What will Happen

YOUNG AND RESTLESS

Nikki Is Named Co-CEO

Now that Ashland is out, Newman/Locke reverts back to Newman Enterprises, where Adam points out to Victor that Victoria shouldn't be in charge anymore. "Adam feels that the fact that she could be duped by this man shows she doesn't have the right instinct needed for the job," says Co-Executive Producer/Head Writer Josh Griffith. "Now, Adam is determined to prove to his father that he's more suited to sit in the big chair."

Victoria has already floated the idea of naming another co-CEO to replace Ashland, and Adam wants his dad to give him that role. But Victoria bristles at the idea of Adam taking the position and she chooses Nikki instead. Griffith explains, "Victor is totally on board with the decision but saddened by the fact that there's still this big conflict between two of his children. Adam's not going to roll over and neither is Ashland, so things will spin out in a way that no one sees coming. There will be twist upon twist with where this story goes."
