The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) may be gearing up for three romantic sabotage plots, so he may work to protect some doomed Newman hearts.

Y&R fans know Victor tends to think he knows best when it comes to the love lives of his children and grandchildren.

Victor is always willing to intervene and steer them down a different path if need be.

That’s why there are good reasons to be concerned about some new romantic sabotage schemes getting underway.

Let’s talk about who might be affected by Victor’s bold moves and any love life disasters he might have in mind.

1) Victoria and Nate

Since Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) didn’t work out the first time around, Victor may have serious doubts about them being able to build a lasting relationship this time around either.

Victor previously felt betrayed by Nate and may hold that against him if he starts dating Victoria again.

Nate and Victoria indeed seem to be headed into reunion territory, but Victor may try to ruin their renewed bond and put a stop to their new chapter together.

2) Noah and Sienna

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is clearly quite enamored with Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) despite her marriage to “Mitch Bacall” aka Matt Clark (Matt Cohen) and the whole mess they’re now caught up in.

It doesn’t look like that’ll stop Sienna and Noah from continuing their romance.

In fact, Noah and Sienna may become a real couple once she joins him in Genoa City down the road.

That could enrage Matt even more, but Sienna and Noah will also have to watch out for Victor’s disapproval.

There’s no way Victor will want Noah with Sienna, so he may make it his mission to tear them apart.

3) Claire and Holden

Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) seems ready to move on from Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), but that doesn’t mean her decision will stick.

Holden has developed feelings for Claire and may not be willing to let her go without a fight.

Victor doesn’t want Claire involved with an untrustworthy bad boy and would rather see her concentrate on work.

If there’s a chance Holden might convince Claire to move forward with him after all, Victor may want to nip that in the bud.

Victor already worked to sabotage Claire and Kyle Abbott’s (Michael Mealor) relationship, though he later acted like it was simply a test for Kyle to pass.

Regardless, Holden and Claire could face a sabotage plot as well if their romance goes any further.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Victor will keep proving he’s quite the manipulator when it comes to the Newmans’ love lives.
