Lauralee Bell is with every Young and the Restless fan this week. She’s just as excited about Christine and Danny (Michael Damian) getting engaged as you are.
She knows viewers are “giddy” after “waiting for this reunion for so long” because of Christine and Danny’s supercouple impact on daytime history. “It’s a love story and a lifelong thing that has become really fun to be a part of,” she gushes to Soaps.com.
With Christine and Danny feeling “more connected and united than ever” thanks to her having tagged along on his whirlwind rockstar tour, the next step in their relationship seems inevitable. But with every walk down the aisle in daytime, there can be trouble lurking… especially given the ever-present dark cloud that is Phyllis!
Bell reassures us that Danny is all-in, and so is Christine. “If you’re in a relationship and something jeopardizes it, like a Phyllis, and you find your way back, you would never want to be in that position again,” she says. “And you’ll never let it go.” That doesn’t mean Phyllis won’t give it a shot.
“If we’re going to go through all the trouble to do this again [with Christine and Danny’s marriage], she’s got to stay away. But of course, for Cricket to utter those words would mean Phyllis will be looming around. She can’t help herself! Even if she’s not invited [to the wedding], I hope I don’t see her in a wig serving something, pretending to be a waitress,” Bell jokes. “But I think I think we’re going to have to have heightened security for this wedding.”
Bell confirms that she hasn’t been given any details about the upcoming nuptials by The Young and the Restless writers. Still, she warns, “That’s never stopped Phyllis before.” But she is ready for the supercouple’s happy ending because they’ve fought so hard to get here.
Bell’s one request for Danny and Christine’s fairytale future seems pretty simple on paper, but there are show logistics to consider.
“It sounds so silly, but I would just love to have like a home base,” she admits. “I think, unfortunately, because of budget and everything, so many of our scenes have been in the coffeehouse or Society, understandably. What really draws people in is when they feel like they’re witnessing a piece of your life. The set really matters.”
She believes a living room or kitchen is all Christine and Danny need, reflecting on how important that sense of place was in the past.
“I keep going back to the kitchen because it was so fun to see scenes where Nina and even David Kimball, I think, were there, and we were all washing dishes and handing them off to each other and putting them in the cabinet while we were talking after a dinner party. It brings in the reality of the relationship so much more in a home,” Bell muses. “So, I’m just hoping that we get to just live like that again, because it does help elevate the intensity of the relationship.”
That said, Bell isn’t picky about Danny and Christine’s living arrangements. “I’m even fine moving in with Daniel,” she laughs of Danny’s grown son. “We just need a home! We need to get a petition going for them to have a home,” Bell suggests. “What do we want for our wedding present? A home!”
Christine — formerly known as Cricket — has a romantic history that might be more complicated than you recall! Check out every twist and turn in the gallery below!
