hadn’t had a drink for many years. But when she was held hostage in Oregon, she was forcibly given vodka, and it made her want to take a sip from the bottle in her lonely room. In the latest episode of The Young And The Restless Nikki tells her family that the tough times are over. But for viewers, it’s clear she’s struggling to stay sober as she sneakily looks at the alcohol at the Newman Ranch.
Considering all this, it looks quite probable that Nikki’s struggle to stay sober is going to get tougher before improving. We’re not certain how tough things might get for her this time, but we have a feeling it could become very challenging, especially since her usual help isn’t as strong as it used to be. Of course Nikki can count on Victor, Victoria, and Nick for help. Victor in particular has helped Nikki many time in the past when she had problems.
Over the years, she also had friends like Jack, Katherine, and Neil to turn to. They knew what Nikki was going through because they had their own struggles with addiction. This helped Nikki in getting better. Unfortunately, both Katherine and Neil are no longer with us, and Jack could be too busy dealing with issues involving Tucker and disagreements among the Abbotts. This might mean Nikki won’t get the usual extra help she used to get from them. Is there a chance for someone else to step in and help? We think so, but who could that be?
The Young And The Restless: Who Will Be Her Unexpected Savior?
Well, we have few names who might become Nikki’s ray of hope. First name on the list is Sharon. After not liking each other for a long time, Sharon and Nikki have surprisingly started to respect and care for each other recently. Even though Sharon hasn’t dealt with addiction herself, her job as a therapist gives her the right skills to make a safe place for Nikki. They can talk about Nikki’s tough time being held hostage and made to break her promise not to drink. This friendship might be a big help for Nikki as she works hard to get better.
Next up we have Cole. Back in the days before Victoria and Cole got married, Cole and Nikki were a couple. He’s been friends with the head of Newman Media for a long time and knows about her history. Cole is good at calming down the women in the Newman family, even though he doesn’t have any known issues with using substances. His being around might be just what Nikki needs now. Considering what we just talked about, it could be a good turning point for Claire to help Nikki with her sobriety.
Claire has been lied to her whole life, and she showed signs of knowing right from wrong in Oregon when she gave Victor and the others an antidote to the poison. It’s easy to imagine that Claire might feel really sorry for what she did to Nikki and promises to help her in any way she can. Regardless of who unexpectedly supports Nikki, one person we’re almost sure will be there for her during recovery is Victor, also known as “The Mustache” himself.
