The Young and the Restless: Victor Newman's current plot dynamics, explored
The current plot of The Young and the Restless is very volatile, with criminals Ian Ward and Jordan Howard on the loose. The New Year celebrations ended with Nick Newman meeting Ian, while Sharon Newman went missing. Nick then promptly reported both events to Victor.
Victor Newman was astute enough to realize that Ian Ward's arrival in town spelled bad news. He had Ian brought to him and warned the criminal on parole to stay out of mischief. Furthermore, he ordered his security personnel, Mortenson, to follow Ian, and promised to react if Ian made any mistake.
While Nick Newman visited Ian's motel room later to confront the crook, Victor asked Michael to accumulate all information available on Ian. Knowing the proactive businessman, Victor would want to be prepared with all possible attack options before Ian makes his moves.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Victor has been busy drawing his family together. He asked Cole Howard to join the publishing department of Newman Enterprises. He also mentioned being happy to have Cole in the family.
Furthermore, Victor reached out to Chelsea and invited her to get back with Adam and Connor as part of the Newman family. While Chelsea so far has rejected the option, Adam Newman was seen trying to convince her to move in with him at the ranch.
