What are the current feuds that Victor Newman is facing on The Young and the Restless? Plot dynamics explored

Victor Newman is known for nursing many rivalries on The Young and the Restless, with his constant plotting to remain at the top of everything in Genoa City business. He is currently sparring with Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins, attempting to gain some control over their businesses, Jabot and Glissade.

Being blindsided by Jack and Diane's fake split-up seems to have left Victor undeterred, with speculation that he might be aiming to hit back at them soon.

Victor’s vendetta against the Abbott family extends beyond Jack and is also directed at Jack's brother, Billy Abbott. Victor has finally managed to use Billy's mother, Jill, against him and transfer ownership of the company Chancellor under the wing of Newman Enterprises. Victor has also established his wife Nikki as CEO, further making Billy angry and hurting his pride.

Lily Winters might end up becoming another threat to Victor, adding to his list of rivals. She initially felt betrayed by Billy at Chancellor and went to Victor to help take him down.

Previously, Victor promised to give her recognition at her old company when he was down with Billy, even luring her in with the offer of the CEO position. However, Lily was betrayed twice after Victor gave the CEO post to his wife, making Lily upset as well.

In a recent episode, Victor warns his granddaughter Claire to stay away from Jack and Diane's son, Kyle. Claire and Kyle have been in a romantic relationship for quite a while after she developed an attachment to Kyle's son, Harrison. The couple has also shared many intimate moments in the storyline in the past few weeks.

However, Victor's feud with Jack and Diane (and Kyle by extension) has put Claire's relationship in the crossfire.
