The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has not faced defeat so far. However, a concealed vulnerability might shatter his pride.
Victor Can Fix Any Issue That Needs Fixing
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is now capable of resolving every issue on The Young and the Restless.
He successfully took down Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) using an AI program that siphoned off his business’s funds-now, Victor intends to apply the same strategy against Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
Victor has demonstrated that he is unbeatable and can tackle any challenge that his children and grandchildren encounter; for years, he has established himself as invincible.
He never relied on AI; The Mustache has always been several steps ahead of everyone else. Yet, this advancement only amplifies his power.
What his adversaries fail to realize is that he harbors a concealed vulnerability. They are too preoccupied with attacking what they believe will hurt him—his wealth and businesses—to uncover this weakness.
For Victor, His Focus Isn’t On Money Or Status, It’s On His Family
However, for Victor, the focus isn’t on money or status-he might project an image of being solely concerned with those aspects. Ultimately, he desires to be perceived as valuable to his loved ones and formidable to his foes, his true weakness lies in the need to be viewed as the protector of his family.
He relishes the role of the fixer, even if it means manipulating Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Victor craves his family’s dependence on him for everything.
This is why he interferes in the romantic lives of his children and grandchildren. He even bribed Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) to keep her distance from Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) due to his lack of trust in her.
Victor Always Believes He Knows What’s Best For His Family
As always, he believes he knows what’s best for Noah. This situation mirrors that of Claire (Hayley Erin) and Kyle (Michael Mealor).
Victor bribed Audra (Zuleyka Silver) to separate the young lovers, yet it seems nothing can keep them apart for long. Victor rationalizes his actions as a means to protect those he cares about-he thrives on the rush of being the sole savior.
To bring down Victor Newman, his adversaries must alter that story; the only effective way to defeat him is through indifference.
Victor cannot manipulate those who are indifferent to him-Jack’s choice to close Jabot was a major mistake, and so is his ongoing feud with Victor.
