Whilst there, Jack finds a photo of Keemo with Allie and her phone number and, not knowing who she is, arranges to meet with her, where it is revealed that she is his granddaughter.
Allie is initially unsure of getting to know Jack, with Keemo having told her that he had never met his father, but after some persuasion from a woman calling herself "Taylor Jensen", she decides to meet up with him in a cafe, where she reveals that she wants to be a chemist.
It is revealed that "Taylor" is actually Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters), the mother of Jack's son Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), who has been presumed dead for more than a decade.
The couple then leave Genoa City, with Allie working in a Jabot lab in Paris but continuing to see Noah regularly.
[7] Charlie Mason and Richard Simms from the same website wrote that Allie had the "Strangest Monologue" of 2022 in American soap operas, commenting that "We actually felt kinda bad for Young & Restless newcomer Kelsey Wang when her Allie was stuck wandering around Keemo's empty house talking to her dead dad.
[11] Due to this, the directors allowed Montgomery to change a few words to make it sound more realistic, with the actress saying she felt like she had "free rein".
[12] Montgomery enjoyed working on the soap and said that she would be interesting in returning, adding that "Genoa City could use a good real estate agent".
[11] Tanya is a real estate agent who meets with Allie Nguyen (Kelsey Wang) about selling her father's house.
[13] Her casting was announced in July 2022, with it being reported that the part would be "small" but that she would appear throughout the months to explore to mystery of Diane Jenkins's (Susan Walters) past.
"[13] Morales enjoyed working with her co-stars Walters, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers), calling them "incredible women".
[14] Talia is an investigative journalist who initially reaches out to Nikki to do a story on the death of her son-in-law, Ashland Locke (Robert Newman).
Lauren Huff from Entertainment Weekly wrote "Talk about life imitating art" following the news of Morales joining the soap opera.
[15] The CBS website refers to the character as a "successful businesswoman" who "arrives in Genoa City with a secret agenda and a mysterious past.
[15] Parkerton's colleague, Chris Eades, noted that Audra had "established herself as someone who can hold her own among the town's power players", and added that she was "determined to make her mark".
[21] Hyde felt welcomed by the over cast on the show, with Peter Bergman, who plays Jack Abbott, being the first co-star to "step forward" and make him feel "at home".
Jeremy realises that he has been set up when he is arresting by Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) for stealing the necklace due to it being found at his house.
Candace Young from Soaps She Knows called Jeremy a "baddie" and "nefarious" character who had "insinuated himself into Genoa City society while seeking revenge on his ex for sending him to prison and keeping his money".
[23] Young's colleagues, Charlie Mason and Richard Simms, called Phyllis and Jeremy's plan to frame Diane the "Most Harebrained Scheme" of 2023 in American soap operas.
