 Christine versus Phyllis

Even though Phyllis had succeeded in stealing Danny away from Christine, Christine still became a constant thorn in Phyllis' side, as her mere presence in Danny's life was a serious threat to Phyllis' marriage. Paul's relationship with Chris wasn't enough to dwindle Phyllis' paranoia as she sought to destroy her blond enemy in order to keep her completely away from Danny. This lead to Phyllis' attempt on Christine's life by running Chris and Paul down with her car. To this day, Phyllis hasn't been exposed for her crime. However, Chris investigated Phyllis and soon found out that she deceived Danny concerning the paternity of his supposed child. In response, Danny fought Phyllis in court for custody of Phyllis' son. Christine represented Danny in court, while Phyllis hooked up with Micheal Baldwin, an enemy from Chris' past, for legal advice and for romance. The battle for custody declared Danny the winner and the court deemed Phyllis an unfit mother. This left Phyllis filled with bitterness towards Christine, blaming her for "ripping her only son from her arms". Phyllis left town but returned years later, determined to change her diabolical ways and start over. With Danny no longer a factor in either women lives, Christine and Phyllis lessened their tension, even though they still bickered on occasion.

Almost a decade had passed and Phyllis still harbored resentment towards the woman responsible for legally taking her child away from her. The two women moved on, with Christine now battling the likes of Isabella Brana over her ex-husband Paul Williams and with Phyllis contending with the calculating nemesis Diane Jenkins over her new marriage to Jack Abbott. Even though both women were fighting parallel wars in their personal lives, Phyllis and Christine still shared a mutual disdain for one another. Even when Phyllis has proven herself to be a professional web designer and a prominent socialite, so prominent that she has earned more wealth than her enemy, Christine still perceived Phyllis to be nothing more than her own worst enemy, a woman who does things without fully considering the ramifications of her monstrous actions. Phyllis, on the other hand, thinks that Christine is the hypocritical "moral judge of all humanity" and that she really delights in meddling in other people's lives, especially Phyllis'. The two enemies were entangled once again with the sudden return of Danny and his now teenage son Daniel. Phyllis, finally spending time with a son she hadn't seen since he was a toddler, didn't hesitate to blast Christine for her part in the judge declaring her unfit. Yet, she would be forced to swallow her pride and her contempt, in order to beseech Chris' help in her impending arrest, having been charged with conspiracy to murder her then lover Damon's mortal enemy Dominic. Initially, they agreed to put their differences aside and work together for Daniel's sake. But tension arose when it became clear that Christine couldn't discipline Phyllis and she turned her back on Phyllis, refusing to continue to represent her. Phyllis soon sought the help of her lawyer friend Michael Baldwin and Christine took on Damon as her client and they were able to have Detective Webber dismiss the charges. The final encounters between the fiery Phyllis and the saccharine Christine occurred during Daniel's trial. Having just killed Casey Newman in an accident, Daniel turned to Christine for help in his legal troubles. Phyllis, the worry stricken mother, placed her entire faith in Christine, trusting that she would save her son from prison. The irony is that Phyllis who once scorned Christine for defending Danny in court now had to trust that Christine would defend her son. It was discovered that Cassie was driving the car that ultimately led to her fatal accident and Daniel was acquitted. Since the trial, Phyllis and Christine barely had contact, since Christine has left Genoa City. It is interesting to note that Phyllis, who sabotaged Christine's marriage to Danny in order to steal him for herself has also succeeded in sabotaging Sharon's storybook marriage to Nick. Phyllis' prime weapon is the same one she used to destroy Christine's relationship with Danny: a baby, although this time around, Phyllis' baby Summer is actually Nick's, as opposed to her scheme to alter paternity tests to convince Danny that Daniel was his child.

Best Lines Exchanged Between Them: Phyllis: "Don't Interfere, if you value your happy little life." Christine: "I still get this worked up when I think of the                                                                                                        monstrous things you have done!"
