Image Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesLauralee Bell will briefly reprise her role as Christine Blair on The Young and The Restless beginning July 15, EW has learned. The actress — who spent 18 years on the top-rated daytime drama before exiting in August 2006 (her character left Genoa City for an unspecified reason) — will return to the show’s Los Angeles set on June 11. Her return is expected to last about a month, during which time Christine will reunite with Paul and Nina — and harbor some secrets that will impact them and their children.
Restless was created by Bell’s parents, Lee Phillip Bell and William J. Bell. She also portrayed her role on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful in 2007.
Cricket!!
Haha…I forgot her name but yelled Cricket when I saw her face!
lol, me too.
BUG.
I love her!! Cricket and Danny remain one of my favorite TV couples of all time!!
Can we get Danny back too?? His son is a mess right now on the show.
Cricket doesn’t have ANY children!!!! If you’re referring Daniel being her son, he’s actually Phyllis’ son, and Cricket’s GODSON, not her BIO SON!!!!
Ok, i screwed up and said Cricket wasn’t Daniel’s mother! MY BAD!!! Actually, Danny is not Daniel’s bio dad, it’s from some other guy that Phyllis was invovled with and I don’t remember his name, but will come back in a sec and find it on soapcentral.com
haha double FAIL! BJohnson also clearly says “his” son and does not in any way imply that Cricket is Daniel’s mother
You need to relax. And find a hobby that doesn’t involve daytime TV.
No I know my history. Cricket never had children b/c Danny broke up with her on a phone call (since the actor who played him was on tour) and told her he fathered a son. When Danny came back with Phyllis and young Daniel in tow and everyone found out that Phyllis is a nut (though they have NEVER discovered she’s the hit and run driver that almost killed Cricket and Paul and caused an uncomfortable time for viewers dealing with Paul’s impotence as a result.) I’m just nostalgic for the 80s-90s Y&R gang that brought the drama.
We all need to get together. Now that I’m thinking about it. What other things in Genoa City never got resolved. I betcha all the Y&R fans can start talking about that. The Phyllis hit and run thing has always ticked me off.
OH NOOO, really?! Calm down. Take a pill.
RE: “Can we get Danny back too??”
Oh no, he don’t have the looks anymore.
I hope she has a catfight with Phyllis again haha!
Maybe Phyllis will try again.. and succeed.
Daniel’s bio dad is really Brian Hamilton!!!!
Looking forward to this! Especially since it means more screentime for Nina!
Nina is so underused on this show
Agreed! Nina is one of may all time favorites!
OMG nooooo.. Since they turned Nina into a babbling nosey witch like Jill, I turn the channel when she’s on.
Wasn’t she known as Christine for several years before she left? She stopped calling herself Cricket back when she was in law school.
Please bring Drew back. I really miss her.
Drew sunk her ship when she played the race card with CBS. They won’t forget that. Neither have I. No return!
Wow, The Young and Restless is the best soup on T.V. I remember Cricket, she’s a great actress.
Chicken soup is good too! lol
Lots of things are bothering me! Whose casket did Victor throw out of the plane? Now Adam’s casket is in a graveyard? Who killed “Ji Min Kim”? The writers don;t care but these two items are bothering me.
Is Sean Young staying on the show? I don’t care if Patrick Swayzee’s brother’s character drowns or not.
Why?
The bug is back?? uhhh..well ok. Kudos to Y&R for adding another white person to the cast! I hardly recognize it anymore.
I wonder if they can get rid of that starry expression glued on her face?
The only reason she got on the show in the first place was because she’s a “Bell”. I was never too impressed with her. She has buggy eyes, I guess that’s why people call her a bug name.
I think the secret Christine reveals to Paul and Nina is that Heather and Chance are brother and sister.
