However, Phyllis will hang on and may not die anytime soon. Phyllis is a central character on The Young and the Restless, one of the longest-running American daily soaps on CBS. The soap has been thrilling fans with unexpected twists since its premiere in March 1973.

The setting for the soap's plot is the fictional Genoa City with its powerful resident families. Phyllis Summers is connected to the influential Newman family due to her past marriage with Nick Newman and her feud with another of Nick's ex-wives, Sharon Collins-Newman.

The Young and the Restless: Phyllis's life is at risk

Phyllis Summers had a car accident as the other Genoa City residents were busy attending Abby Newman and Devon Winters' wedding. She was rushing to Sharon Newman's house after she received a message from Sharon's number, asking her to meet.

In the recent past, Phyllis had been suspicious of Sharon's involvement in Heather Stevens' murder. She hounded and attacked Sharon in every way possible to force her to confess her crime. As such, Phyllis was elated that Sharon sent her a message promising to confess her crime.

However, at the time that Phyllis was receiving messages from Sharon's phone, Sharon Newman was searching for her lost phone. She too was headed home to look for the lost device. While the audience was aware that a third party was involved in posting the notes from Sharon's phone, Phyllis had no idea about the manipulation.

As she drove her car, she got distracted by a slew of messages and took her eyes off the road briefly, while another car moved into Phyllis's lane. The next moment she crashed while her vehicle caught fire. Luckily for her, Nick Newman and Chance Chancellor heard the crash and broke the window to get an unconscious Phyllis out.

She was admitted to the hospital and the doctors performed a CT scan. Its report suggested skull damage and brain injury. However, Elena answered Daniel's query by offering to observe the comatose patient. She informed Phyllis's concerned children that there was nothing else to do except wait and keep a watch.

Phyllis is a significant character in The Young and the Restless's storyline. Moreover, her unresolved feud with Sharon is an important draw of the soap. Retaining her in the plot will help keep the Sharon-Daniel arc exciting. As such she is not likely to exit the show soon.

As per The Young and the Restless spoilers, a distraught and disappointed Summer will consider pulling the plug on Phyllis, assuming she would not wake up. However, Elena Dawson will likely stop her from giving up on her mother and instruct her to plug the machine back into the socket.

This may be an indication that Phyllis will not die and continue in the soap's plot. She may wake up and help clear the mystery behind her accident and Heather's murder.

While Sharon was present at the time of the crime, and she disposed of the body, covered her tracks, and planted the evidence on Daniel, there are doubts about whether or not she actually killed Heather. Also, she may not have had a hand in Phyllis's accident since driving on the same road, she had a blackout.
