‘Young And The Restless’ Spoilers: Victor’s Confession Shocks Abby, Nick Clashes With Nikki Over Jack

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Thursday, August 3, state that Abby (Melissa Ordway) is shocked to learn during a conversation with Victor (Eric Braeden) that he gave Hilary (Mishael Morgan) permission to air footage showing him having a violent confrontation with Nick (Joshua Morrow) at the parking lot after the benefit concert.

Abby is angry with Hilary for airing the family’s dirty laundry. She asks Victor why he has not taken any action against Hilary. Victor’s confession that he gave Hilary permission to use the footage comes as a huge shock to Abby who had never thought that Victor would approve anyone airing the family’s dirty laundry.

Abby now sees her father’s true colors for the first time, according to Soap Hub. Victor expects absolute loyalty from everyone, but he does not see himself as owing loyalty to anyone.

The glaring evidence of Victor’s petty and vengeful nature has been there all along, but Abby has either been in denial or failed to notice because she has been on the fringe of the family’s constant squabbles and crisis fueled by Victor’s irascibility.

Now she is forced to acknowledge the reality that Victor is a brutal, lying, scheming, petty, and vengeful person whose outrageous conduct has traumatized his children and the entire family. And judging from his recent conduct, it appears that he will gladly ruin his own children to get even after a real or imagined slight.

How will Abby handle the shocking truth about the man she calls her father? Will she have the courage to call Victor out for allowing Hilary to air the footage because he wanted to get back at Nick?

If Victor would go all out to ruin Nick, which of them will be next?

Abby is very uneasy about the information and feels a sense of foreboding.
