The Young & The Restless: Susan Walters Dishes On Diane, Jack & Patty Drama
During a conversation with Soap Opera Digest, the actress revealed that when Diane and Jack were joyful throughout last yr, she knew some major drama was coming their way soon. “I assumed that out of a few of the other women in Jack’s past, she was an ideal selection,” she felt about Patty.
Susan added that because Patty’s character is dangerous, sexy, and crazy, she was “the right person to be the catalyst for the issues between Jack and Diane and to tug off this kidnapping of him.” The characters even have significant histories that stretch back a long time, to the Nineteen Eighties.
Back then, Diane and Jack had an affair the very day he got married to Patty. The soap star felt this backstory gives Patty more license to do what she is doing because Diane caused pain in Patty’s life, and now it’s her turn to do the identical. “And it also gives Diane more fear,” she further expressed.
“It might have been anyone, however it was even worse that it was Patty. There was a component of shock that it was Patty,” Susan explained, and identified that seeing Jack and Patty in that state was painful, shocking, offended, and embarrassing for Diane. Which can also be why Diane slapped Jack.
“Women mostly fight with their words. So after they don’t have anything else they’ll say, when it’s such a giant feeling they’ll’t say anything, that’s after they hit,” the 62-year-old mused and added that she just isn’t defending the act but explaining that Diane’s anger and hurt led to the violent response.
Susan concluded that Diane is devastated, mortified, and humiliated. “Her heart is broken. She seems like the connection is over, and that leads her to make a daring move,” she concluded about what to anticipate from the story.
