Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis Switch Begins – Michelle Stafford Returns

The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that the attack on Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni) at the Genoa City Athletic Club, where she’s been residing, begins the actor switch of this character. Michelle Stafford’s (Phyllis) return is believed to happen later this summer, as this daytime actor previously agreed to rejoin Y&R’s cast.

So who would want to stick a needle in Phyllis’ neck, thereby knocking her out? Sure, her actions in recent weeks, combined with the public pairing with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) ruffled many feathers. But it would seem that no one would have been motivated to drug her.

Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) is known to be returning to GC. Readers of this comprehensive soap site have been aware of Rikaart’s re-up with Y&R for awhile. Combine that with heavy Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) talk in recent episodes and it’s fair to wonder if Kevin, for whatever reason, was wearing the black mask in Phyllis’ suite?

However, news flashed across many people’s screens earlier this week that Hendrickson is leaving her role as Margaux Dawson on General Hospital. Yes, this equally great actor is also returning to Y&R.

So, is Chloe the assaulter? Her motivation to go after Phyllis would be challenging to imagine at this point in the plot. Chloe has a history of attacking Adam, including shooting him with a sedative dart and then blowing up the cabin where he was believed to have died in September 2016.

But who would be most roiled to see Phyllis apparently assisting Adam? Well, the woman who still believes that he was responsible for running her daughter down, even if that tragedy was accidental in October 2013.

Delia Abbott’s (Sophie Pollono) death continued to haunt Chloe through the point when she left town. That followed Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) realization that she’d supposedly killed Adam (as then played by Justin Hartley).

Victor allowed Chloe to fake her own death due to his not wanting her second-born daughter, Bella Mitchell (Cali May Kinder), to be without her mother. Chloe, Bella, and Kevin then took off for the west coast a few years ago, where they’ve supposedly been living ever since.

Chloe, or Kevin as Phyllis’ assaulter would make sense. But what if neither person did it?

Phyllis’ list of enemies is enough to fill multiple posts about this classic daytime show. In brief then, regarding a potential alternative foe, it’s possible that she financially stiffed someone who was involved in the JCV knockoff endeavor. That type of unknown enemy could be the culprit, unless Khloe was involved.

    Gina, was a million times better than Michelle Stafford. I don’t like how they shoved Gina out to give the job back to Stafford when she quit the role as Phyllis saying she had taken the character as far as she could.

    • Guest

      Gina is the better actress..

  • Guest

    This traci story is such a waste of time. It’s stupid stupid stupid. Traci and cane. Please. Get Tessa singing lessons!!

  • Guest

    Michelle Stafford is Phyllis….
    Welcome back……..

    • Guest

      So true,never liked Gina.

  • praying lady

    I agree with Sue!!!!!!!!!!

  • Guest

    I think Gina did a better job . I’ve watched this since 1983.. I’m not happy they brought back Michelle.. oh well.. it’s a soap after all

  • Guest

    Gina Tognoni 100%

  • Guest

    I thought Gina played Phyllis very well
    I liked gina on guiding light too
    It is not fair that Gina has to go just because Michelle decides to come back

  • Guest

    Gina. Can’t stand the other Please stop the traci and cane. I will not watch that ridiculous story. It’s like a shrek and Fiona story!!

  • Guest

    I don’t prefer either of these women. The role stinks. It has no where to go. You have a bunch of middle aged women who can’t have babies and all they do is argue, can’t there be some good stuff in there???? Kane’s role is another one that is going nowhere. The story stays too long on a certain subject and it gets boring after awhile. I know it is a soap but I really don’t like this Adam. Not at all.

  • Guest

    i get tired of hearing about Chloe and Delia . Let’s not go on this ride again .

  • Guest

    It’s a tough one. Both good actresses. But Gina definitely had me off my couch tying to go through T.V. to wring her neck. Lol. Will miss her for sure.

  • Guest

    I just hope that Gina left because she wanted to not because now Michelle decided to come back
    Gina did a great job

  • Guest

    I dont agree Gina was better but she certainly has done a good. She actually got annoying toward the end. I hate Tracy and Cane story. So stupid and boring. The new Adam is s huge disappointment. Ive almost come to the point of stop watching afer several years of not missing a show. Bring back Michael Muhney and Billy Miller. Cane needs to go back to Australia. Tracy needs to just support Dina. Send Rey back to Miami. Zero chemistry between Sharon, Rey and Sharon and new Adam. Just yuck to all these story lines. No intrigue!

  • Guest

    Like Michelle and I hated when she left but when I found out that Gina was taking over…I was like hell ya!!! She was a beast on GL and she will always give a Emmy winning performance and she didn’t let us down on Y&R. I’m so use to Gina playing Phyllis, not sure if Michelle can do it justice anymore. Gina rocks

    Michelle Stafford portrayed a more believable Phyllis. Phyllis was a real sad pathetic mess with a splash of goofball. Gina Tognoni was way too dominant and forceful to have done the things that brought the character to the point where Tognoni took over the role. I never liked Tognoni’s portrayal of Phyllis. It just wasn’t believable to me. Welcome back, Michelle Stafford.

  • Guest

    I like Michelle and Gina. Michelle was “Phyllis”, but it was so long ago, I’ve gotten used to Gina.
    I’ll miss her.
    The new Adam is devilish. He looks evil…plays the part well, with his mannerism and sly remarks. Very Victor-ish

  • Guest

    Welcome back Michelle…you have been missed terribly.

  • Guest

    1. Thank you for bringing Michelle Stafford back!! No one can do evil like her Phyllis!!

    2. I’ve been watching Y&R since it debuted and the most ridiculous storyline ever is the Cane/Tracy pairing. Beth Maitland is a great actress and I’m glad to see her with more screen time, but come on, stop with Cane/Tracy vintage vignette and give her something with real meat! She deserves more.

    3. Please, for the love of suspect motives, will someone kill Adam off?

  • Guest

    This SUCKS. I’m trying hard to get used to the new Adam. Dont shove Michelle Stafford ‘Phillis’ down my throat! I concur the Cain story sucks. Ray is awful with Sharon.
