Fans flocked to Facebook to post their speculations. A majority assumed there is a deal of sorts between Jack and Diane to say this split has something to do with Victor, so as to cheat him. They further stated that the couple is supposedly coming up with a revenge program under the secret, and viewers are hoping for a reaction from Victor once he understands that he has fallen for their trick.

Jack and Diane's ruse unfolds on The Young and the Restless

In the fictional Genoa City, the seemingly fractured marriage of Jack and Diane is of much interest, especially as there are rumors that the couple may be divorcing. Fans of The Young and the Restless are becoming convinced that their separation is masterly crafted to distract enemies. With Diane publically blaming Jack, the façade appears real, but the subtle signs of collusion start to emerge.

The more Nikki Newman sees into Jack's erratic behavior, the more worried she becomes. She becomes afraid that he may start backsliding into his old ways, and hence she feels the need to step in. However, her protective stance may work right into Jack's hands, in case he is manipulating Nikki's sympathy to strengthen his ruse with Diane.

As Nikki's doubts grow, she may unknowingly be made a pawn in their revenge scheme, with her trust paving the way for Jack's moves. Victor Newman is still on high alert, as Diane comes up to him with a bizarre request, to help her with dealing with Jack and Kyle.

Fans of The Young and the Restless speculate that this move by Diane is another one of their strategic moves on a trap, this time exploiting Victor's good-naturedness and competitive rivalry against Jack. With Nikki being around and Jack acting shady, Victor has to walk on eggshells in order to not get entangled in the web of deception spun by the Abbotts.
