Is Victor Flirting With Death? Nikki Warns He’s Messing With a Trigger-Happy Threat!

However you define “there” and “that,” Young & Restless’ Nikki has been there and done that. (See for yourself!) So she is not someone who rattles easily. However, the intense drama that Cane has brought back to the fore along with his return… it’s weighing heavily on Victor’s better half.

“She’s never worried about how it will impact their marriage,” executive producer/headwriter Josh Griffith tells Soaps.com. “I think she knows this marriage is for the ages. But… ”

And of course there’s a “but.” “She worries about how it will impact the family, how it will impact Victor,” the scribe continues. “Victor’s been through a lot, too, and coming on the heels of literally being shot by Ian Ward, is he messing with someone else who could pull a metaphoric or real trigger?”

In many ways, Cane 2.0 is still an unknown entity. We could predict where the old Cane would draw a line in the sand. (Review his history.) After so many years away, though, can we be as sure of the Cane of today? He has come in with a “huge game plan,” Griffith previously told us. (More on that here.)

On top of everything else that’s causing her to lose sleep, Nikki has to fret over the future of Chancellor Industries. (In fact, spoilers reveal that she does just that in the Friday, July 4, episode.) Victor entrusted the company to her, and she’d be loath to let her dear friend Katherine’s life’s work slip through her fingers.
