Y&R’s Aunt Jordan by Colleen Zenk is supposedly dead & Young & the Restless fans have mixed feelings. CBS soap opera alum Colleen Zenk knocked portraying Aunt Jordan out of the park. Is she gone too soon or just on pause for more debauchery in Genoa City?
Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) isn’t the first lady in Genoa City on Young & the Restless to run around in disguise. Soap Opera fans may argue that Jordan did it best, but how? Where did Aunt Jordan find the funding to get herself in & out of a hospital, a coffee shop, a bar, a hotel, & wherever else she was running around undercover?
It’s reasonable to infer that as of late Ian Ward (Ray Wise) has been sponsoring Jordan’s costumes, specific tea orders at Crimson Lights, & their steak & red wine dates inside their motel room at the Riverbank Motel in Genoa City. Ian is somehow out of prison without restriction & could totally have cash somehow, but how was Aunt Jordan funding herself before she was checked into the Newman Prison of Brussell Sprouts & Vodka?
If it wasn’t for that damn Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) & Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) would still be holding Aunt Jordan inside his secret cell on the Newman Compound. Victor would have had to delay the big reveal of the new Newman Ranch to his darling wife Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), but the continued banter between him & Jordan would be worth it to Young & the Restless fans.
Jordan was living surprising her well off of her diet of brussell sprouts & vodka provided by The Mustache. Victor Newman was convinced that he was doing everything in his power to protect his family. After recent events on Y&R involving Aunt Jordan, Cole Howard will likely be off of Victor Newman’s list of people who he pretends to like.
Ian Ward teaming up with Aunt Jordan to take down the Newman family was something Young & the Restless fans didn’t know they needed. These two kicking off their alliance inside what soap opera fans thought was the Genoa City Motor Arms with red wine & steaks was unexpected some humor. It’s also funny how the Genoa City Motor Arms & the Riverbank Motel in Genoa City are decorated & look exactly the same.
Then with almost nothing to lose, Jordan kidnapped Queen Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) just outside of Society on NYE.
What?!? As if. Young & the Restless fans have seen this movie before. Jordan doesn’t go down easy & even if she did this time, she wouldn’t be the first to return from the dead on this soap opera.
Victor Newman’s security team who has been worthless at best ever since Aunt Jordan entered the Young & the Restless cast of characters has been worthless at best. Jordan’s body is on it’s way to the morgue, but is it really?
Colleen Zenk is too good to be taken out this soon. If anyone can fake ones death, she’s Jordan by Colleen on Y&R.
