Recent CBS' The Young and The Restless spoilers suggest that the culprit behind Phyllis' car crash was not Sharon Newman. Michael, whose gut feeling told him that Sharon did not have anything to do with the crash, insisted on his point of view. The events unfolded as Sharon's phone went missing right before Phyllis' car crash and during that time, Phyllis had received text messages from Sharon's phone number claiming that she wanted to confess something to her and wanted to meet Phyllis to do so. While Phyllis was driving and received those texts, she got momentarily distracted which caused her accident.

CBS' The Young and The Restless first aired on March 26, 1973, and the story is centered around Genoa City, Wisconsin. The most prominent storyline has been that between the Newman family and the Abbott family, who are perpetually engaged in rivalry. It is the most-watched daytime soap in America. The central themes of the show revolve around love triangles, business ventures, power and ambitions of the families involved.


Michael's involvement in the Sharon and Phyllis case on The Young and The Restless

On The Young and The Restless, Sharon was shown to herself be on the road while Phyllis' car crash happened, which caused fans to believe that someone else was behind the orchestration of the event. Michael, whose sharp gut instincts have seldom been shown to be wrong on the show, was sure of the fact that Sharon was innocent. His opinion raised the possibility that someone else had been behind the crash.

Chance Chancellor and Michael Baldwin have been investigating the case as to how the events occurred. Both have been trying to piece the clues together but to no avail so far. Sharon's car's tyre tracks did not match with the ones at Phyllis' crash scene, which ruled her out as a suspect.

Michael has been shown to also suggest the possible case of drug tampering with Sharon's medication. Sharon had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and struggled with mental health issues and was on medication for the same. Her recent changed behavior on The Young and The Restless was analysed to be far from her usual self which provoked Michael to look into her medication being spiked.

Phyllis' changed behavior has caused her friendship with Lauren Fenmore to be under the headlights. Victor Newman's attempts at shielding secrets in a bid to rekindle his feud with Jack Abbott has also added a new layer to the drama.

Ian, the new villain on the show, has been shown concealing plots, which are potentially dangerous, which might harm the residents of Genoa City. Diane Jenkins and Billy Abbott have been conspiring together to overthrow the power hierarchy of the Abbott family.
