Young and the Restless (YR) Rumor: Avery Returns To Genoa City – Phyllis’ Sister Back

It’s been awhile since Avery Bailey Clark (Jessica Collins), Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) sister, was in Genoa City on ‘The Young and the Restless’. But a social media post Collins recently offered, about reprising a favorite role, appears to indicate that she’s returning to Y&R.

Avery left town in 2015, under pained circumstances. She’d wrongly accused her former husband, Joe Clark (Scott Elrod), of a committing a vicious crime against her. Realization of the truth later caused Avery to question her work as an attorney. So she left Wisconsin and hasn’t been seen since.

As hardcore Y&R fans recall, Avery’s backstory includes her having become involved with Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton) while married to Joe. That took place before fans knew the characters existed.

Avery’s romantic connection to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) was also a significant part of the later part of this character’s storyline. With Nick currently being single, this pairing would seem prime for revival.

If, as speculation suggests, Collins is rejoining the cast, Y&R would continue its pattern of offering familiar characters to its audience. Behind the scenes changes at the show, dating back to last year, have been geared to restoring the look and feel of this classic steamer in order to provide maximum appeal for all viewers.

Stafford’s unexpected return to the cast provides another opportunity for her to work with Collins, if she’s returning. Gina Tognoni (Phyllis) portrayed Avery’s sister during the latter period of Collins’ run on the show. But Stafford was there when Collins first joined the cast in 2011.

Nick’s current circumstances, relating to his custody battle with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), have already been lawyered, via Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc). But a reconnect with Avery would surely enable the type of personal support he needs. Then again, maybe Nick taps a legal tag team as he fights his brother for control of Adam’s biological son.

Young And The Restless Alum Jessica Collins Teases Return

Collins recent work, outside of this projected Y&R role reprisal, includes television appearances on 9-1-1, where she portrayed Christina Gallagher, and on Grey’s Anatomy, where she portrayed Denise, a character who didn’t have a last name.

The actor also appears in Dolly Parton’s new anthology series on Netflix. Collins plays Monica on Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings. This series builds off two movies that Parton produced for broadcast network television, which were based on her songs. Y&R fans know that Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith Newman) appears in both of Parton’s TV movies, where she played a young Dolly Parton.
