The drama unfolding in Genoa City has viewers taking sides between the cunning Phyllis and the ruthless Victor. Their latest clash has fans debating who deserves to emerge victorious.
Young and Restless fans on who should win the Phyllis vs. Victor battle
The Phyllis Summers vs. Victor Newman drama reaches a fever pitch on The Young and the Restless. The battle of wits between the two seasoned players has left viewers taking sides, with passionate arguments on both fronts.
The case against Victor is built on his hypocrisy and questionable decisions. He had no issue using Cane’s AI against him, but flipped out when he became the target. Instead of using his business acumen to reclaim what he lost, Victor resorted to faking a kidnapping involving Cane’s ex-wife and children.
Furthermore, Victor’s treatment of women is disturbing, particularly his view of Patty as a mere pawn. He funded her surgeries to manipulate Jack, and later exploited her addiction for his own gain. He even set her up on the yacht with booze and drugs, clearly not caring about the consequences for her or anyone else involved.
Meanwhile, Phyllis’ ascent to business prominence has also been marked by questionable ethics, with her involvement in the Cane AI scandal being a prime example. Her actions against Victor might be seen as payback, but they’re still questionable. But what is striking is how differently Phyllis and Victor are treated by their families. Victor gets support from Victoria and Claire, while Phyllis is ostracized by her kids.
However, where Phyllis is concerned, there’s one consideration. Her actions, though ruthless, were largely contained within the business realm. Unlike Victor, she didn’t escalate to personal attacks or put innocent lives at risk.
Viewers eager to find out whether Phyllis’s calculated moves or Victor’s ruthless tactics will prevail can catch The Young and the Restless weekdays on CBS at 12:30 PM ET (11:30 AM PT).
