The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Tuesday, December 31 Review - Phyllis & Jack Reconnect - Chelsea Taken In By Adam’s Love Declaration

The Young and the Restless spoilers review for Tuesday, December 31, tease that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) will greet Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) at Society. Phyllis will have requested a meeting with Jack, and he’ll be curious as to what it’s about. Before they can talk, they’ll see Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) sitting at the bar, and it will be apparent to Jack that Phyllis is still peeved at him as the two snark at each other.

After Adam leaves, Jack and Phyllis will have a heart-to-heart, and Phyllis will take the opportunity to offer him a heartfelt apology for hurting him in the past, and in particular for cheating on him with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).

Jack will note that he feels blessed at where he is in his life, and they’ll establish that they’re friends – something that Phyllis will deeply appreciate. He’ll advise her to be careful, and she’ll say that she’ll be ok, and that she’ll find what she needs to be happy.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) will arrive at Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) place wanting to spend some time with him, but Nick will want to talk about Adam’s indecent proposal to Phyllis. He’ll inform Chelsea that Adam asked Phyllis to seduce him, and Chelsea will be livid. She’ll rant and rave a bit, then Nick will ask what “they” are going to do about it.

Chelsea will insist that she needs to talk to Adam privately about the matter, which Nick won’t like. He’ll want to come with her and confront Adam as a team, but Chelsea will refuse. She’ll rush over to Adam’s and angrily confront him. He won’t try to deny it, and he’ll say that it was a cheap move that he regrets and wishes he could take back.

Then, Adam will use the opportunity to launch into a monologue about how much he loves Chelsea and that he’s never stopped loving her. He’ll say that he wants Chelsea to open her heart to him, and that it’s like a knife in his heart every time she’s with Nick. Chelsea will seem torn by his words, and she’ll wonder how she can trust that this just isn’t a big manipulation.

Adam will go on about how he wants it to just be the three of them, like it was in the past. He’ll look right at Chelsea and tell her that he loves her and that he means every word he’s saying…and that while Nick made her feel safe, he could make her whole. Chelsea seemed to be affected by this, just as Nick predicted she might be.

It certainly looks like Chelsea is torn between Nick and her little family with Adam and Connor Newman (Judah Mackey), and Adam really isn’t manipulating that much to make it happen…he’s basically just putting his feelings out there in a very bold way.

At any rate, it looks like Nick was right to be worried, and it’s telling that Chelsea wanted to go confront Adam by herself, which could be a sign that she doesn’t feel a strong pull to Nick.

Finally, Phyllis and Nick will bump into each other at Crimson Lights, where Nick is drowning his Chelsea sorrows in coffee. He’ll tell Phyllis that he told Chelsea about what Adam tried to do, and that she got outraged and ran over to his penthouse.

Nick will lament that Adam would probably say anything to minimize the damage and keep Chelsea close, and Phyllis will realize that Nick’s afraid that Chelsea may fall for it.

Nick will then declare the topic to be off-limits, and he and Phyllis will try to talk about something else, but it will be difficult. They’ll be discussing their friendship and laughing when Summer Newman (Hunter King) enters and spies them getting along so well. She’ll be immediately concerned and ask what’s going on here.

Nick will then make up some story about how they were talking about Christian Newman’s (Alex Wilson) new drum set, and pretty soon Nick will get called away on New Hope business. Summer will immediately turn to her mom and say, “Really? Dad, again?” But Phyllis will insist that she’s not interested in Nick – she doesn’t want complications and Nick’s life is too complicated.

Of course, Y&R viewers know that Phyllis is indeed attracted to Nick, and there has been some sort of spark between them lately. Who knows if they’d ever act on it, but one thing’s for sure, and that’s that they tend to gravitate toward each other when their respective love lives aren’t doing so well, and that’s certainly the case right now.

It sounds like a lot of Y&R drama is heating up for Tuesday’s episode, so stay tuned! We’ll give you updates as Y&R news comes in. Stick with the CBS soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Young and the Restless spoilers, updates, and news.
