Diane (Susan Walters) has been relentless in her pursuit of locating Jack. She’s confronted Victor, Nikki, and Phyllis all in an attempt to learn the whereabouts of her husband. Diane has enlisted the aid of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Billy (Jason Thompson) to find Jack. Last week, they got close to locating the yacht where Jack is being held prisoner.

On Monday’s show, watch for Jack to find himself trapped between Diane and Patty (Stacy Haiduk). Jack felt he was forced to interact with Patty as she was the only other person on the yacht with him, to his knowledge. How will Jack explain to Diane that he had to play along with Patty to survive?
