“Phyllis hates Adam the way kids hate vegetables,” says Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms, who happens to be our go-to guy for sudsy scoop. “What’s funny is that she doesn’t know even half the things that he’s done. For example, she is clueless about the fact that he stole Sharon’s baby and gave it to Ashley. Ironically, that baby happens to have been fathered by Phyllis’ husband, Nick. So if Phyllis winds up exposing the truth, she could accidentally push Nick right back into the arms of his ex-wife. And if there’s one person Phyllis hates more than Adam, it’s probably Sharon!”
Just to complicate matters even more — it is a soap, after all — is the fact that Nick has been publicly feuding with half-brother Adam, but privately working with him (and their shared dad, Victor) to bring down Tucker McCall! So as much as Nick loathes his brother, now is the worst time possible for Phyllis to go rocking the boat where Adam is concerned!
“Events are set in motion this week that will change everything,” says Simms. “One wrong move on anyone’s part, and the whole house of cards could come crumbling down. Phyllis could bring about the end of her own marriage if she’s not careful. And if she pushes Adam out of the picture, what’s to prevent Nick from running back to his ex-wife, Sharon? Heaven knows, when Sharon gets a splinter, Nick rushes over with a pair of tweezers!”
