Y&R Spoilers: Phyllis is devastated after Summer’s 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 – will she leave Genoa?

Sharon Returns to Crisis as Phyllis Spirals — Can She Help Save Her?

Sharon Newman returns from a peaceful family vacation in London with Nick, but tranquility is short-lived when she comes back to Genoa City.

Upon her return, she finds Phyllis Summers emotionally unraveling — a far cry from the strong, self-assured woman she once knew. Since the kidnapping ordeal, Phyllis has tried to pick up the pieces, but her struggle has only intensified.

Phyllis’s situation took a serious turn after being fired by Billy Abbott from Chancellor. Despite Daniel Romalotti Jr.’s repeated pleas for her to pause and reflect, her efforts to rebuild have consistently backfired.

Even her attempts to reconnect with her daughter, Summer, have ended in disappointment. With no clear direction and mounting pressure, Phyllis is emotionally fragile and mentally exhausted — teetering on the edge.

Sharon, who has overcome her own share of trauma, recognizes the signs. She understands the depths of emotional turmoil and may be the only person capable of reaching Phyllis before she spirals further

. With her calm presence and compassionate approach, Sharon could become a much-needed anchor, gently urging Phyllis to face the truth: she needs professional help.

While Phyllis is known for her defiance, Sharon’s words — spoken with care and firm conviction — could break through her denial.

“You need professional help” might be the wake-up call Phyllis needs. Sharon knows firsthand that healing is possible, but only if one is willing to face their pain and accept help. Her intervention could become a turning point not just for Phyllis but for their complicated friendship as well.

Meanwhile, across town, tension simmers between Adam and Chelsea as they debate Victor Newman’s influence.

Chelsea suspects that Victor is pulling the strings in the attack on Billy Abbott, but Adam insists the threat lies with Dumas — a shadowy figure tied to Chancellor’s future. Chelsea, unconvinced, challenges Adam to draw a line between loyalty to Victor and doing what’s right.

“I need you to promise me you won’t use Newman Media to tear down Billy,” Chelsea says, demanding clarity. Adam, torn between family expectations and personal integrity, eventually promises he won’t go after Billy — unless provoked.

Their bond strengthens in the moment, but a new challenge looms as Adam suspects a deeper game is being played behind the scenes.

Dumas, Adam warns, isn’t just another corporate player. If he’s in league with Billy, they could be orchestrating something far bigger.

As Chelsea places her trust in Adam, both know that trust is often the only currency that matters in the Newman world.

As Sharon contemplates stepping into Phyllis’s darkness, and Adam prepares for an unknown threat, Genoa City braces for emotional fallout. Can Sharon save Phyllis from herself? And will Adam’s loyalty to Chelsea hold firm as the stakes rise?
