Spoiler alerts for "The Young and the Restless" tease that Michelle Stafford's return to the character she originated will be epic. While it is unfortunate that Gina Tognoni ended up as collateral damage, the show must go on. Phyllis was just crushed by the betrayal of Kerry/Dominique, and her ouster as CEO of Jabot. Billy, Jack, and Kyle kicked her while she was down, and the cover-up crew has deemed her a traitor. She has nowhere to go from this point but up, and rumors are that she will rise from the ashes in a big way. Ms. Summers will emerge from this setback new and improved, bold, beautiful and a fierce power to be reckoned with.

Michelle Stafford rises to the occasion

Last week the fiery redhead told Jack she wanted to work with Lauren at Fenmores. She tried to convince her ex-husband to allow her good friend to walk away from Jabot, but he refused.
