Phyllis is a wild card and the one person who can get under Sharon’s skin. That’s because Nick turned to Phyllis after their daughter, Cassie Newman (Camryn Grimes), died nearly 20 years ago.
Instead of leaning on Sharon, who was his wife at the time, Nick leaned on Phyllis. It destroyed her marriage with Nick. Sharon could not accept his relationship with Phyllis, forcing Nick to choose between the two women. Nick chose Phyllis, leading to a painful divorce from Sharon.
