If you don’t recall, Diane is Kyle Abbott’s (Michael Mealor) mother. And she’s been assumed dead for years on the CBS soap opera. Diane last appeared in 2011. At that time her death led to a murder mystery.
Before her death, Diane Jenkins romanced Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott. Diane used him to get the top model spot at Jabot. However, despite her scheming, she fell in love with the Abbott hunk.
But they were never able to fully commit to each other. So she went on to marry Victor. However, due to his past vasectomy, she was unable to have the baby she longed for on Young and the Restless.
