Phyllis calls Daniel a traitor on The Young and the Restless
The mother and son may be on their way to another split.
Will Daniel and Phyllis become estranged again?
When is enough enough? It appears that Daniel Romolatti might be answering this question on Monday on The Young and the Restless. Phylis Summers will turn on her son and call him a traitor which is the pot calling the kettle black.
The redhead has burned bridges and betrayed everyone in her orbit in recent months. She has been drunk with her own power since taking over Newman Enterprises, but expects her son to ignore her devious actions and fall in line.
She is flying around on the Newman jet and is full of herself because she has bested the great Victor Newman. Y&R fans, however, know this will not last. When Victor gets his revenge, it will not be pretty.
Eventually, Phyllis will see her world come crashing down. When she hits the bottom, after Victor and Cane are done with her, there will be no one in her corner because Daniel was the last person making excuses for her.
On Monday, while Daniel is at the Coffee House with Tessa, his mother will show up and attack him. She will say that forgiveness is not an option after what Daniel has done. No matter what she does, Phyllis expects her children to remain loyal, but this time she might have gone too far.
Cane wants Daniel to join him in stopping his mother, so could this be what Phyllis is referring to? Could the duo come up wth a plan to stop her in her tracks? Victor is holding Lily Winters and Cane's children hotage so a lot is at stake, and MS. Summers is being
Phyllis has all of Genoa City in turmoil
There is no fury in Genoa City like Phyllis when she is scorned. The Newmans. Abbots, Cane, and everyone else are against her right now. When she is backed into a corner, big trouble always follows She cholorformed Cane to take total control, and everyone in town is shocked that Billy Abbot is working with her.
Victoria is sending her children to boarding school to punish Billy, so even he might turn on Phyllis before all is said and done. Some Y&R viewers thought this latest stunt would bring Summer Newman back to Genoa City, but she is also angry at her mother because Victor is Summer's grandfather and Nick is her dad.
Victor, Niki, Victoria, Nick, and Cane are all plotting the downfall of the redhead. Others in Genoa City are hoping her time at Newman will quickly come to an end.
Can Daniel and Phyllis reconcile
Daniel eventually forgave and supported his mom after she faked her own death. He stood by her through other schemes, but this might be where he draws the line. Tessa is in distress because of her situation with Mariah, so they both need a shoulder to lean on.
Will Daniel and Tessa become closer because they each are dealing with wild and crazy situations? This might be what leads to their becoming a couple. Will Phyllis find herself all alone when her world falls apart?
Will she cut her son off, or will he push her away? They have always reconciled in the past, but this time might be different. What will it take to stop Phyllis, and will her son play a role in her fall from the top? Would Victor try to entice Daniel to turn on his mother?
Tune in Monday to The Young and the Restless to learn what happens next. Continue tuning in to find out what happens to this mother-and-son relationship in the long term.

Goodbye, Mr. Duvall
It is turning out to be an interesting year. I was in the middle of teaching a class when a pop-up appeared on the screen announcing the death of Mr. Robert Seldon Duvall (yes, that was his full name). I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?

Why a Tiny Troupe Kept Its Kennedy Center Dates
Against a backdrop of mounting financial pressure and uncertainty in the performing arts world, a small touring theater troupe has chosen to keep its scheduled performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, defying expectations that it would cancel its appearances. The decision has drawn attention not only because of the venue’s prestige, but because it reflects a broader struggle facing independent artists navigating rising costs, political sensitivities, and shrinking audiences. The troupe, made up of fewer than a dozen performers and crew members, had quietly debated whether appearing at the nation’s most prominent cultural institution was financially and logistically viable. Travel expenses, accommodation, and production costs nearly exceeded what the group expected to earn from ticket sales. Yet in the end, the performers agreed that walking away would be a greater loss than staying. A Calculated Risk “We knew it might not make sense on paper,” said the troupe’s artistic director in an interview. “But artistically and symbolically, it mattered.” For the group, the Kennedy Center represented more than a paycheck. It offered visibility, legitimacy, and the chance to reach audiences that would otherwise never encounter their work. Several members said they worried that canceling would damage future opportunities and send a message of retreat at a time when small arts organizations already feel sidelined. The troupe’s performance dates had been booked months in advance, before rising inflation and uncertainty over arts funding reshaped touring budgets. By the time the show approached, the group faced a difficult choice: absorb the losses or withdraw entirely. Pressure from Multiple Directions The decision unfolded amid broader tensions surrounding programming at national cultural institutions. Some artists have canceled appearances at high-profile venues over political concerns or disagreements with donors and sponsors. Others fear that performing in such spaces risks criticism from audiences who see large institutions as disconnected from grassroots culture. Members of the troupe acknowledged these debates but said their choice was rooted in practicality rather than protest. “We didn’t want to turn this into a political statement,” one performer said. “We just wanted to perform.” Behind the scenes, the group pared back technical requirements, simplified sets, and relied on volunteer help from local supporters to reduce expenses. Friends in the theater community offered couches to sleep on and meals to stretch the troupe’s limited funds. The Value of Being Seen For many small companies, appearing at the Kennedy Center is considered a career milestone. Even a short run can open doors to grants, residencies, and future tours. Cultural economists note that prestige venues act as amplifiers: they provide recognition that cannot easily be replicated through regional shows or online exposure. “Visibility at a place like this can redefine a troupe’s trajectory,” said an arts policy analyst. “The risk is real, but so is the reward.” Audience turnout for the troupe’s opening night was modest but enthusiastic. Several attendees said they came specifically to support independent artists who were brave enough to take the stage despite financial uncertainty. A Statement Through Persistence While the troupe avoided framing its decision as political, the act of showing up carried symbolic weight. In a time when many productions are postponed or scaled back, their presence was interpreted by some as a quiet declaration that small-scale art still belongs on the biggest stages. Critics who reviewed the performance highlighted its rawness and intimacy, qualities that contrasted sharply with the large halls and formal atmosphere of the venue. One reviewer described the show as “proof that ambition does not depend on size.” Looking Ahead The troupe will leave Washington with little profit, but with renewed confidence and broader recognition. Members say the experience reinforced their belief that survival in the arts now depends on resilience and adaptability rather than financial security alone. “We didn’t come here expecting to win,” the artistic director reflected. “We came because we believe the work deserves to be seen.” Their decision to keep the Kennedy Center dates underscores a reality facing many small arts groups: even when the numbers don’t add up, the opportunity to perform on a national stage can outweigh the risks. In an uncertain cultural landscape, persistence itself becomes a form of expression.
