The Young and the Restless: Phyllis and Billy Make Audra COO to Defeat Victor

In Genoa City, tensions rise as Audra storms out of Newman Enterprises

, seething with rage after being fired by Victor Newman.

Having spent years by his side, she never imagined that he would

discard her so ruthlessly. Now, humiliated and angry, she vows revenge. She knows Victor’s darkest secrets and is determined to use them against him, but the path to taking him down isn’t clear. Victor has always been one step ahead, making it nearly impossible to launch a direct assault. Still, Audra is patient and determined, knowing she just needs the right opportunity to strike.

While contemplating her next move, Audra realizes that Victor’s downfall might not come from attacking him head-on. Instead, she sets her sights on an alliance with two of Victor’s biggest adversaries: Billy Abbott and Phyllis Summers. Billy and Phyllis recently joined forces, each motivated by their deep-seated resentment toward Victor. Phyllis, sharp and relentless, is ready to dismantle anyone who stands in her way, while Billy is eager to prove himself and escape Victor’s looming shadow. Together, they form a formidable duo capable of taking on the Newman empire.

Audra knows that aligning with them is her best shot at revenge, but she must tread carefully. Freshly ousted from Newman Enterprises, she fears that Billy and Phyllis might view her with suspicion. What if they think she’s a spy sent by Victor to infiltrate their inner circle? To win their trust, she has to offer more than just her secrets about Victor—she has to prove her loyalty.

Audra approaches Billy and Phyllis, laying out her proposal with careful precision. She offers to join their alliance, promising to use her insider knowledge to help bring Victor to his knees. She reveals how Victor manipulates people, builds his empire on lies, and intimidates anyone who opposes him. She assures them that, with her help, they can outmaneuver him once and for all.

Billy, however, isn’t so easily convinced. He’s wary of Audra’s sudden appearance and questions the timing of her firing. What if it’s all a setup? What if Victor orchestrated the entire thing to plant a mole in their operation? Billy knows that Audra is cunning and always has her own agenda, and he can’t shake the feeling that her offer might be part of a larger scheme.

Phyllis, on the other hand, is more pragmatic. She understands Billy’s concerns but believes they don’t have anything to hide from Audra. Unlike Victor, who operates in the shadows, Phyllis and Billy fight with legitimate business strategies and alliances. Phyllis recognizes the value of having someone with Audra’s expertise on their side. She believes that, by bringing Audra into their fold, they can turn the tables on Victor, using one of his former allies against him.

Phyllis’s confidence wins over Billy, though he remains cautious. Together, they decide to let Audra in, but not as a mere accomplice—they need to give her a powerful role to prove her loyalty. So, they appoint Audra as COO of their new venture, a critical position that will allow her to influence the strategic decisions aimed at taking down Victor.

Audra is thrilled. She’s back in a position of authority, but this time, it’s on her terms. With Phyllis and Billy backing her, she feels empowered once again and sees a real opportunity to reshape the power dynamics in Genoa City.

As the alliance takes shape, the battle lines are drawn. Victor may have thought he could discard Audra, but with her new position and the combined forces of Phyllis and Billy, she’s ready to fight back. The chessboard is set, and the next move could bring Victor’s empire crashing down.
