This storyline dragged on for years, with Phyllis going to great lengths to hide her deceit.
To deceive him further, Phyllis bribed someone to alter the paternity test results.
In fact, Christine and Paul were living a classic romance and even had plans to get hitched.
Phyllis’s actions left Paul severely injured, though they narrowly escaped death, much to her dismay.
Despite her devious deeds, Phyllis kept her involvement hidden until 2012, when incriminating documents came to light.
Evidence revealed that she had rented the hit-and-run car on the day of the accident.
The revelation led to Christine accusing Phyllis, but Phyllis vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
As they faced the challenge together, Danny began to see a possible change in Phyllis.
With Daniel’s recovery, Danny’s love for Phyllis rekindled, leading to a proposal and their marriage.
Sasha was the lab attendant Phyllis had paid to manipulate the paternity results.
Despite Phyllis’s desperate efforts, she couldn’t raise the funds Sasha demanded.
As Sasha grew impatient and threatened to expose Phyllis’s misdeeds, Phyllis took drastic action.
Tragically, Sasha’s building went up in flames, with her trapped inside.
However, since Sasha was known for drinking and smoking carelessly, authorities ruled the incident accidental.
Diane even attempted to frame Phyllis for trying to murder her during their ongoing feud.
Ultimately, Phyllis’s affair with Nicholas Newman resulted in her marriage with Jack ending in divorce.
But their young and restless feud was far from over.
However, as Phyllis’s relationship with Jeremy soured, she was forced to kill him in self-defense.
In 2012, when Christine was close to the truth, she arranged a meeting with him.
Phyllis stepped out in lingerie just as Tim had a heart attack.
She never paid back the money, but Nick stepped in to cover the debt.
Despite her deceit, she conveniently came clean to Summer about murdering Jeremy when she got into trouble.
When Summer eventually confessed, Kyle was furious, which drove a wedge between him and Summer.
Kyle found comfort in a relationship with Audra, leaving Summer heartbroken.
