Fans question where Phyllis is on The Young and the Restless

On The Young and the Restless, fans are wondering where Phyllis is. She has disappeared and didn’t show up for the breakfast she had organized with Daniel and Summer.

Where is Phyllis on The Young and the Restless

On our favorite soap, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) has vanished, and no one, not even her son, Daniel (Michael Graziadei), or daughter, Summer (Allison Lanier), knows where she is. Daniel went from Phyllis hounding him day and night with calls and texts, but all of a sudden, she can't — or won't — return his calls. Fans of The Young and the Restless have some theories why this may be, some of them good, some a little alarming. Dive in and see what the fans are saying on the Soap Central message boards:

User Chocolatelover7 wrote, “I am wondering if Phyllis is a) about to show up in Paris and disrupt Billy and Sally on purpose or b) if she is somehow entangled with the still alive Ian Ward. Any other theories?”

User xoregonian said, “Last we saw she was asleep dreaming about Billy on Valentine's Day. Was that supposed to be yesterday on GC time? Yet she is supposed to have that breakfast with Daniel and Summer tomorrow morning. Did she sit up from her dream, pack her bag and buy a ticket to France in the middle of the night? I sure hope not.”

User Cloverleaf added, “Yeah, if she's done something wacky, it's take a trip to Paris. If not, she's busy at work hiring people and getting things set up for Billy's return. Okay, which one is it? Wacky or normal?”

So where has Phyllis gone? Maybe she’s been AWOL due to having to turn off her phone on a long-haul flight to Paris after all, or Ian Ward (Ray Wise) has resurfaced and taken our dear Phyllis. (Let's not forget what the head writer gave us in a 2025 teaser!). Other than those two theories, not much else makes sense as to why she’s not been in any kind of contact with her children, especially seeing as the events of the past few months were quite traumatic for her family.
