THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Will Phyllis and Billy's Revenge Plan On Victor Destroy Their Relationships & Ultimately Lead Them To Each Other?
Courtesy/CBS
This past week on The Young and the Restless viewers learned that Adam’s kidnapper (Justin Hartley) was a woman, and that Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) has enlisted “hacker” Natalie (Mara McCaffrey) against her will to help deliver a bogus internet security program to Newman Enterprises. Seems Phyllis is hell-bent on destroying Victor (Eric Braeden) in her revenge plot for nearly ruining her life with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) by substituing her hubby with his doppelganger … Peruvian drug lord, Marco!
Phyllis’ plot had now dragged in Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), who is now recovered from his life threatening injuries sustained when Noah’s (Robert Adamson) car backed up into him while he lay on the ground beaten by his gambling bookie’s thug! Billy agreed to be complicit in Phyllis’ plan since his busness deal was stolen right from under him by Victor while he was down and out.
Billy also knows about Natalie’s part in their Victor takedown plan. However, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) has now been put in charge by Victor of watching over Natalie, and the security program she is developing for Newman. This squarely puts Victoria and Billy at odds in the workplace, and if and when the secret comes out that Billy is in cahoots with Phyllis to double cross Victoria’s father, it can’t be good for their relationship.
Meanwhile, Jack has asked Billy to return to Jabot, and to work with him and Phyllis. Jack wants to make the company greater than it ever was while putting all differences aside. But, will the residents of Genoa City, and the police cast doubt on Phyllis as the woman possibly behind Adam’s kidnapping? If Jack and Victoria were to find out that that Phyllis and Billy hatched a plot without their knowledge, could it spell curtains for both their relationships?
Before Burgess Jenkins last aired as Billy right before the character’s accident, it seemed that Phyllis and Billy were spending much more time together than previously. Add to that the change of actor with Jason Thompson in the mix to play opposite Gina Tognoni and it leads to this … could Phyllis and Billy be a possible romantic pairing?
Share your thoughts: What do you think of the plan to bring down Victor? Do you hope that Victoria and Billy weather any storm as do Phyllis and Jack? Would you be into seeing how a Phyllis and Billy romantic relationship would play on screen? Let us know, but first watch a promo from CBS Daytime for this week’s action on Y&R below, where it seems Billy is remembering that Noah was in the parking garage the night he was run over!

B&B’s Matthew Atkinson On Gaining Custody of Douglas: “Thomas Just Wants to Take His Rightful Place”
On The Bold and the Beautiful, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) wants to be more of an active father to his son, Douglas (Django Ferri), who has been living with Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton).
When confronted with this news, Hope is not too happy, because she could lose being mother to the little boy, who she has come to love as her own.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest (on newsstands now), Atkinson shared on the story: “Thomas just wants to take his rightful place. He’s not saying they are no longer a family. It’s just the opposite. He’s not prying Douglas away from Hope. He knows Douglas has bonded with Hope, Liam and Beth, and he believes they can all make it work.”
The question is, will Thomas resort to extreme measures as he has in the past to get what he wants, or will he work this out with Hope and Liam?
Check out the latest promo for this week’s action on B&B below.
Now let us know, do you want Thomas to have more of a relationship with his son, Douglas? Should the boy live between all three ‘parents’? Should Douglas fight for solo custody? Comment below.

Sure does look like that us where it’s heading…I am in for the ride..poor Jack and Victoria!
I just pray Sharon will be happy because she has gone through so much. Sharon is my favorite character. Sharon Case should of been nominated for lead actress and win win win 🙂
Not yet, Daniele. Unfortunately, I don’t think TPTB are done with Sharon. As I said a few days ago, Anderson has been ‘feeding’ Sharon a placebo. We will see the ‘craziness ‘ come out again. I don’t quite understand why? Poor Sharon, enough already, right? Wait until the truth about Sully comes out. Sharon will be done for!!
No pity for Jack whatsoever. He has spun enough webs in his lifetime. Many of which really hurt people…namely, his wife, Patty Williams. It is about time spirited; can’t-hold-me-down Phyllis emerged. By the same token, with the new face of Billy ( Jason T) comes the rebirth of a true Abbott, re-invented; innovative Billy. There was no way that Jason Thompson as Billy, was going to be driftwood amidst the sea of intrigue that is Victor and the Abbotts, themselves…..been in the background for way too long. He needed to develop a backbone since Jenkins sacrificed everything good, which Billy… Read more »
Hey, CeeCee…the first sentence in your post SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!! Also, whatever respect I had for the character of Jack Abbott quickly F-L-E-W out the window FOREVER when he coldly screwed over poor Kelly Andrews. And, as far as I’m concerned, poor Kelly died of a broken heart. Beyond sad.
