The Young and the Restless’ Victoria: 3 Times She Shared a Lover With Her Mother, Nikki
Victoria (Amelia Heinle) sleeping with Kyle (Michael Mealor) on Young and Restless means she’s taking a lover who also slept with her daughter, Claire (Hayley Erin). It’s a situation Victoria knows well from the other side: Three times before, she and her mother, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), have been involved with the same guy. Here are the three men who were intimate with both Victoria and Nikki.
Cole Howard
Back in 1993, Victor (Eric Braeden) hired Cole (J. Eddie Peck) to work at the Newman Ranch. But when the patriarch was presumed killed in a car crash, Cole found himself comforting his “widow,” Nikki, and this soon led to a torrid affair. Then Cole met Victoria (then-Heather Tom), and they fell for each other. Nikki and a back-from-the-“dead” Victor were horrified when Victoria and Cole eloped because they believed the two to be half siblings. A DNA test proved that not to be the case, and Victoria happily remarried Cole, though when she later learned that he’d slept with her mother, she dumped her husband.
Brad Carlton
Nikki had begun a relationship with Brad (Don Diamont) in 1995, and he eventually popped the question, despite her lingering feelings for Victor. However, as they prepared to tie the knot in 1996, Victor was shot, and Nikki raced to his side. After being cleared as a suspect in the attempted murder, Brad realized he couldn’t compete with Victor and broke things off with Nikki. A decade later, Victoria and Brad fell in love and got married, though the union was short-liveddue to his feelings for Sharon (Sharon Case) and her fling with J.T. (Thad Luckinbill).
Deacon Sharpe
In 2009, Victoria saw photos of her husband, J.T., kissing his ex, Colleen (Tammin Sursok), prompting her to have revenge sex with her colleague, Deacon (Sean Kanan). The following year, devious Deacon set his sights on Nikki, knocking the alcoholic off the wagon as part of a scheme to destroy her marriage to Victor. Victoria was aghast over her mother’s involvement with sleazy Deacon, especially when he blackmailed Nikki into marriage in 2011.
