Victor Newman’s nicknames for the Abbotts across town on Young & the Restless are aging as well as these legacy characters themselves. What would soap opera fans do without The Almighty Victor Newman, Smilin’ Jack Abbott, & Billy Boy Abbott? The Mustache is not going to let that happen…
Y&R’s Oldest Rivalry: The Mustache vs Smilin’ Jack Abbott
For many soap opera fans, it’s not their first day watching Young & the Restless & they know all too well the rivalry between The Almighty Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) & Smilin’ Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Although their rivalry has been lather-rinse-repeat for nearly 50 years, their presence on screen in Genoa City is imperative to Y&R fans.
There was a recent occasion, however, that The Mustache & Smilin’ Jack Abbott were on the same page. Both men pooled their resources including their security teams to track down their mutual grandson, great-grandson in the case of Victor after little Harrison (Redding Munsell) was kidnapped from the Abbott Estate by Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk). They even bellied up to the bar at Victor’s daughter/Jack’s niece Abby Newman’s (Melissa Ordway) restaurant to enjoy premium spirits. Victor picked the spirit & made Jack pay, but otherwise the meeting was pleasant as they shared efforts to save Harrison.

Now The Mustache & Smilin’ Jack are back to business as usual. Victor Newman has his pawns in place to outsmart Jack Abbott & Jack Abbott is trying to beat Victor at his own game. If only Y&R fans could look forward to more office chairs being thrown out of office tower windows by “Screamin’ Jack Abbott” Young & the Restless…
Billy Boy Abbott, Victor Newman’s Nicknames That Stick
Victor Newman coined Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) nickname many years ago & it has stuck like glue. The Mustache calls Billy Abbott Billy Boy Abbott & Young & the Restless fans can’t help but snicker. Victor is so condescending to Billy Boy it’s somehow funny at times. He’s not funny all of the time, but sometimes for sure.
Sure, Billy Boy has quite the track record & a closet full of skeletons, but has Victor Newman ever done a self-evaluation of his track record & the stack of skeletons in his closet? Victor Newman wins that contest yet again & Billy Boy has to feel the pain. It’s like Victor Newman gets bored playing Chess at The Ranch, tries to play Chess in real life with Genoa City residents as his real-life Chess pieces, & if he gets bored there it’s time to torment Billy Boy Abbott with or without reason.
News to the Young & the Restless writers… Young & the Restless are more than ready for Billy Boy to win one. It’s time.
The Mustache by The Almighty Victor Newman on Y&R
Despite all of The Almighty Victor Newman’s dirty deeds in & outside of the Newman family, Young & the Restless fans remain fans. Sure, there are Y&R fans who have taken a Mustache pause here & there throughout the years, but they always come back to who should be the mayor of Genoa City.
So, Young & the Restless fans, is there anything that The Mustache could do that he hasn’t done already that would turn you off from your loyal Victor Newman fandom? If so, what would that be?