Later.
Is it just me, or are Billy and Phyllis PINING over each other? Egads!! Please, an emphatic NO!!!!!
No thanks.
I have zero desire to watch them destroy two legacy pairings for a sleazy affair.
I feel the same. And really? Billy is going to trash his
new relationship with Victoria and his kids 5 minutes after
making promises to her yet again? Not even up and around
yet, and he is teaming up with stupid Phyllis…ridiculously crazy.
And if Billy and Phyllis take it a step further to have affairs…
super crazy.
LOL at “legacy” pairings. The most legacy pairing on this show is Nikki and Victor and they have cheated on each other 1000 times over again (and are more popular than overrated Villy or Phack will ever be).
Stop. I hate couple stans, it’s annoying. It’s a soap opera. People cheat, it happens. As long as the story is well written and character driven I am fine with it. And not to worry it will probably be a brief affair and then Villy will reunite to bore the bejesus out of us all once again
Where have you been??
“Y & R” hasn’t been well-written or character-driven since Pratt took over as Head Writer!!
Back years ago when Stafford and Miller were playing the roles someone made the comment they would be cute together. Someone reminded us that according to history, Billy was born the same year Phyllis came to GC. They said and I cannot remember if this was figuratively or literally but she changed his diapers. Phyllis is a stretch putting her with the members of the Jabot kids. She belongs with Jack. Besides that they need to build up the relationships with this recast before they bring on the angst. I think they can do just as much damage as friends… Read more »
I’m out. I’m tired of Victoria losing her pairings. She deserves love too. Nice to be told they’re done and won’t be a family again. Thanks Michael.
One can only hope we’ll get a break from the boring and incessant Villy merry go round. We sat through it with DT and BUJ. I sure hope JT gets something else to play other than the same tedious, nauseating and wash, rinse, repeat with Villy (which is Billy messes up, Victoria gets mad and nags, Victoria kisses Victor’s butt all day long, Billy asks her back, she forgives him, they get back together then Billy messes up again and Victoria nags again, Victoria’s stuck up Victor’s butt again, blah blah blah)
i’m loving this story. It looks like Phyllis and Billy will happen. i hope Victor finally loses for once,it’s not very good television seeing him win all the time
I agree Robert but I think Victor loses when Chelsea starts turning to Nick for support. It’s already happening little by little and once she leaves Adam for Nick that will leave Sage free for Adam and Victor wont have anything to hold over Adam’s head anymore.
I don’t like cheating, in general. But, as viv says, it’s a soap. Thst’s what they do. I am just glad Phyllis gets the chance to be with someone her own age and stick it to Jack, who is, ironically and wrongly, always projected as the stud. Yuck. He’s old enough to be Phyllis’s father. Gina is so miscast ( age-wise). Let’s not forget that Daniel is in hid mid-thirties. To me, Victor snd Jack are no different. I am trying to think when Jack suddenly became this upstanding human being. He was always at odds with his father because… Read more »
Victoria can go back to Stitch and Abby can hook up with TImmm! You know, it just hit me, Stitch is to Y&R what Sabrina is to GH, a relationship killer!
@Timmm.
I wouldn’t wish cantaloupe head on anyone…..that stubble really gets to me. Either grow a beard or shave. That thing’s ‘gotta’ hurt any woman with whom he gets comfy.
Awwww, my poor, poor, Timmmbo!! You really have it bad for Abby. Good Luck!! Luv-ya!
I just hope Billy can finally put a SMILE on Phyllis’s face.
the noah angle of the story never made sense to me because it came out of nowhere but i
i m hoping it comes up when billy and phyllis use that knowledge to blackmail victor in getting the internet deal!
You are so right, damien. It was an accident, that no one could have avoided, unless one circled his car. What was the purpose of hiding that fact? It’s not as if Noah had this bad reputation of doing something criminal.
I am beginning to think as you, damien ….that is; this is something for someone, Billy, Phyllis…anyone of Victor’s adversaries could hold over the mighty oak’s head! Good call, d.
You called it, damien. The blackmailing didn’t come from Billy etc, but, from Luca. The point is, we now know the reason …..you were right, ….blackmail. Boy, Victor/Adam are in a pickle. One demon playing off another? What can possibly happen? Combustion!!
