If Diane (Susan Walters) knows in her head that Jack (Peter Bergman) was duped by Victor (Eric Braeden) and Patty (Stacy Haiduk), her heart simply is not there yet. On Monday's episode, watch for Diane to refuse to accept Jack's apology. She just simply can't believe that, at some point, Jack wasn't drawn to Patty of his own free will.

Things might be clearer for Diane if the Abbotts had taken the bottle of booze from the yacht and had it tested for drugs, but, alas, that didn't happen. For now, Victor's scheme to get even with Jack for various perceived atrocities over the years has taken form. Ironically, Victor's marriage to Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is also on the rocks, and it's because she can't stand that Victor will not stop trying to destroy Jack.

Dear Abby

Abby (Melissa Ordway) may not be in the thick of things in the Newman family's current dramas, which include Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) taking control of Newman Enterprises and Matt Clark's (Roger Howarth) reign of terror, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have problems of her own.

Abby's son, Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark), has already had one nightmare since his ordeal with Mariah (Camryn Grimes), who kidnapped him, came to an end. Abby doesn't want her son harmed any more than he already has been.

On Monday's show, watch for her to reach out to an old friend. Could this old friend be someone who can help Dominic not have nightmares? Who could this person be? Does Abby know any trained therapists other than Sharon (Sharon Case)?

Holden keeps holding on

Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) has been in Genoa City for a little over a year. In that time, he's lost his best friend, Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers), who was killed in Nice, France. He's traded barbs with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), and he spent time in Los Angeles with Claire (Hayley Erin), where their relationship went to another level.

Now, Holden is anxious to make sure that his secret with Audra from their time in L.A. remains just that -- a secret! On Monday's episode, watch for Holden to be found in a compromising situation. Will he be able to wrangle out of it? Or is Holden's past going to catch up with him?
