Victor’s Ruthless Power Plays

Victor Newman has always been known for ruthless tactics — but lately, he’s not just crossing the line, he’s bulldozing it.
His latest move? Using Audra Charles as a pawn in a manipulative scheme.
Some fans think it’s time he finally faces real consequences… maybe even a one-way ticket to jail.

 Audra’s Downfall: From Powerhouse to Pawn

When The Young and the Restless introduced Audra in 2022, fans were hyped.
She was sharp, ambitious, and ready to shake up Genoa City.

But now?
She’s reduced to seducing her ex (Kyle) in exchange for a mystery job Victor’s dangling over her head.
(And no — they haven’t even said what the job is.)

 Brains Over Beauty? Not in Genoa City

Audra was built to thrive in business — not to be reduced to her looks.
Yet, the writers have scripted her into a trap, where her main value is being desirable — not powerful.

Victor’s history of using women like this is long and gross:

• Manipulating Patty to get revenge on Jack

• Exploiting Kelly’s mental illness

• Having a fake Jack sleep with Phyllis — a moment fans still call sexual assault

Now it seems Audra is just the latest victim in this pattern.

 Audra’s Dilemma: No Real Choice

The worst part?
Audra doesn’t even want to go through with Victor’s plan.
She’s not being ambitious — she’s being coerced.

This could destroy her relationship with Nate, and for what? A job she may not even want?
It’s a no-win situation that undermines everything her character once stood for.

 Time for a Rewrite

Zuleyka Silver (Audra’s actress) once said Audra prioritizes business over romance — but this?
This isn’t business savvy.
This is shady manipulation wrapped in flirtation and power games.

Audra deserves better stories, and fans deserve a smarter show.

 Final Thoughts

Victor’s toxic patterns need to stop.
Audra should be allowed to thrive with her brain, not just her body.
Let’s give her a challenge worthy of her character — not another backroom deal.

 Summary:

• Victor is using Audra to seduce Kyle for unclear corporate gain.

• Audra, once a strong character, has been reduced to a pawn in Victor’s manipulations.

• The storyline echoes Victor’s past abuses involving women.

• Audra’s being coerced, not empowered — and her arc deserves better.

• Fans are calling for a shift — give Audra a plotline that uses her intellect, not her looks.