I can’t wait to see Phyllis and Billy get closer, and closer, become more and more attracted to one another, kiss, then inevitably have sex. I hope it’s a long, passionate affair. Peter Bergman, Gina Tognoni, and Jason Thompaon are gonna kill this.
this is not on you so… “many” say this… like a complete disregard, for the character… and actress… Amelia Heinle; Victoria…. wouldn’t have traversed this far… without Heather Tom ? to obliterate one of the best love stories…. as I’ve already posted… out of GH… offspring of veteran core character ? supercouple as it were Patrick and Robin… now ; Billy and Victoria absolutely they exist… on so many levels… layers.. echelon… feature.. beam… and spotlight we may not have any scenes to “judge” them yet but .. I certainly do not see any reason to not feature these two… Read more »
Amelia took over the role of Victoria from Heather with ease and finesse. I never felt any repercussions from the transitional takeover. I actually came to think that Amelia did Victoria proud. She is loving, true and honest….and, of course, with just the right amount of being Victor Newman’s daughter. We have seen her sway back and forth…struggling internally when her father proposed shady or impossible tasks for her to follow through. But, bottom line, Victoria always kept her integrity. There have been moments where I held Victoria in contempt for caving into her father’s deceitful way of thinking; but,… Read more »
Peter/Jack should retire his boxers. I will never understand why these older actors are put in such ‘triangles’, with much younger men and women. Jack did not drink from the fountain of youth….he looks his age…I am stating a fact. I always thought Jack was a better match for Nikki. Have at it, PTB.
One of these things doesn’t belong here….JACK!! He sticks out like a sore thumb because he is too old to compete….different generation altogether. He is decades older. As much as I do not want it to happen, Anne; I think there is a good chance, what you want to happen will happen. I think it’s wrong to do this to Victoria…..she has forgiven his wandering eye so many times before, among his other vices. So, in a way, if it does happen, it may very well be a blessing in disguise: To forget him and move on for good. Billy… Read more »
Although cheating is par for the course on soaps, I do wish they would stop making it a family affair—Y&R isn’t as bad as B&B for these near incest like pairings, but they are a close second. I get the double betrayal angle is hard to resist — but there is something so sleazy about it, remember Abby sleeping with Summer’s husband. It will be hard for me to get behind a Phyllis and Billy pairing when I know how much they would be hurting Jack in the process. I would more okay with this only if Jack and Phyllis… Read more »
Not a good way for Jason Thompson to start his ‘new life’, is it, Mary? In more ways than one.
Thats the issue, Billy would be hurting Jack AND I thought he was happy to have this 100th chance to return to Vic and live with his kids? I know his excuse will be he was only trying to rebuild Jabot but its a lame one. Like you said though, its a soap and thats what happens on a soap! I will be mad because I think Jason and Amelia have chemistry and I want to see them fall back in love-for awhile!
I think the writers going that way, it so predictable and boring. Jason thompson has chemistry with everyone but with Amelia Heinle they are sizzling and smoking hot and cute family.
I don’t like phyllis from the start. I love victoria and Billy together kudos to Amelia and Jason for capturing the magic so fast
Hi, tina.
I loved Michelle’s Phyllis. I just don’t like Gina’s representation of her. She seems to be moving in the right direction, showing some spark, but I will need to see the fire. Will she deliver?
I far prefer Billy and Victoria but I see where this story is going. I wish they would have actually let Victoria and Billy be happy for a good long while before they destroyed them again but alas….
That said, I”m hopeful Victoria and Billy will at least be over before they do this story. It does a lot of longterm damage to a couple that has been through nothing but turmoil for the last three years.
I do not want Billy and Victoria together..
ALL the Billys have Victoria’s lap dogs and Victors punching bags..
Whichever Billy, Victoria has always had controll over them and all the Billy’s have jumped through hoops to please Victoria..
This time around I do not want new Billy, JT Billy under Victoria’s thumb, her lap dog..
FREE BILLY !!!
Well put my feelings exactly.
su0000…OH, I AGREE!!!!! At this point, Victoria SICKENS me!!!!! Oh…and BTW…the last two words in your post SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!!! Thank You.
Peace.
I disagree, Su!
No way has Billy jumped through hoops.
If anything, Victoria has had to consistently
jump through a different kind of hoop to just
simply try to have her hubby act decently without
gambling, cheating, lying, etc. So if he would just
grow up a bit he wouldnt have to constantly apologize.
