For weeks, the name “Aristotle Dumas” has been on the lips of nearly every Genoa City resident. While anxiously awaiting his presumed arrival, Young & Restless fans have joined us in speculating as to who the man might be. Would the business tycoon be a new character or perhaps someone already familiar to the audience? Would this be another case of the writers reaching into the past in order to mine for future story?

Now, thanks to new information provided by none other than Victor Newman, we’re pretty sure the answer has been made clear: Aristotle Dumas is actually the gone-but-not-forgotten Tucker McCall.

In speculating with Michael Baldwin, the men laid out their case regarding the possibility… and it was a solid argument. Dumas, they acknowledged, is the owner of a company with a French name, Arabesque… much like Tucker owned the equally French Glisade. Then there’s the fact that Dumas is working to help Billy rebuild his reputation and establish himself as a force to be reckoned with… which might well be Tucker’s way of scoring points with Billy’s sister, Ashley.

As for Dumas’ interest in Winters Inc., the men noted that it just happens to be run by Devon… aka Tucker’s son! Oh, as an added bonus, there’s the little fact that Tucker’s ex, Audra Charles, helped Victor to steal Glisade, which could indicate that there’s a bit of a revenge plot in motion.

All in all, a strong case was presented. But what really convinced us that Tucker is, indeed, the mysterious Dumas? The fact that it was Victor doing the theorizing. There are certain characters in the television universe who are always right. Dallas‘ Miss Ellie was never on the wrong side of anything… ever. If Scooby-Doo‘s Velma declared that a ghost was actually the “kindly” local grocer, he’d soon be unmasked as trying to drive down real estate prices.

Like them, Victor is never wrong. Oh, he certainly does things which are wrong, but if he states something as fact, it’s pretty much written in stone. If he predicts a baddie’s downfall, fall down they shall do. If he declares a relationship doomed, fail it shall. It’s something of a family trait. Heck, look at the Newman crest, and you’ll see the words “I told you so” inscribed in Latin.

The only questions we have now is when Tucker will arrive… and if he will once again be played by his last portrayer, Trevor St. John.
