The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Audra Charles Could Take Nate Hastings’ Job

Exciting new The Young and the Restless spoilers suggest that Audra Charles may try to take Nate Hastings’ job. Nate is the Chief Operating Officer at Newman Enterprises. But he has been doing some shady things lately.

Victoria Newman is starting to distrust Nate. Audra could use this to her advantage. She may see an opportunity to get Nate fired and take his position for herself.

Nate Has Been Manipulating Victoria

Nate pushed Victoria to merge Newman Media with Adam Newman’s company, Adustus. He told her it would be good for business. But he did not tell her the full story.

Nate left out that Adam was blackmailing him. Victor Newman found out and stopped the merger. Now Victoria is seeing red flags in Nate’s behavior.

Victoria wants to trust Nate. But his actions seem sketchy. She worries he may want her job. There’s no way she will let that happen.

Tucker Warns Nate About Audra

Tucker McCall warned Nate about Audra. He said she seems driven to succeed. But she is much more dangerous than she looks.

Tucker said Audra only cares about her own success. She will sell out Nate to get ahead. The worst part is she seems sincere.

“That woman is self-centered and vicious,” Tucker told Nate. “She will take control of whatever she needs to get what she wants. And you won’t see it coming.”

But Nate did not listen. He thinks Audra has his back. He does not believe she would betray him. Tucker urged Nate to see Audra as a threat.

Audra Could Take Nate’s Job

Audra met with Victor Newman. She impressed him, which is not easy to do. Victor sees potential in Audra. He thinks she could have a bright future at Newman Enterprises.

At the same time, Victor has little faith in Nate. He does not trust him. Victor believes Nate wants Victoria’s job.

During the week of August 21, Victoria will test Nate’s loyalty. If he fails, Victoria and Nikki Newman may fire Nate. They could name Audra the new Chief Operating Officer.

It seems inevitable Nate will ruin things with Victoria. She is starting to see his true colors. She is distancing herself from him already.
