Young and the Restless has Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) determined to reunite with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And she might have a ruthless new plan in motion to make it happen that involves kidnapping Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) and holding her hostage until she gets what she wants.
We’re going to talk about whether Patty might have kidnapped Diane so she can use her as a bargaining chip to get Jack to marry her.
Kyle Tells Jack That Diane Is Missing
All right, so this week we’ve got Kyle Abbott telling Jack that he’s worried about Diane. That comes later this week. Something is off according to Kyle because his mom Diane skipped two days of work at Jabot without checking in. And then Kyle went over to see Diane at the GCAC and he went in her room and he saw that her bed hasn’t been slept in either.
So Kyle tells Jack none of this is normal for Diane and he definitely thinks that something is wrong. And last week, Patty sent Jack a big bouquet of flowers with a note saying that Patty’s going to take a step back and give Jack some space. But then Patty’s note also said that she hopes Jack has reason to reach out to her soon. Well, Diane might be that reason.
Patty might think if she gets Diane out of the way, then Jack may assume Diane gave up on their marriage and left town. But we know Diane wouldn’t leave without at least telling Kyle. However, Patty might try and convince Jack that Diane abandoned them just like she did when she faked her death. In Patty’s warped mind, she really thinks if Diane is gone, then poof, Jack would get back with her. She’s delusional, obviously.
Young and the Restless: Jack Says Patty Hasn’t Changed
This week, Patty runs into Jack and asks if he got the flowers. Jack snaps that yes, and he threw them in the trash. And then he just walks away from her. Patty goes running after him to ask if Jack still wants to work with her to take down Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). And he says that Patty didn’t seem interested. And then Jack slams Patty for helping Victor ruin his marriage.
Jack says Patty hasn’t changed. She starts saying she can prove it. And then she brings up that Jack forgave Diane for lying and faking her death. But Jack says Diane was redeemable where Patty’s not. Jack says he still loves Diane. And of course, he doesn’t love her. Of course, this doesn’t faze Patty, who says she loves a challenge and says Jack’s going to be surprised at how things work out. That’s another red flag.
Patty Tells Victor She’ll Be The Next Mrs. Jack Abbott
So, it sure sounds like Patty’s cooking up a big batch of crazy because she is determined to get Jack back. And next, Patty headed over to see Victor Newman and tells him she’s staying in Genoa City. She’s going to be a prominent citizen and she wants Newman’s support. And then Patty doubles down on the nuttiness and tells Victor she’s going to be the next Mrs. Jack Abbott.
And that has Victor laughing right in Patty’s face. He calls her delusional. But she reminds Victor that she already married Jack twice. Now, if you recall, first time he married Patty, he didn’t love her. He was still sleeping with Diane on the side, and he was trying to prove to his dad, John Abbott, that he wasn’t just a playboy. Yet, Jack was late to their wedding because he was in bed with Diane. And the second time Jack married her, he didn’t even know it was Patty.
There was plastic surgery, trickery, and she had a new face and a new name and lured Jack in. So clearly, Patty is never going to give up on Jack. And in her bag of cats brain, Patty is already seeing herself in a wedding gown with Jack as her groom. So, I’m thinking that Patty snatched his wife when Diane was on her way to the mansion to try and work things out with Jack as she had left on a message.
Patty Is Dangerous And Capable Of Kidnapping
And Patty might be keeping Diane somewhere out of the way. My first thought is the Abbott Cabin because Patty was held there once while she was kidnapped. And by the end of this week, Kyle and Jack begin to realize something’s up and that Diane might legit be in trouble.
I’m sure Jack’s going to make some calls to see if anybody’s seen Diane. And then Jack might really think about that note with the flowers and realize, oh, maybe this is what Patty was referring to, the reason that Jack would contact her. The reason being Diane is missing. And yes, Patty is totally capable of kidnapping Diane. Just a little Young and the Restless history.
Young and the Restless: Patty’s Past
Back in 2009, Patty herself was kidnapped, stashed at the Abbott cabin, and Jack’s niece, Colleen, who’s Traci’s daughter, was looking for Jack, but she found Patty instead, and then she freed her. Instead of thanking her, Patty took Colleen hostage, dragged her to a remote camp, and Patty tied her to a tree. So, Colleen was in a panic, she got loose, she stole a canoe, and she paddled out onto the lake trying to get away before Patty found her.
Then Colleen fell out of the canoe. She nearly drowned. She suffered total brain damage. And it was her uncle Jack who found her like that and rushed her to the hospital. At the same time, Patty was running around unhinged and she shot Victor. And then he needed a heart transplant. And Traci relented and let Colleen’s heart save his life because her daughter would never recover.
Young and the Restless: Victor Goes Off the Rails
This is the level of dangerous crazy that Victor invited back into everybody’s lives when he brought Patty to town, and Victor re-energized her fixation on Jack by setting it up so Patty could sexually assault Jack. So, I suspect that if Patty reveals she has Diane, then Jack’s going to take it very seriously because she’s dangerous. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Patty said the price of Diane’s freedom and safety is for Jack to marry her. And of course, he would be appalled.
But yeah, I think Jack would do it, whatever he had to do to keep Diane safe. And I think Patty knows that. And I don’t think she cares how she gets Jack as long as she gets Jack. I’m sure Patty’s got a whole twisted happily ever after scenario in her head for her and Jack. In Patty’s crazy brain, Diane is the only obstacle in their way. Because Patty will never accept that Jack simply doesn’t want her, doesn’t love her, and will never ever want to be with her. That sexual assault on the yacht only has Patty even more convinced that Jack wants her and there’s still something there. And threatening Diane’s life would probably be the quickest way to get what she wants.
Now, I will say maybe Patty didn’t snatch her. Maybe Y&R is doing something really boring as crap, which would be typical. Maybe Diane took an unplanned trip to San Francisco and she didn’t tell Kyle, or Diane decided to take a no phone spa weekend and didn’t let Kyle know or she left a message and it never got delivered.
Young and the Restless: Victor’s True Colors?
But I kind of doubt it because the last time we saw Diane, she left Jack a voicemail saying that she’s still hurt but she loves Jack and she wants to find a way forward. Now, maybe that message got deleted somehow by Patty and then Diane had said in the same message that she was coming to the Abbott mansion to talk things over. That’s the last we saw or heard of her.
So, Patty might have grabbed her, managed to delete the message, and she’s stashed Diane at the Abbott cabin or in a dingy warehouse or even has her tied up in her bathroom in her suite at the GCAC. I am expecting the reveal of something crazy with Jack, Diane, and Patty very soon.
Now, one thing I hope is if she has kidnapped Diane and does something violent to her, that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will realize the depths of depravity that Victor has unleashed and that she will truly understand once and for all that the man will never change. He is not redeemable and he does not deserve Nikki.
