The Young and the Restless spoilers for Tuesday, December 26, 2023, give viewers an after-Christmas gift of Nikki coming face to face with Jordan…and raining hell.
Young and the Restless Spoilers Highlights
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) has been prepping for this day her entire life. She just didn’t know it. She got her first kill as a kid — sure, it was an accident, but Nikki proved she was no pushover. She fought off her rapist daddy. She stripped for a living and emerged not only with her self-confidence and dignity intact but with a rich husband, to boot. Living the dream!
Nikki has been stalked. Nikki has been kidnapped. Nikki has been blackmailed and bullied. She’s fought alcoholism and MS — and won. She’s listened to Victor (Eric Braeden) for decades and not only still understands him, but thinks he’s making sense and that he’s the smartest man in the room. Nothing can bring this woman down. Literally nothing.
In This Corner
The only thing we know about Jordan (Colleen Zenk) is that she’s Eve’s (Margaret Mason) sister, that the two were estranged, and that Jordan is nuts. Eve was nuts, too. And if those two didn’t get along, that means Jordan was, arguably, nuttier. Nuts people fight hard because they have nothing to lose.
And the Winner Is…
You’d think it would be Jordan. She has a reason for what she’s doing. Granted, it makes no sense to us, but it does to her, and that’s what matters. Also, she has something Nikki now wants, her newly discovered granddaughter, Claire (Hayley Erin). Whereas Nikki is still trying to figure out how she feels about the baby girl briefly known as Eve Nicole, Jordan knows how she feels: Claire is simply a means to an end for her. So it would seem like Jordan is holding all the cards.
Except, along with all the other things Nikki has survived above, she has also survived Victor. There is nothing more difficult than that in the world, much less Genoa City. Jordan is tough because she’s crazy. Nikki is tough because Victor gave her no choice in the matter. Our money is on Nikki.
