‘The Young and the Restless’ Plot Spoilers Revealed in Jill Farren Phelps, Chuck Pratt Interview

'The Young and the Restless' Plot Spoilers Revealed in Jill Farren Phelps, Chuck Pratt Interview

“The Young and the Restless” executive producer Jill Farren Phelps and her co-producer and head writer Chuck Pratt recently sat down for an interview with TV Insider and revealed some major plot spoilers. These two are shaking up Y&R with crazy storylines including several recent catastrophes and killings. The two had previously worked on General Hospital and are now riling up fans with some of their controversial plots. Here’s a look at the “Young and the Restless” spoilers that cropped up during the interview.

#1 Phyllis will lead the charge to sort out the doppelganger plot

Pratt revealed that in the weeks and months to come, Phyllis Summers [Gina Tognoni] will investigate the two Jacks and will be on the forefront of figuring out who is who and where the real Jack Abbott [Peter Bergman] has gone. She will start to realize things aren’t right and then look back at things that didn’t ring true to build a theory that faux Jack isn’t who everyone believes him to be. Phyllis will discuss her theory but the others involved will take more convincing.

#2 Victor will ultimately be held accountable for the fake Jack farce

Fake Jake (aka Yack) has been telling a lot of lies and has been sleeping with Phyllis, wife of the real Jack and many are comparing this to rape. In essence, it is, since Phyllis is being tricked into having sex with a virtual stranger. It’s almost like a roofie in disguise. According to Pratt, once Phyllis figures out that she’s been taken advantage of, she will look to hold someone accountable and the obvious person is Victor Newman [Eric Braeden].

#3 Michael’s cancer story will take an unexpected direction

When Pratt joined the show, he was less than thrilled with the Michael Baldwin [Christian LeBlanc] prostate cancer storyline – not because he doesn’t like cancer plots but because he didn’t like that “all the women in the story were sitting around talking about erections and stuff.” But, he also said that Michael and Lauren Fenmore Baldwin [Tracey Bregman] were boring and needed a shake up. He has decided to take the cancer story in a new direction, though, and says it won’t be what fans expect.

#4 Ashley will get her own featured storyline

Since returning to Y&R, Ashley Abbott [Eileen Davidson] has been an ancillary player in other storylines – apparently at her request. But Pratt and Phelps plan on developing a storyline just for her. They want to set Ashley up to be an equal alongside her brother Jack and ex-hubby Victor. One idea the co-producers are considering is exploring a mother-daughter plot to allow Ashley and daughter Abby Newman [Melissa Ordway] to deepen and test their relationship dynamics.

#5 Dylan and Sharon will solidify as a couple

Pratt plans to explore the new relationship between Dylan McAvoy [Steve Burton] and Sharon Newman [Sharon Case]. Pratt says that Sharon has a had a hard time and “needs saving” and that Dylan is a “really solid guy who will be very helpful to her.” He says this is a clean slate for both Sharon and Dylan since he’s also had a rough go of it and wasn’t treated very well when he first came to Genoa City. So don’t look for Sharon to get back with Nick anytime soon!

It sounds like there are exciting things to come. During his tenure at General Hospital, Pratt created some polarizing characters that have become solid fan favorites including Sam Morgan [Kelly Monaco], Ric Lansing [Rick Hearst] and Faith Roscoe [Cynthia Preston]. Pratt may become, in addition to Phelps, another show runner at Y&R that fans will love to hate. But one thing is certain – the ride won’t be boring!

      I AGREE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SHARON SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE FOR ALL THE THINGS SHE HAS DONE WRONG.

  2. Wanda McClenithan says

    That will put Sharon with Nicks brother, nothing like keeping it all in the family ! I think I am through with this program. Been watching since day 1, but it is getting to be boring & stupid !!!

  3. Debbie Holt says

    I like the Sharon and Dylan together she need a man, she get cheated out of that. And the Jack thing it not good anymore. I fast forward it. ASHLEY need to bring down, Victor and take over Jabo, and Adam need to get back his family, and Chelsea

  4. Faye Taylor says

    Please leave Avery with Joe. They are both boring.
    But whatever you do DON’T PUT SHARON WITH THE NEW ADAM, No chemistry between the two.don’t let Sage be pregnant enough with the WHO IS THE BABY DADDY!!

  5. Carol Richards says

    Looks like I’ll be NOT watching for a lot longer than I first anticipated. When the Yack and Jack thing is over is when I planned to return but with that above interview its gonna be ALOT longer. Goodbye Y&R

  6. FRANK C. says

    I FIND THAT ALL THE STORYLINES ARE TO DRAGGED OUT AMD I LOOSE INTEREST AS THEY DO . SUCH AS THE TWO MURDERS . WHO DONE IT WHAT WE ALL WANT TO KNOW .
    THE STORY LINE WITH TWO JACKS I FIND A LITTLE THIN AND THE REAL JACK HELP PRISONER IS RATHER FEEBLE .
    I GUESS THERE ARE THOSE WHO ENJOY IT THOUGH NO MATTER WHAT. .
    I HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW FOR YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO UNTIL MY DEMISE

    Notice this spoiler says weeks and months? We have to deal with this fake Jack crap, for that long!? This writing is an insult to our intelligence.Its garbage.

    1. mona19595 says

      I totally AGREE! I think Chuck Pratt is making the Y & R too soapy and it is STUPID!!!

  8. Mary Helmsing says

    Sometimes you can change things too much and you should leave well enough alone. You need some peace somewhere when you create so much havoc!

  9. Willie Davis says

    im just about sick of this murder plot as well as this jack double get on with it !!! Please!!!

  10. scyren says

    I swear they put Steve Burton with women I hate on purpose just to drive me mad! lol. Ugh. I hate Sharon. I hate that Dylan is being dumbed down to be with her. The only good thing is that god-awful Davery is done. I hate she’s acting like this is all on Sharon and Dylan after her behavior with Joe. She needs to go away. Never liked her.

    Anyway, Y&R is not really enjoyable as of late. I think Pratt is taking RC writing classes and considering that my GH is like beyond fixing at that point, it’s not a good idea. Y&R like GH has totally lost it’s vibe. Characters are trashed left and right and they don’t seem to care. And now that I know Pratt is responsible for that god-awful boring annoying Sam, I dislike him even more.

    Now, because of my Steve addiction, I will be forced to not fast forward through Sharon. I hate you Charles Pratt.
