The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

I can't help but wonder if Christine is chasing justice or revenge. Don't get me wrong, there is no doubt that Phyllis did commit the hit and run and I can understand Christine being angry. But after today's show I wonder which force is motivating her. Ronan asked her whether or not she though Phyllis had any emotional growth or changed in the years since the hit and run and Christine basically said she did not care.

Ronan also pointed out that Chris circumvented the legal system to get a warrent and he is right. If it were anyone else the law would not go after Phyllis because of the staute of limitations. Since Christine apperently was on federal payroll at the time the limit does not pertain to crimes commited against her.

Christine insisted on Phyllis being arested in fron of her family. She could have waited for them to leave but it almost seemed like she wanted to humilate Phyllis. She even insisted on cuffs but Ronan didn't comply.

I think Phyllis should be held accountable for her actions but I fail to see what produtictive use jail would have at this point. Make her admit her crime, make her pay a huge fine, make her do some sort of major community service...Even go so far as to make her get counseling, although I do not think she has the anger management issues she once had. If it were anyone else but Phyllis I doubt Christine would be out for blood. She forgave Micheal for raping her but she can not conceed that Phyllis may have changed and has become a diffrent person as well. I think it is more about revenge than anything else.

Well, I think its both but lawlfully it is "justice".

Afterall Christine could be dead.

Some should put themselves in the other person shoes and see how it feels....Michael, Lauren, etc... Have you ever been run down and left for dead....Lauren I think you can relate.

And quite frankly, I think Christine is entitled to both justice and "revenge" if you want to call prosecuting a criminal that.

Great Post, I don't know maybe its a little of both, I mean I would want justice that is for sure no matter how long ago it was so I can see her point on that one. I didn't watch today yet but I think she may want her embarrassed in front of her friends and family , right now all she wants is Phylis to pay. If this was Phylis she would be doing the same exact thing. Look how many times she wrote in her magazine about people, remember while back when she lurked around everyone , just about all the female characters and wrote about them in the magazine that was embarrassing for them not only for their rep but for their kids to see. Phylis had no remorse about that, she didn't care if their loved ones seen it and none of these people hit her and run after, so there was no reason for her to do this to these people. Christine was H and R by this lady so she wants her to pay with both revenge and justice and in my opinion Phylis deserves it. If Phylis can do this to others for no reason, or just to get a story in a magazine no matter who she hurts then I say Christine has the right to do this.

Does it really make a difference? Both are warranted. Revenge and justice go hand in hand.

That is with me also, I would give her a break if she would just be honest and show remorse to what she has done, I still don't see remorse, all that I see is the hatred she has in Christine like it is her fault she is in trouble. Phylis holds everyone else for her problems and her evil ways, it is always some one else fault. You know when a kid says " well they made me do it" well that is how Phylis thinks. They made me do it. Phylis hasn't changed one bit since that incident 20 years ago, every time she does something evil to someone she never has remorse. Evil comes natural to her.
