SMART GIRL, DANGEROUS GAME! Y&R’s Victoria Newman Has a Secret Apartment, a Cartoon Code Name, and a Man Named Boris

VICTORIA NEWMAN SWEARS THEY’RE NOT DATING, AND NOBODY BELIEVES HER

TL;DR: Young and the Restless fans thought Victoria Newman was the smart one, but she’s sneaking around with Kyle Abbott, her daughter’s ex, and it’s turning into a lot more than sex. He’s handed her keys to a secret apartment and comforted her through a nightmare, and the Y&R spoilers say Matt Clark is about to get a rude awakening. Has Victoria forgotten that Kyle is an entitled punk?

This Stopped Being About Sex a While Ago

Victoria Newman keeps telling Kyle Abbott that they aren’t dating. Kyle keeps proving her wrong.

He rented them a private apartment with indoor parking and handed her the keys and the code. Men don’t hand over a parking code for a fling. They do it when they’re planning on a future.

The two of them even saved each other in their phones as Natasha and Boris. That’s not a hookup, that’s a couple with a cute inside joke. Kyle also admitted the sneaking around turns him on, which tells you exactly how old he acts.

Then came the moment that gave it all away. Kyle woke Victoria from a nightmare and comforted her, telling her that her love and faith were exactly what her brother needed. Victoria tried to bolt, then stayed, opened up, and cried in front of him.

Victoria Forgot Who Kyle Is

Victoria has spent years outsmarting the men in her family and running circles around boardrooms full of sharks. Somehow she looked at Kyle and missed every red flag. She has known him for years and watched him date her own daughter.

She knows his track record better than almost anyone, and she chose him anyway. This is the guy who treats sneaking around like a sport and still acts like the world owes him a corner office.

He’s also a father who has a habit of forgetting Harrison Abbott exists until it suits him, and fans have noticed. Is that really the man Victoria Newman wants holding the keys to her secret life? Smart women make dumb choices on soaps all the time, but this one comes with a daughter attached.

Claire Is Going to Lose It

Claire Newman has no idea her mother is sleeping with her ex. Claire sat at Society rambling about her memories with Kyle and Harrison while Victoria and Kyle squirmed in their seats. Claire even encouraged her mother to go find some happiness of her own.

She has no clue that the happiness has a name, and it’s the man she used to love. When Claire finds out, this won’t be a family argument. It’ll be a full Newman meltdown.

Can a mother and daughter ever come back from sharing the same man? Victoria Newman would never forgive a man who did this to her daughter, so why is she the one doing it?

Matt Clark Already Saw Too Much

Matt Clark spotted Kyle outside that motel, and Victoria and Kyle barely avoided getting caught. Instead of ending things, they went looking for a better hiding spot.

That’s how you know the feelings are real. Scared people quit. People in love relocate.

Matt may be out of town for now, but this week’s spoilers promise him a rude awakening, and a man like Matt knows exactly what to do with a secret. If he connects the dots, Victoria won’t only lose her privacy. She’ll lose her daughter’s trust and her reputation as the Newman who keeps her head.

The Feelings Are the Real Scandal

An affair Victoria could hide. Feelings are a different story, and they’re written all over her face every time Kyle walks into a room. Victoria Newman has run companies and survived her father, and now she’s losing a staring contest with an entitled punk named Boris. Somebody take that woman’s keys.
