The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers document that Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) has reversed her fortunes. That surprised Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).
However, the other member of what Diane thinks of as an unholy alliance anticipated Diane escaping justice. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) has not had her home disrupted, like Ashley, or is merely annoyed, like Nikki.
Phyllis is wanted by the police for multiple crimes following the fake murder hoax she and Jeremy Stark (James Hyde) hatched. Meanwhile, Diane’s ankle is free from the Genoa City Police Department’s monitor.
Walters offered another bit of comedic dialogue when Diane referred to the trio of Phyllis, Ashley, and Nikki as the cover. Diane verbally jabbed at Ashley and Nikki in response to their accusations about her being in public.
Diane had every right to leave the Abbott mansion after Chance Chancellor’s (Conner Floyd) efforts confirmed Phyllis was not dead. That revelation moves the storyline to a needed next chapter.
Hardcore fans recall that Phyllis, Ashley, and Nikki conspired to run Diane out of town many months ago. But their work arguably strengthened her position.
Phyllis’ situation was described as a mess. But it is far more than that.
Along with framing Diane for her murder, which never happened, Phyllis killed Jeremy. DNA evidence proved Phyllis was alive. Will that scientific track be taken to link her to Jeremy’s death?
Summer Newman Abbott (Allison Lanier) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) made themselves accessories to their mother’s crimes after the fact. Phyllis realizes the gravity of having done that to her children but is so desperate that she has to rely on them while attempting to create a solution.
A search of Jeremy’s digital footprint might provide some relief. But locating the emergency medical technician he paid to help create the faked ambulance crash feels like the most promising lead.
Backhanded compliments must be offered to Diane. She has gotten away with framing Nikki for murdering her many years ago, faking death, and bamboozling Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
Bergman’s character appears more committed to Diane than ever. He has become Diane’s full champion. But her detractors have fueled that defensive effort.
Diane is riding high as spring is yawning. But the audience wonders if she will thrive or melt this summer on Y&R.
