The Young and the Restless
Y&R Spoilers: Victor’s Chancellor Takeover Ousts Billy, Crowns Nikki CEO
Young and the Restless bombshell: Victor acquires Chancellor Industries, positioning Nikki as CEO while Billy’s future hangs in the balance. Abby returns to chaos!

Victor Newman’s 2 for 1 on Y&R, Billy Boy Abbott Out??
Victor’s Plan for Jack and Billy
It’s no joke that The Mustache hates Smilin’ Jack Abbott on Young & the Restless & will do everything in his power to take him down along with his family company, but who comes in second? That person would be Billy Boy Abbott. Is Victor Newman acquiring Chancellor Industries to secure a CEO position for his wife Nikki Newman? Or, is this a game of dominoes using Glissade to take down Jack Abbott & now using Chancellor Industries to take down Billy Abbott?
Abby Newman Returns From Paris Knowing Even Less
Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is due back in Genoa City on Young & the Restless & is going to immediately wonder what the fresh hell is going on even though she was in the loop on Chancellor-Winters reversing their pointless merger & separating as they never joined, with the exception of Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). Will Abby’s father Victor Newman orchestrate a forced upon opportunity for Abby to become Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) COO? Her live-in boyfriend inside the Chancellor Estate who is not a Chancellor, Devon Winters (Bryton James) is about to propose to Abby. Get your popcorn, soap opera fans, things are about to get even more interesting on Y&R.
Billy Boy Abbott Out at Chancellor, What’s Next
The COO bounce continues in Genoa City on Young & the Restless. There is no way Victor will keep Billy Boy Abbott on at Chancellor Industries under the Newman Enterprises umbrella. Will this development land Billy Abbott back in the Jabot C-Suite working for his brother Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) & his wife Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) as COO of Jabot replacing Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor)?
Or, there is a chance that Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) may have negotiated with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) keeping Billy Abbott on at Chancellor in order to make the deal happen. However, there isn’t ever a deal with The Almighty Victor Newman that happens without strings attached. Like Victor Newman not long ago appointed his son Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) to be Nate Hastings’ (Sean Dominic) assistant at Newman Enterprises to put him in his place, Victor may very well deal Billy Boy a similar hand.
Even better, Victor could appoint Billy Boy as Adam Newman’s assistant at Newman Media. Adam is currently the solo CEO without a COO or an assistant at Newman Media. Billy & Adam have a tulmuterous history & with what happened between the sheets with their respective significant others about to be revealed, their book of angst is still being written. How better for Victor Newman to put Billy Boy in his place by demoting him professionally & personally in Genoa City on Y&R?
Regardless, Nikki Newman is Not Fit to Be the C-I CEO
Despite Nikki Newman holding executive roles within the Newman Enterprises & Newman Media C-Suites, her list of accomplishments is shorter than her number of positions held. Nikki’s time with Newman Media was spent supported by COO Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) for a period of time & was then followed up being supported by her assistant who helped reincarnate her alcoholism reboot in & out of the office.
Yes, Nikki Newman will eat up all day that her late best friend Katherine Chancellor (the late Jeanne Cooper) is smiling down in light of this promotion for Nikki, but is this true? Katherine Chancellor was a no-BS kind of woman & quite likely is rolling in her grave watching The Great Victor Newman play his latest game of chess with the people she was closest to in Genoa City on Y&R.
