The Young and the Restless has been exploring the aftermath of the murder of Heather Stevens, and the residents of Genoa City are on edge waiting for the outcome. After Daniel Romalotti's arrest under suspicion, the case seems to be heading towards a trial.

Daniel's mother Phyllis Summers is an active part of this storyline. Desperate to prove her son's innocence, she has even paired up with her former nemesis Christine to defend Daniel. At the center of Phyllis' suspicions and blame is another one of her old rivals, Sharon Newman.

Many fans of the soap have supported Phyllis' investigation and confrontation of Sharon, wanting the storyline to move ahead and for Sharon to face consequences:

What is the rivalry between Phyllis and Sharon on The Young and the Restless?

As per the soap's plot, Phyllis Summers is convinced that her all-time rival Sharon Newman has something to do with the death of Daniel's partner Heather Stevens. Phyllis and Sharon recently had a confrontation at Crimson Lights, where she asked Sharon to reveal the truth, even in the face of Sharon's denial. After Daniel's arrest and subsequent bail, Phyllis has remained convinced that Sharon is hiding something.

This might also be because of Phyllis and Sharon's pre-existing rivalries. Fans of the soap might remember how the two of them dueled fiercely for the affections of Nick Newman. Their love triangle became an iconic plot point in the show and has continued into their personal rivalry even today.

After Heather's funeral, Phyllis also had a conversation about Sharon with her daughter and Daniel's sister Summer. She told her daughter that she was sure Sharon would come out and confess to Heather's murder. Even though Summer seemed skeptical of this, Phyllis hopes to nail Sharon down in the days to come.

It is also likely that Daniel might try to help his mother in her crusade. After his arrest and Christine's hurried bail for him, Daniel promised to bring justice to Heather's memory, making him an important part of this investigation against Sharon too. It remains to be seen whether Phyllis will force Sharon to snap and admit her role in the murder.
