Jack Abbott versus Victor Newman, for years, has been a key showdown on The Young and the Restless. However, it seems like the feud that once drew in so much attention has now fizzled out.
As the new episodes tease the two men facing off against each other once again, many viewers aren’t up for it. Understandably, there are a few reasons behind it.
Fans think Victor’s latest motive for vengeance against Jack in The Young and the Restless ‘is bogus’
A big part of the backlash against the Jack versus Victor situation on The Young and the Restless tries to understand why the latter is mad in the first place. Viewers think that the new reason is just “too ludicrous.”
They think that Victor reopening a full-scale attack on Jack just because Jack helped Nikki does not sit right with many fans. This lack of plausible believability makes it hard to care about the story. Adding to this, a lot of viewers have also pointed out that the payoff does not feel worth it.
Another facet of the whole Victor Newman vs. Jack Abbott fiasco on The Young and the Restless, which is not sitting right with fans, is the pace. What should have felt urgent and dramatic, followed by immediate actions, feels like just boring talk. A viewer writes it off as “months and months of ridiculous repetition.”
Dragging the conflict with repeated threats instead of Victor just acting out as soon as he heard about Nikki and Jack would have felt fresher to fans. The current storyline is just wearing out their patience.
Also, there are no successors to the feud. The Victor Newman vs. Jack Abbott storyline on The Young and the Restless has been going on for decades now. However, their children do not have the same passionate hate against each other, and thus, the future of this plot feels a bit dingy to fans. The viewers have also grown skeptical after so many cycles of threats that have led nowhere.
A fan wrote, “I am so sick of Victor Newman & his vendetta against Jack #YR Think of a new story writers…..” while another said, “Once again, Victor’s motive for vengeance against Jack is bogus and laughable.” (via Soaps)
