But he still feels entitled to ask about her connection—both work and personal—with Cane. Devon might think old feelings give him some right, but Amanda makes it clear: he doesn't. Her professional ties with Cane are protected, and Devon, of all people, should know not to push her. If hurting his ego in the process makes her feel better, well, that's a bonus. Abby getting uncomfortable? Even better. Phyllis eavesdrops her way to power Phyllis has made herself at home in that ominous French hedge maze—lurking, listening, and waiting. She's spent more time sneaking around than anyone else. Finally, she hears something she believes is useful. Whether it truly matters or not doesn't stop her from treating it like gold. If Phyllis thinks it's a game-changer, she'll use it like one. Her goal? Help Cane—and strike back at the long list of people who've wronged her. Cane's quiet moves begin Cane isn't staying idle while chaos brews. Behind the scenes, he's setting up something of his own. It all starts with him reconnecting with a figure from his past—someone who has mostly stayed in the background but could now play a major role. Cane's patience may finally be paying off, and the moves he makes now could shift everything happening around stands tall, Phyllis plays her cards, and Cane reactivates an old connection that could change the course of Genoa City.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers, July 2 Episode: Why is Amanda Angry With Devon? Learn What Happened
The new episode of The Young and the Restless will bring high-intensity drama to the screens. Amanda is expected to unleash her wrath on Devon. She left Genoa City years ago because Devon, her then-partner, cheated on her with Abby. Since then, whatever is happening in Amanda's life is no one's business, especially not Devon's. However, Devon still thinks that he has a right to question Amanda's life choices. Having had enough of Devon, Amanda confronts him, stating that he can no longer interfere in her professional life and personal life with Cane. Amanda will pull every string to get things straight with Devon, and would be happier if it hurts Abby. Phyllis learns something important Though Phyllis claims that she does not eavesdrop, she definitely does. By putting her ear to the wall, she has learned something important. The audiences are expected to know the information that Phyllis has learned in the upcoming episode. Knowing Phyllis, she will play an ace against Cane and all those who outplayed her, that is, mostly everybody. Meanwhile, Cane is not sitting idly, letting things happen to him. He has got plans of his own that will be put into effect soon. The only way Cane can save himself and put his plan into action is by reconnecting with a person from his past who has been keeping a low profile lately. It would be interesting to see how Devon reacts to Amanda's fury and what Phyllis knows that could be used against Cane and others.

Anupam Bhattacharya returns to TV with Jhanak after 5 years
Anupam Bhattacharya, recognised for his role in Ishq Subhanallah, is set to make a comeback to television after a five-year hiatus. He will be portraying Shashwat Sengupta in the show Jhanak post the leap. His decision to return was influenced by the character's potential to drive the story and the extensive reach of television. Actor Anupam Bhattacharya, last seen on television in Ishq Subhanallah, is returning to the small screen after nearly half a decade. 'I have been staying away from television for a fairly long time now… the primary reason being in a quest for a quality role on TV and concentrating more on OTT, films, and advertisements,' he says. In the years away from daily soaps, he stayed active with over 100 ad films and roles in projects like The Body, Farrey, TE3N, and Khakee. He now joins Jhanak post the leap of the show. Sharing about his role, he says, 'I am playing the role of Shashwat Sengupta — a rich businessman, a widower with a boy and a girl in their teens. He marries Ishani, one of the leads, to take care of his children and household errands.' He adds, 'I saw Shashwat as a character who can drive the story along with his interesting personality traits. That's why I took this show up.' Though he finds OTT and films creatively satisfying and rewarding as a performer, he acknowledges the power of television. 'Television has a huge reach in terms of audience, hence immense recall value, which always helps enhance your market,' he says.
