Victor Newman has always had a heavy hand in other people’s business, especially when it comes to family. However, lately on The Young and the Restless, fans are noticing just how far he’s pushing it. After surviving a gunshot wound from Ian Ward and getting back on his feet, Victor has turned his attention to sabotaging Kyle and Claire’s relationship.
He offered Audra a high-powered deal at Newman Enterprises in exchange for pulling Kyle away from Claire, believing his granddaughter deserves better. Now, viewers are reacting to his constant meddling.
One of the fans commented:
“Yes! He thinks his is the only opinion that matters. His manipulations are cruel.”
This comment from a viewer directly calls out Victor’s belief that only his viewpoint should count. The fan pointed to his recent actions as not just controlling but potentially emotionally harmful.

The Young and the Restless April 7-11, 2025 recap
This week on The Young and the Restless, several long-running storylines moved forward, while new tensions took shape. Nick agreed to travel to London with Sharon to visit Noah but backed out after Phyllis convinced them to stay.
Meanwhile, Chance discovered that the remote-control device used in the Havenhurst gas valve incident originated from the Paris clinic. It was the same place where Ashley had received treatment. Nick started suspecting that Chance believed Alan might have been involved in Sharon and Phyllis’ kidnapping.
Chance tracked the video feed from the farmhouse outside Genoa City, where the two women were held. Meanwhile, Alan had returned from Paris and was met with unease from Traci. She asked to slow down their wedding, and Alan became defensive.
Traci secretly contacted Jack, who, along with Ashley, listened in on the conversation. They pretended to support the wedding and echoed Alan’s old advice about waiting. Later, Ashley confirmed to Traci that she believed Martin had been impersonating Alan.
Traci confronted Martin, who insisted he loved her. When Chance brought him in for questioning, Sharon and Phyllis provoked him by pretending to argue. Martin eventually snapped and confessed that he had taken Alan’s place.
He dismissed Alan’s credentials and claimed credit for helping Ashley through her breakdown. Traci removed her engagement ring and blamed herself for putting everyone in danger.
Elsewhere, Victor met with Audra and offered her a position in exchange for breaking up Claire and Kyle. Audra negotiated hard, agreeing only on the condition that she could run her own company and have a secured deal in writing.
Victor had accepted her terms. Audra told Sally about the deal, who questioned her decision. Sally warned her about working with Victor again, recalling how he discarded her during the Glissade fallout. Audra responded that she wouldn’t tell Nate everything, especially not the Kyle part. She planned to present it as just another job.
Meanwhile, Kyle asked Claire to move in with him. Claire said it felt too soon and was worried about how Victor would react. Kyle insisted it shouldn’t matter. However, Claire didn’t want to upset her grandfather and said she’d think about it.
At the Newman Ranch, Victoria confronted Victor about meddling in Claire’s love life. She warned him that his actions could cost him both Claire and her. Victor refused to back down. Audra then arrived and sealed the deal with Victor to start her own company under Newman’s banner.
