Y&R HOT THEORY: Ian Ward Ain’t Dead & Neither is Aunt Jordan–Everyone Is Bamboozled in GC & it Ain’t by Cane!
IAN WARD AND JORDAN ARE ALIVE—GENOA CITY’S WATCHING THE WRONG VILLAIN
TL;DR: Y&R spoilers reveal Ian Ward isn’t dead (fans knew this), and Aunt Jordan probably isn’t either. While everyone in Genoa City is OBSESSED with Cane Ashby‘s return, they’re completely missing the REAL threat coming their way. Ian and Jordan have plans, and no one’s paying attention because they’re all focused on the wrong villain!
Ian Ward isn’t dead and Young and the Restless fans have known this all along. He totally woke up in the body bag he was put in after he shot Victor Newman and was presumed dead himself. Also, most likely not dead, Aunt Jordan. Both of these characters have nine lives and apparently have at least a couple left.
How convenient for Ian Ward that almost everyone in Genoa City is OBSESSED with the threat of Cane Ashby‘s return to town. No one on Young and the Restless is going to see what Ian and his sidekick have coming next.
All Genoa City Eyes On Cane Ashby, Nothing Else Matters
Young and the Restless fans are not surprised that Ian Ward, portrayed by Ray Wise, is headed back to Genoa City. Fans saw him NOT dead in the ambulance in the body bag he was put in. Genoa City residents could know, but they have been beyond fixated on Aristotle Dumas/Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn), so they have not the slightest clue. The only Genoa City residents who have Ian Ward on their minds are Y&R‘s wives on the rocks, Mariah Copeland and Tessa Porter (Camryn Grimes and Cait Fairbanks), and they are 110% sure he’s dead. Well, not so much, ladies.
The Guy Who Looked Like Ian Ward, Sent by Ian Ward
Mariah Copeland did something bad… Blah, blah, and more blah. This storyline is going on far too long, and Y&R fans’ fast-forward buttons are getting worn out yet again. Ok, so Mariah tried to kill someone. She didn’t. Let’s move on.
Her mother, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), threw Heather Stevens’ (Vail Bloom) body in the river, and no one seems to care. Sharon didn’t kill Heather. Ian did, but still.
Mariah has since tried to suffocate a man who resembled the man who has tormented her most of her life. She didn’t kill him. Tessa has talked with him, and he seems fine. With Ian rolling back into Genoa City, on screen again on Y&R on October 22nd, Ian‘s doppelganger being fine just means not dead. Ian Ward clearly is not done tormenting Mariah Copeland on Young and the Restless.
Finally, Cane Ashby can Chill, & Do What Next??…
Without eyes on Cane Ashby, he can reboot his plans to take over Genoa City on Young and the Restless. While the return of Ian Ward is everyone else’s worst nightmare, his return will be a blessing for Cane. Now the guy with nothing to lose has everything to gain. Plus, he still has Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) as his sidekick.
It’s now Ian and Aunt Jordan versus Cane and Phyllis, and these pairs have NO idea what’s next and why on Y&R.