Right on, Nanci. Victoria grew up; Billy stayed behind, making it a constant struggle for Victoria to adjust her life to his, when it should have been the other any around. I was hoping that Jason would bring maturity to the character. I won’t give up yet. I honestly don’t care about Phyllis’ and Jack’s marriage. But, I do care about Billy and Victoria. It would seem that the writers will be ending a relationship between Billy and Victoria before it even starts. Very disappointing. I think Phyllis should have chased Victor’s pants to bed, if she wanted to give… Read more »
AWww, su….but Victoria loves Billy. I feel badly for her. She has forgiven him so many times, and she is good for him, even though she’s a domineering Newman. Lol. I think that this thing with Phyllis ( Gina is not cutting it as Phyllis, in my opinion) and Billy will happen. I have seen it coming down the Pike for weeks, now….but, in the end, they will both regret it. I doubt Victoria will ever take Billy back. I just want Jack to get the shock of his life and realize he’s not 30, 40 or 50 anymore. He… Read more »
Its about time RED shows up since Gina took over for Michelle! I’ve been waiting for this. What Victor did to her was basically set her up to be rapped! I’m glad she has some balls as opposed to Jacky! I love Peter but he could have stuck it to Victor and he wimped out! I also love Jason as Billy and I was hoping this darker Billy would be written to best Victor. The only thing I dont want is for RED and Billy to hook up. I just want them to get revenge on Victor and stay with… Read more »
I agree with most of what you wrote. I want Phyllis and Billy to stick it to Victor (finally!) and I hate that Jack wimped out. It was very uncharacteristic of him not to go full throttle revenge against Victor. I also do not want an affair between them. I don’t much care for Billy and Victoria (mostly because I cannot stand “daddy’s girl”) but I love Phyllis and Jack and I do not want Jack to get hurt. Plus we’ve already done the “Billy cheats with Jack’s woman” story when Billy cheated with Sharon. Been there, done that, do… Read more »
I know Marisa walked past Victor at the fashion show and didnt say ONE word!
Yeah, Timmm. I agree, as I said a few days ago. But, I am ready to be disappointed. Gina Tognoni is not Phyllis….all wrong!! She is just going through the motions, as far as I’m concerned. Gina fascinated me as Kelly Kramer, but as Phyllis? Nah….something is missing. How about that mischievous sparkle in her eye? Not there. Phyllis in pensive mode does not become her. I am not buying it. I applaud her effort. The door is wide open. Enter. Let’s see what happens. I will grant her that. Bye, love.
I agree Cee, its like your not even aloud to say this out loud but Gina is horrible. NOT a horrible actress but horrible at being Phyllis! She has NO chemistry with anyone she is acting with. And I’m not even saying no one can be Phyllis BUT Michelle. No, I just think they casted the wrong actress. Speaking of Michelle, she is looking like ONE million bucks on GH these days. Could it be her products? Cee ya Cee!
“Allowed!”
CeeCee,
That is it exactly…the word “pensive”!
Phyllis just always looks that way, and it bugs me.
I had started to sorta like Gina in the role, but not
so much anymore…just something is missing as you said.
Looking forward to Gina Tognoni shedding the shackles and letting HER version of Phyllis fly and, if that includes Jason Thompson then I am all for it.
I think, sadly, Villy was set to sea a long time ago (back when he cheated on Victoria with Kelly #1). It should never have gone there and it ruined them.
I don’t know about anyone else but I get sick of everyone always plotting to get revenge on Victor and they always fail. I would love to see somebody really get him just once and I don’t know why Billy is taking that daddy’s girl back. He knows as soon as she finds out what he’s up to she is going to give him his walking papers again, because how dare he hurt daddy. He needs to tell her to go with her daddy and make a new life for himself.
Son sleeps with Fathers wife, Mother wants daughters husband, now Brother sleeps with Brothers wife. Can we get a better writer in the room quick.
It won’t make a dent, Mike. It’s been going on since day one. It won’t change now. The first time I remember was when Nikki slept with her son-in-law. Soooo…..
I hope I was imagining things while watching the “Second Chances” teaser. I hope that brainless, spineless Cane is not crawling back to his abusive wife. That fool needs to see Dr. Anderson.
Hey, Llanviewer717…your post made me LMAO!!!!! GOOD ONE!!!!!
A lot of big players in this story and i’m digging it. Kudos to Chuck Pratt and his team.
Christina; Tina; lisa; – plus – I am a Victoria and Billy’ fan… when these two found each other… LOL whodathunk a Newman and an Abbott would conjoin… believe in each other… all hell break loose…. all the rest be damned ! this was a wedded bliss and pairing that; for all it’s REEL… took us away from the dagnabit Newman-Abbot feud as it were… and these two escalated without and loved…. “LOVED” each other it was an unrequited love… a young foundling… burgeoning of new character… and.. let’s say it was within a bubble… and the Newman – Abbott… Read more »
Wow! What a fun read. Thank you.
