Phyllis stole Newman Enterprises from Cane Ashby, and the legacy family has resented her for it ever since. The Young and the Restless fans think her corporate takeover is well-deserved. They’ve enjoyed watching Phyllis get into girl boss mode.
Key Takeaways
- Phyllis is finally having her girl boss moment.
- Fans are divided on whether her takeover is a deserved victory or just another criminal act.
- Many users criticized Summer and Daniel for their hypocrisy in judging their mother while overlooking Victor’s similar crimes.
- The portrait in Phyllis’s office is a polarizing symbol that reflects her newfound power or massive ego.
Is Phyllis Having a Girl Boss Moment?
This statement brought up an interesting debate on Reddit. The original poster noted that they were aware that Phyllis (Michelle Stafford, who’s proud to be part of Y&R’s legacy) is a polarizing character among the fans. But they personally enjoyed watching her storyline unfold, and love the portrait that she keeps in her office.
The Redditor blamed Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and Summer (Allison Lanier) for not mentioning Victor’s (Eric Braeden) similar crimes. They also failed to mention that he’s treated her poorly in the past. The same person added, “If anyone deserves to take him down a peg or a few, it might as well be a woman.”
Some fans think it’s high time for Summer to come back home on Y&R. Phyllis, Victor, Kyle (Michael Mealor), and Harrison (Redding Munsell) need her.
One fan responded, “Yes, this whole trend of adult children disowning their parents is ridiculous.” Cane (Billy Flynn) is feeling the heat from his own kids. That same fan argued that “Phyllis deserves better,” since her kids aren’t completely innocent.
Someone else argued, “Standing up for yourself and demanding respect and setting boundaries is far from ridiculous. What is ridiculous is people who think blood relation gives a pass. That is ridiculous and disgusting.”
Do the Newmans Fail to See Errors of Their Ways?
The Newman children find nothing wrong with what their father did. However, they think Phyllis is the worst person in the world. Some fans pointed out the hypocrisy in the thread.
“The Newmans were going to steal Jabot… everyone recognizes and acknowledges that… so that means that they were going to steal her son’s legacy AND that they were going to steal Summer’s company since it’s under the Jabot umbrella,” another user mentioned.
Something else that’s hypocritical is that Phyllis has a portrait of herself hung up in the CEO’s office. Victor and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) have done the same, but some viewers see it as a symbol of Phyllis’s egoism.
Not all fans agree that Phyllis is a girl boss. They don’t see how stealing someone else’s company makes her powerful. It’s also questionable whether she deserves to be at Newman Enterprises.
What are your thoughts? Do you think Phyllis is having a girl boss moment? Do you think it’s well-deserved?
