Yes! The storyline goes way back.

But sometimes these things are wrong. Anyway, the last show Victor wasn't happy with his brother for even meeting with Jack. I guess....maybe...something changed??? Who knows...next week!

This one is probably better:https://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2018/the-young-and-the-restless-spoilers-victor-fights-his-brother...

Here's some of it:

Seasoned Y&R fans know that Victor has a known brother, Matt (Robert Parucha). Albert and Cora (Dorothy McGuire) were the parents to that child. But Dina’s (Marla Adams) revelation that John (Jerry Douglas) wasn’t Jack’s biological father provoked a question. Who was, or is that man?

Assume that Dina frolicked with Albert. Making Jack become Victor’s brother works on many levels.

Victor has no known sisters through Albert. So Jack couldn’t have been involved romantically with anyone who would turn out to be his half-sister. Ashley’s father was Brent Davis (Bert Kramer), so there’s also no chance that Albert was her father, which would have meant she married her half-brother. These historical considerations must always be reviewed where potential storyline reveals are concerned.

Albert is deceased. So if he turns out to be Jack’s father the only surviving parent to deal with is Dina. Considering her current health and state of mind, Jack would (eventually) handle what she did. No interaction with Albert would be possible, instead Jack’s recognition of his newfound sibling would be the main attraction.

This type of epic re-imangining of two legacy character’s backstories would surely be controversial, which probably would result in a ratings’ upside. News of Jack’s link to Victor would extend well beyond Y&R’s audience into the full soap world and potentially past that, meaning that former viewers and fresh faces would start watching. From that point Y&R’s handling of the created storyline would determine retention levels.....

His brother was on the show before and for several years. He was involved in several major story lines and, back in the day, was great looking... Victor was placed in the orphanage by his mother because she couldn't afford to take care of him, but he did have a younger brother... This is one the writers actually didn't pull out of thin air...
