Scenes from Genoa City: July 22, 2026
The photos above feature Matt (Daytime Emmy nominee Roger Howarth) lying in a fetal position, probably contemplating how in the world he got here. The photos also focus on Phyllis (Daytime Emmy nominee Michelle Stafford) and Matt, who are growing closer by the day.
There’s no way that Phyllis wants Matt Clark to leave town. Not when she has found someone she can relate to. There are definite sparks here. And they just shared a kiss at the bar of the GCAC. Phyllis won’t want to give this guy up so soon after connecting with him.
But these are also two incredibly damaged individuals. Matt is dealing with the Newmans, who either want to use him or to disappear him. They are both looking for some sort of redemption, although Phyllis will say she’s not. She is who she is. But her Newman Enterprises coup was all about everyone recognizing how formidable she is and showing her respect.
Here’s the thing. The teasers reveal that Phyllis keeps tabs on Matt Clark. This could be to make sure he doesn’t actually leave town. Or she has her own hidden agenda. Or maybe this is her being protective. With Phyllis, it is undoubtedly all of the above.
