Smart Women Trying to Outsmart Victor Newman

Now playing in Genoa City on The Young and the Restless… Smart, beautiful, ambitious women who think they can outsmart Victor Newman. Audra Charles is newer to Genoa City but did date Victor’s grandson Noah Newman in London and should have learned something. Lily Winters has spent nearly her entire life in Genoa City, and her father Neil Winters was one of Victor’s most trusted associates. Yet, the almighty Victor Newman is doing everything in his power to exploit both of these women on The Young and the Restless.

Victor Exploits Lily and Audra

If only Lily and Audra ran in the same circles in Genoa City… What Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is doing to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is the same, only different. While Victor hasn’t moved one of his newest pawns, Lily, over to his side quite yet, he’s had Audra moved for a while, and she already regrets it.

If Only Lily & Audra Ran in the Same Circles

If only Lily and Audra ran in the same circles in Genoa City on The Young and the Restless… Enter Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). Lily’s cousin Nate Hastings is now dating Audra Charles, who attempted to exploit Chancellor-Winters back when that ill-fated merger was still intact. This left a very bad taste in Lily’s mouth, along with Devon Hamilton’s (Bryton James). Devon doesn’t have any time for Audra and is naturally passing judgment on Nate for dating her, as that is what he does all over Genoa City.

And now Nate Hastings knows what Victor has going on with his newest lady friend and his cousin Lily.

Nate Hastings Has Audra & Lily’s Notes

After bragging about her mysterious master plan to take down Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) to Devon and Nate at Crimson Lights, Billy himself and his new COO Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) showed up to call Lily on her mysterious master plan, and they dominated. Phyllis and Billy are not the most reserved when they have something to say to anyone in Genoa City, and now Devon and Nate know that the master of Lily’s master plan is Victor Newman.

Finally, Devon Hamilton said something smart that The Young and the Restless fans agree with: Victor only does things for Victor. Nate Hastings agreed, as he has a front-row seat to what Victor is doing to Audra at Glissade. Also, Nate has seen this movie personally and knows that Victor Newman is only loyal to almost all of the Newmans most of the time.

Unlikely Alliances Taking Chances in Genoa City

Billy Abbott hiring Phyllis Summers as his COO at Abbott Chancellor is an impromptu calculated chance that has a possibility of working. Finally, a C-suite with a CEO and a COO without Co-CEOs and Co-COOs. Phyllis reminded Billy of which lane she stays in, and that is the fast lane. Coincidentally, that is the lane Billy wants Abbott Chancellor to travel in. Is there a chance that Billy and Phyllis can intercept Victor Newman acquiring Odyssey Seven to protect Abbott Chancellor?

Devon and Nate: Genoa City’s Newest Power Team?

Devon and Nate agree that Lily making deals with the devil, Victor Newman himself, is a bad move. These two seem to be getting along at Hamilton Winters. Devon already wants to revisit Nate Hastings joining the Hamilton Winters board. Despite Nate dating Audra Charles, whom Devon dislikes, are they both about to be Genoa City’s newest C-suite power team on The Young and the Restless?

It all depends on what Nate Hastings does with his notes…