To the writers, give viewers time to meet this new Billy. Try as hard as you might to be somewhat true to your characters.
I just had a thought..
you wanna know my thought? sure you do!
ok–
If Chuck Pratt jr and Ron Carlivati were a team; WOW GH would have been total WOW!
Gina Tognoni’s Phyllis isn’t cutting it for me. Michelle Stafford’s Phyllis was a force of nature who went from zero to witch in seconds but always had a sense of humor and a playfulness even when she was scheming. The new Phyllis is just mean and humorless and constantly mad about something.
This recast needed someone like Marcy Walker who could play the bad girl you still rooted for in spite of herself.
this isn’t too much of a dig…. but
I don’t know… if I’ve seen Gina Tognoni’ Phyllis
laugh, smile, giggle… laugh out loud
if Jason Thompson acting…. with and by GT side… escalates her performance…. I’m ALL for this
just keep Billy radar close to his heart strings… all the elements that Jason Thompson WINS at
everything
I’ve said this about so many actresses’
but… you are absolutely right
Marcy Walker personified more than most
gawd ! HOW I love her talent… from AMC to Santa Barbara to Guiding Light
reigned
She has RBF, Patrick. The same goes for Sam (GH). Lol.
I tend to agree with you but I do like that she is finally showing SOME fire and going after Victor!
Natalie will be a Newman, Nicks daughter from pool party. Duplicitous baby switching doctor is either the girl at pool party or her sister.
Good one, Tomas. I looove your premise. We assumed Dr. Anderson is the girl at pool party…ergo, her revenge. She was paralized, but apparently recovered. Could Natalie be Anderson’s daughter with Nick, as you suggest.? Wow…I hope they read your post. What a revelation that would be. Knock everyone’s socks off.
Hey, CeeCee…that WHACK-JOB Dr. Anderson and that Natalie chick as mother and daughter??? You know what…that N-E-V-E-R would have occurred to me!!!!! CeeCee, my dear, more and more, you have such a good SOAP EYE…you certainly know how to spot stuff!!!!! Yep.
Later.
@jaybird. Hey, there, Jay. I can’t take the credit for that, Jay…it was Tomas’s brilliant deduction. I just embellished it a bit. We are more than sure that Anderson is the girl that was hurt during one of Nick’s wild parties as the spoiled brat, Newman teen. I think she’s recovered from her paralysis and came to get revenge on Nick; or she just plainly wants him. The mystery is, did he have sex with her back then? …some things do not add up. Tomas also thinks that Anderson could possibly be the hurt girl’s sister, also come to get… Read more »
That’s exactly what I thought, Thomas. What is awesome is that I figured it out when I saw Natalie standing next to Victoria and thought they looked a lot alike. Good casting in my opinion!!!
Friday’ EP: for Y&R… was the best Friday cliffhanger I’ve seen in a LONG time Jack : “Ashley turned me down, so did Abby; if billy adds his no to the list…. it’s going to be just me i’m not sure I have the heart to pull it off…I’m not sure what jabot is without family” Phyllis: “you are not alone, you are my husband. I sign my checks Phyllis Abbott. I’m not going anywhere” at the end of the ep; Billy is in…. w/ Jack and Phyllis. Abby is back, working at Jabot. the “drama” is building with Dr.… Read more »
NuVilly have zero chemistry.Sorry but its true!
Burgess Jenkins is the Billy I see when another character mentions Billy. Unfortunately, this Billy has no chemistry with the others, especially Victoria. He looks nothing like an Abbott. Bad recasting. They should have cast the new actor to play a detective or Luca’s father or older brother.
Burgess was not on long enough to own the role. That’s Billy a Miller who honed and molded the character. Jenkins??
I cannot believe that the focus of Sage’s “issues”, is now her therapist. It would never happen !!!!! This is such a conflict of interest, there is no way that this storyline isn’t a joke !!! Let’s get realistic writers back to Y & R . Stop treating the viewers like idiots !!
It’s all pretend, Patty. It is an excuse for Sage to snoop around in doc’s office. She found the book on COPING WITH PARALYSIS. This tells me, Anderson beat the odds.
Nick and Sage are working together and have devised/designed this scheme to get to the truth.
With all due respect, I think you must have missed a couple of episodes. Later.
CeeCee, is it just me, or does everyone know exactly where this storyline is going?
@Ashleigh. Yup. You got it, Ash. Unless TPTB have suddenly developed an extra brain full of innovative, original storylines, this story is an open book. Pardon the pun.
