Fans of The Young and the Restless are feeling confused about the ongoing developments in Ian Ward's storyline. The series of suspicious events surrounding Ian's activities, his partnership with Jordan Howard, and Victor Newman’s "security team" have ignited a firestorm of criticism online.

Many viewers are pointing out contradictions and plot holes that raise questions about the logic behind the current plotline. Whether it's Victor's supposedly formidable security team failing to monitor Ian's activities or the characters making odd choices, fans are vocal about their disappointment. A common criticism is the sheer lack of “common sense” in how the recent events are unfolding.

The discussion on The Young and The Restless Facebook page started when a fan posted on Young and Restless Canadian Day Ahead Recaps - Soaps Spoilers, saying that it makes no sense for them to watch Jordan going in and out of Ian's room and not reporting it back to Victor.

The disbelief continued with comments highlighting specific oversights in the storyline. A user wrote:

"And how did he even know the hotel room? I mean, other than it's the same one that Phyllis was hiding out in, and the same one Jordan kidnapped Harrison in etc etc."

The portrayal of Victor’s security team, often hailed as near-infallible, has also drawn ridicule. A Facebook user made a humorous comment suggesting that Victor's Crack security team is more like a team on crack.

Similarly, another fan added context to Victor's team's ineffectiveness.

Fans were quick to suggest how the storyline could be more realistic. They noted the lack of technological advancements in the plot and questioned Claire for not following Jordan and Abby for not checking her cameras.

Overall, The Young and The Restless fans are doubting the reasoning and realism of the recent storyline. It remains to be seen if writers can fix these issues or whether the fan's disappointment continues.
