Viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall that tensions have been mounting between Nick and Phyllis in recent episodes of The Young and The Restless. The two of them have been polar opposites when it comes to Nick’s family, and Nick has always been invested in his family, perhaps even overinvested! So it’s like a serious conflict of interest, with Nick feeling torn apart between Phyllis and the Newmans, meaning his siblings and parents.
Viewers of The Young and The Restless know that Phyllis has been demanding most if not all of his attention, and even though she’s not saying she doesn’t care about his family, she wants him to take a step back because of all of their drama impacting her and Nick’s relationship. Nick is also distracted with his concerns about his new brother-in-law Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi). Viewers of The Young and The Restless will have noticed that Nick doesn’t understand why his family are not as worried about him as he is, he sees him as a bonafide threat! Nick worries that Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will be hurt by this in the long run, and possibly hurt badly – and he’d blame himself if he hadn’t done everything he could to make sure she wouldn’t be.
Viewers of The Young and The Restless will have noticed that Nick and Phyllis seem to have an ever increasing gap between them, but Phyllis notices and complains about it much more than Nick. Phyllis feels that all of her attempts to get along with the Newmans have been misunderstood by Nick, and he just cannot see her intentions are pure. Viewers of The Young and The Restless can see that Nick’s distracted to the core with the goings on in his family and not seeing Phyllis’ needs, and she needs him to see her needs.
Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall that Nick and Phyllis have fallen apart before in the past, and the first time was because she couldn’t make up her mind whether she wanted Nick, or she wanted Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman)! Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless also seem to see that same pattern setting up again, and so has Nick, for that matter, although Phyllis has continually denied it to him! Nick and Phyllis have argued over her friendship with Jack a couple of times recently, and it seems that it has only been after Jack accidentally told Phyllis he still loves her that the “distance” seems to have formed between Phyllis and Nick!
Viewers of The Young and The Restless will see Nick and Phyllis try to reconnect as they are having lunch together at Society. Viewers of The Young and The Restless will remember this is where the two started to reconnect a couple of years back, starting with friendly games back and forth on their phones that soon evolved into more. Phyllis was there for Nick through the trauma of his sister Victoria’s shooting by Amanda Sinclair’s (Mishael Morgan) stalker, even though her presence was not appreciated. Phyllis was there for Nick through Sharon Rosales’ (Sharon Case) battle with breast cancer even though her kindness to Sharon wasn’t understood or always appreciated.
Viewers of The Young and The Restless can observe that Nick doesn’t see that he’s misunderstanding Phyllis or not appreciating her, and yet she feels as if though he is; he is just very distracted by the problems in his family and it’s an interference Phyllis can’t or won’t handle. It is both a gap and a wall between them that the two of them cannot seem to break through! Viewers of The Young and The Restless will see Nick and Phyllis return to the Grand Phoenix where Phyllis finally blurts out that they are over, and they are both so impulsive that he simply agrees with her – she won’t see his side of things and she accuses him of not seeing her side, and so they agree it’s time to break up!
