Spoilers promise some big drama ahead on The Young and the Restless as troublemaker Diane
Jenkins has arrived in Genoa City.
She has got herself a room in The Grand Phoenix but nobody knows yet that she is the town
or that she is even alive.
Jack is to deliver the shocking information to the Abbott clan soon which will for sure
put this family through some tough times.
However, there are a few characters who’ll likely be affected the most by Diane’s return from the dead.
Who are they?
Let’s find out.
Diane’s shenanigans affected several lives when she was in Genoa City in the past.
Now that she has returned, we can expect history to repeat itself with the following characters
being affected the most in the process.
Jack Abbott Jack had never imagined that he would come
face to face with Diane when he went to LA to meet the buyer of Keemo’s home.
He was totally appalled.
But in the meantime, Diane lets him know that she had been waiting for a moment like this for a long time.
Jack can’t believe Diane faked her own death.
She left so much destruction, anger, and upset behind but she says she is a changed person now.
She claims that she is sorry for all the pain she has caused and that to redeem herself,
she wanted to reunite Jack with Allie.
Jack’s meeting with Diane took him down a very painful memory lane which reminded
him of all the damages she had done to him and his family.
But no matter how much he tries, Diane is going to be there wherever he goes putting
him through a lot of distress.
Kyle Abbott Diane was a terribly selfish person who went
to any lengths to get what she wanted.
Everything aside, she turned out to be the worst mom too as she left her own son to mourn her fake death.
Kyle was still a kid when he faced the horrible loss of his mother.
He was too young to understand what kind of a woman his mom was back then.
So when Diane’s memorial was held, everyone tried to find some kind words to say about
her for the sake of Kyle.
Diane stole a part of Kyle’s childhood that he could never get back.
But now she wants to reconnect with him, the idea of which drove Jack crazy last week.
She claims that she protected Kyle by not taking him with her and insists she could
be a healthy presence in his life now.
She also tells that she knows Kyle is married with a son.
Jack immediately shuts her down saying he would never let her manipulate Kyle.
No matter how much Jack tries to keep his son away from his toxic mom, Kyle learning
about Diane is inevitable.
And when that happens, it’s sure to turn his world upside down.
Allie Nguyen It’s not a secret that Diane has damaged
many lives in the past.
Allie, who just became a part of Jack’s life, is already facing a great deal of stress because of her.
Diane came into Allie’s life all sweet like a guardian angel with sage advice for the
young lady who just lost her dad.
However, Jack informs his granddaughter that she is nothing but vengeful.
He reveals that she had died, been buried, and mourned and claims that she just should not be there.
To Allie, Diane aka Taylor was just someone who was buying her dad’s home.
However, to Diane, Allie was a pawn that she used to get back into Jack’s life.
It infuriated Allie that Diane deceived her and used her and Keemo in her games.
She also felt stupid for trusting a stranger.
Nikki Newman Back in 2011, Nikki got into huge trouble
for supposedly killing Diane.
Diane had animosity with a lot of GC residents.
So when her dead body was found, a long investigation was carried out.
Finally, Nikki confessed that she had killed Diane in self-defense.
She would’ve landed in jail if it wasn’t for her ex-husband Deacon Sharpe who admitted
to hitting Diane additional times and then dumping her body.
Although Deacon gave the final blow that took Diane’s life, Nikki somehow considered herself
responsible for Diane’s death.
So when she learns that she is very much alive and in GC, she will certainly be taken aback.
On top of that, the fact that Deacon himself was involved in creating the illusion of her
death will certainly take a toll on Nikki.
On the bright side, Nikki will have one less murder on her hands.
Phyllis Summers Since breaking up with Nick, Phyllis has considerably come close to Jack.
They are yet to make it work on a romantic level but it’s visible that they have still
got a spark between them.
In a recent episode, we even watched Phyllis confess to Lauren how much Jack meant to her
and how she would never hurt him again.
Lauren could see that Phyllis is in love with Jack.
But a major danger is looming over this love story as Diane has returned to GC.
You may remember that Jack cheated on Phyllis with Diane multiple times in the past when they were married.
So far Jack is adamant about not forgiving Diane for her misdeeds.
But what if he changes his mind?
Phyllis’s heart will once again get ripped because of Diane.
That’s all for now guys.
What do you think Diane's next move will be?
Has she really changed?
