Recently, The Young and the Restless fans witnessed Jordan’s arrest. However, the aftermath of this incident has brought new challenges for the Newman family. We all know that Nikki is struggling with addiction to alcohol, and only professional support can help her come out.
The latest spoilers suggest that Nikki will soon enter rehab to get proper treatment. Now, this makes us wonder, if Nikki heads to rehab, who will take over for Nikki at Newman Media? Will it be someone from the Newman clan, or will it be someone else? So, let’s delve in and look at some of the possible choices for the temporary Newman Media CEO.
What Lies Ahead For Nikki & Newman Media?
Even though Jordan got caught by the police in the episode that aired on December 26, the problems she caused for the Newmans are far from over. Take Claire, for instance. She’s got a tough journey ahead in her recovery on The Young And The Restless. Having been troubled by her crazy great-aunt all her life, Claire now faces the challenge of figuring out who she is as a wanted member of the Newman family. Then there’s Victoria. She and Cole have to keep dealing with the fact that their daughter didn’t die as a baby, and they missed out on raising her. Trying to make up for lost time won’t be easy, it’s a bitter pill to swallow.
Even though Claire, Victoria, and Cole are facing challenges, Nikki has been through a lot and needs to recover. Under Jordan’s control, Claire forced Nikki to consume alcohol when she was held hostage in Oregon. Since then, Nikki has struggled to stay sober, managing to hide this relapse until Nate saw her drinking and told Victor. In the episode of The Young And The Restless, Victoria found a flask in Nikki’s purse. With all this, it seems likely that Nikki will go to rehab to get her life back on track. If that happens, it makes us wonder what will happen at Newman Media.
The Young And The Restless: Who Will Take Charge At Newman Media?
Throughout this whole situation with Jordan, it seems the Newman family understandably hasn’t paid much attention to the Newman business. With Jordan not around right now, the Newmans might go back to their usual work. But if Nikki is going to rehab, they’ll need someone else to take over as the Newman Media CEO. So, who might that be? Audra is a good choice because she’s already the COO of Newman Media and was the CEO before Victor chose his wife for the role. Considering what’s happening with Tucker’s plans for a Jabot takeover, Audra might be happy to step in for her boss.
Adam is also in the running to fill in temporarily for his stepmom. As Adam openly talks about, Newman Media is like the baby that was taken away from him. He has always wanted the opportunity to take control of the business. Since Victor thinks Adam has turned over a new leaf, The Mustache might be willing to let Adam show himself as the temporary CEO. Now, while Audra and Adam are both possibilities for the interim CEO role, let’s suggest a surprising candidate, Noah. There have been rumors that Noah is coming back to Genoa City very soon.
Y&R fans know that Noah is good at business and has lots of experience in the family company. His grandparents really like him and trust that he won’t give in to bad things like Audra and Adam sometimes do. Also, Nick would love to work closely with his son now that Nick is back at Newman Enterprises. But if Noah fills in for his grandmother for a bit, Adam might get really mad for not being chosen again. And Audra could be in an awkward work situation reporting to her ex. So, stick to see who steps in Nikki’s shoes. Also, keep your dial locked on TV Season & Spoilers for all the latest scoops on The Young and the Restless!
