Here’s why Y&R star Michelle Stafford appreciates Phyllis and Sharon’s kidnapping story
Speaking with TV Insider, Michelle got real about the special episode, admitting the writers had to find a way to somewhat repair the damage done between the two women.
“I appreciate the story because there was nowhere for Phyllis and Sharon to go; it was the apex of their discord. Something had to happen from that. There’s no way Phyllis is ever going to say, ‘Oh, it’s OK that you hid the bloody towels. I’m over it’” Michelle expressed to the outlet.
The actress added that Sharon would never be satisfied with Phyllis never forgiving her for what she did to Heather (Vail Bloom) and Daniel (Michael Graziadei). After all, Sharon wasn’t in her right mind during that time.
“No way that Sharon is going to be OK with not being forgiven and just moving on. When they see each other, it would be difficult. So, I think this story that we’re doing really fixes that,” she told the outlet.
Spoilers for The Young and the Restless reveal the two women fight for their lives, and one person ready to see it play out is Michelle.
