On The Young and the Restless, April 28, Phyllis tries to recruit her own son to keep Christine out of the DA’s office. Her goal is to make sure that Christine doesn’t accept the position so she can avoid jail time.
Key Takeaways
- Phyllis is taking the steps to protect herself, even though Victor has beaten her to the punch.
- Christine is considering the DA position, which has Phyllis shaking in her boots.
- Phyllis tries to get her son, Daniel, to side with her to keep Christine out of the DA’s office.
Phyllis Uses Daniel as a Pawn
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) knows her kids want nothing to do with her. But she will do anything to get them on her side. On Tuesday’s episode, Phyllis paced around her office as she spoke to Lauren (Tracey Bregman). She scoffed at Michael’s (Christian Le Blanc) advice to accept Victor’s (Eric Braeden) deal.
Phyllis believes that Victor is upset that she won the corporate wars. She intends to stay on top. But she’s going to need someone’s help. Phyllis doesn’t want to go to prison for her wrongdoings.
Daniel (Michael Graziadei) entered the office at the right time. He wanted to know what his mother wanted from him now. Phyllis asked Daniel for his forgiveness. She tested him to see if he would side with her.
Halting Christine’s Future
Phyllis doesn’t just want her son’s forgiveness. She wanted him to do some dirty work for her. She explained that she could lose everything, and Daniel could already tell that Victor was involved.
Phyllis showed him Victor’s fabricated evidence showing that she stole his company. But Daniel wanted nothing to do with this. His mother stole the company. End of argument.
Phyllis asked her son if he was fine with her going to prison. Daniel informed her that he couldn’t stop it unless she gave back the company. Then he realized this was not about Victor. It’s about Christine (Lauralee Bell), who was considering the DA position.
Will Daniel Get Involved?
Phyllis is scared that Christine could become a DA and target Phyllis. She wanted Danny to keep Christine from accepting the position. But this would take a little meddling on Daniel’s part.
Up to this point, Daniel has accepted Christine and Danny’s (Michael Damian) relationship. He has also likened Christine to a second mother, a stable one he’s never had. Now, Phyllis is trying to create a wedge between them.
What will Daniel do? Will he encourage his father to keep Christine from taking the position? Or will he let his mother go to jail?
