Today on the November 2nd episode of The Young and the Restless, Christine (Lauralee Bell) is at a crossroads after her marriage to Paul has gone bust. How will she pick up the pieces and move on from here? Might a romance 30 years later with Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) be the ticket for part of her future happiness?

The episode also celebrates Lauralee Bell’s 40th anniversary with the top-rated CBS soap opera with this special standalone show.  For longtime viewers of Y&R, they know that Bell started on the show as teenaged fashion model Cricket Blair and later when she grew up became legal eagle “Christine”.

Throughout her run on Y&R, Christine has only had two great loves, Paul and Danny. Pretty rare for a soap opera character after 4 decades!  In previewing her special episode with PEOPLE, Bell expressed: “My character’s at the crossroads of leaving my ex-husband and possibly revisiting my first love, who just happens to be back in town. I go from location to location and I talk to different people. At the end, there is kind of the answer to this question of where I’m at in my life. It sort of gives you a hint of what she might be doing next.”

Now with Michael Damian back on Y&R, could Christine find happiness again with Danny, and put behind all the past interference and tragedy caused by Phyllis (Michelle Stafford)?  Bell shared: “We have fans that have been saying in the last couple weeks, I’ve waited 30 years for Cricket and Danny to get back together. Waited 30 years!”

Lauralee’s longtime friend and castmate Tricia Cast (Nina) is back for the milestone show. Tricia is just one of many cast members who have been a part of Lauralee’s life on-screen and off. Bell noted, “I’ve spent 40 years with some of these people and have loved every minute of it.”

In addition, on yesterday’s episode of The Talk, Lauralee and Michael Damian previewed Bell’s 40th anniversary episode and teased a Danny and Christine reunion.  You can watch it below.

So, do you think Danny and Christine will get a second chance at love, 30 years later? Let us know in the comment section and share your congrats to Lauralee for her 40th anniversary milestone on The Young and the Restless.

The best part was Phyllis: “cheers to The Big!” LMFAO

What a beautiful episode!
Laura Lee Bell plays her role of Christine with all her heart and soul. She certainly had some tear jerker scenes!!!
Made me miss the old y n r soooo much. All those impactful stories with lots of crisises and real development s, that musical score too. All my favorites!!!

I thought it was very well done and Tricia Cast and her fell right into place without missing a beat .

I agree with you. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Too bad Phyllis had to spoil it with her nastiness.

I didn’t see the program yet. However, did see the program when Cricket was first introduced. For me, Cricket who grew up and became Christine, was always rather herself and somewhat “pure” in many senses. There were scenes ago with Paul and Christine on the beaches of (Hawaii) or something similar. Danny also with a marriage. As an actor, if the writing is not too disrupted, regardless of most scripts — she can work it; save an extraordinarily event.
