The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is feeling her oats right now.
Among other things, she’s in control of Arabesque and the GCAC and doesn’t mind telling everyone she meets.
She recently saw Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan), and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) at Society and rubbed her good news in their faces.
Key Takeaways
- Phyllis celebrates her control of Arabesque and the GCAC
- Victor may have plans to derail her business empire
- Lauren’s absence leaves Phyllis facing additional pressure
- Daniel could clash with his mother over business decisions
- Matt Clark’s influence may threaten Phyllis’ future
Phyllis Bucking For A Breakdown?
She crowed on about Arabesque, and her self-esteem appears to be dependent on taking over the GC business scene. It’s all well and good to have goals, but what if she can’t accomplish them?
It’s not like Phyllis has thrived in any one venture across her time in GC. Except for tormenting Christine Romalotti (Lauralee Bell). And she isn’t going to get rich off of antagonism.
Victor Is Amused
Speaking of antagonism, Phyllis is gloating to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) about her new acquisitions.
He is amused right now, but there’s no doubt he won’t allow her to take over his town. And then what happens?
With Victor preparing to deliver Phyllis a dangerous ultimatum, her latest victory may not last as long as she hopes.
Phyllis is a loose cannon at the best of times. Even when things are going gangbusters for her, she is her own worst enemy.
How Will Phyllis Fare?
There’s no guarantee that she won’t run Arabesque, et al., into the ground. First of all, Arabesque is a shadow of what it once was. She has a lot of work to do to get it to the top, and her hands are somewhat tied at the moment.
Her partner Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) is going out of town, meaning she has to go it alone for a while.
Can Phyllis Succeed?
She has her son Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) on board, but he’s green and not a shark like she is. If anything, they will butt heads as they always end up doing.
Phyllis will need to train and mentor Daniel as she tries to build from the ground up, not a simple task.
Plus, she has to find more money to keep things afloat, and there are only so many people she can ask favors of.
As Victor’s possible trap threatens Phyllis’ new business empire, Daniel could find himself caught in the middle of another disaster.
Will Phyllis Conquer GC?
Given this scenario, Phyllis has to work her butt off to achieve her grand dreams.
She’s willing to work, we’ll give her that, but somehow she manages to sabotage her efforts in the end.
There is also the bad influence of Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) to consider. The villain is still haunting GC, and spoilers indicate he may return to the dark side, taking her along with him.
After all, Matt’s secret connection to Patty Williams could leave Phyllis feeling betrayed if she discovers what he’s been hiding.
If Phyllis can’t take down the Newmans, own Genoa City, and have the little people bow and scrape to her, what happens then?
We predict that Phyllis will explode and hit rock bottom if her happily ever after doesn’t come true. What do you think? Is a breakdown inevitable for Red?
Editor’s Take
Oh, Phyllis! She’s barely gotten her hands on Arabesque and the GCAC, and she’s already acting like she owns Genoa City! I love her confidence, but taking on Victor Newman is a whole different ball game. He’s not going to sit back and let her threaten his empire forever.
What worries me most is Daniel. He’s finally agreed to work with his mother, and I’d hate to see him dragged down if her grand plans fall apart. And Matt Clark? That’s another disaster waiting to happen. I hope Phyllis proves everyone wrong for once, but Red has a habit of being her own worst enemy. Do you think she’ll succeed, or is Victor about to teach her another painful lesson?
