Jack will likely spend more time with Nikki as he helps her get back on the wagon. If things go his way, Jack might just be the answer to Nikki's predicament.

Young and the Restless: Will Diane Get Jealous?

Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman could get closer again after all these years, either as friends or something more serious. Young and the Restless rumors say this will not bode well with Diane Jenkins.

Although Diane claims she's okay with Jack helping Nikki, she could still get jealous. It's no secret that Diane and Nikki have been longtime rivals.

That said, it's quite understandable that Diane will not be pleased with Jack getting closer to Nikki. Things could get worse if her husband reignites old feelings for his ex.

 

The idea of them getting romantically involved again may be farfetched, though. Nikki is devoted to Victor, and so is Jack to Diane.

Plus, Diane seems understanding of the situation — at least for now. Young and the Restless spoilers say she agrees to Jack's plan of helping Nikki, though she's worried it might affect him negatively.

Still, in true soap fashion, anything is possible. Relationships come and go in Genoa City. Even the big names in town are no exception.

Will we see the day that Nikki and Jack are back in each other's arms? How will Victor and Diane handle it?
