The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Thursday, January 26, tease that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will hope to butter someone up, so that may be Daniel Romalotti Jr (Michael Graziadei).
Since Daniel has a contract with Chancellor-Winters and wants to be understanding of Lily Winters’ (Christel Khalil) situation, he’s not as convinced about shopping his gaming project around.
However, Phyllis is smart to be looking into a backup plan since the merger mess has the gaming venture in limbo.
Of course, there could be concerns about the options that are on the table.
Phyllis left Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) a voicemail, so he’s another possibility when it comes to who she’ll try buttering up.
If Phyllis makes a real pitch to Newman Media, she might hope flattery will get her everywhere.
Unfortunately, the Newmans aren’t exactly trustworthy – and Nate isn’t either after the way he tried to betray Lily and Devon Hamilton (Bryton James).
Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John) also pushed Phyllis to put their issues aside and let him get involved in Daniel’s gaming project.
That’d mean taking a huge gamble, but it might be worth it if the payoff is great enough.
Regardless, Phyllis and Daniel will have another argument about the future of his venture, so we’ll see who’s stubborn enough to come out on top.
Other Y&R spoilers say Tucker will go too far, so that could involve a sneaky move regarding the gaming project or perhaps something more sinister.
Tucker threatened to go after Newman Enterprises and will have another confrontation with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) soon, so he could make a move against her.
In the meantime, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Summer Newman-Abbott (Allison Lanier) will make a disturbing discovery in the Abbott family living room.
Once Summer and Kyle come downstairs to find Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), they’ll immediately realize the vibe’s different.
The spark will practically be radiating out of Jack and Diane, so Summer’s intuition will tell her things have taken a sizzling turn.
Kyle will be in denial for a moment as he determines Diane spent the night again and wonders why.
Although Kyle will worry Jeremy Stark (James Hyde) is still a threat, Jack will promise Jeremy has been taken care of.
Once Jack admits he’s romantically involved with Diane, that news will be hard for Kyle to wrap his head around.
Diane will sense that Kyle’s concerned, so she’ll point out she never meant for this to happen.
The goal was simply to reconnect with Kyle, but Diane will praise Jack’s forgiving heart since she let him back in, too.
After Kyle and Summer escape the conversation quickly, Diane will fret to Jack about their son’s reaction.
Jack may insist Kyle just needs a chance to process and urge Diane to have faith that it’ll all work out in the end.
Unfortunately, Diane and Jack’s steamy development may become another source of conflict for Summer and Kyle.
Although Kyle will agree with Summer about this being a bad idea, that doesn’t mean he’ll be willing to turn his back on Diane or withdraw his support.
Even so, part of Kyle will fear that Diane and Jack’s romance is a ticking time bomb.
There’ll be some worries about Kyle’s parents hating each other if it all blows up.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Kyle will get updates on Jack and Diane falling hard for each other, so he’ll have a lot to think about!
