Over the weekend, CBS and The Young and the Restless have dropped this week’s promo featuring the standalone episode honoring 40 years of Christine in Genoa City, and of course, her portrayer, Lauralee Bell.

Be sure to tune-in on Thursday, November 2nd, when the top-rated soap opera looks back at some of the highlights of Christine’s story, plus where she is at today, especially after she and Paul have decided to end their marriage.  At a major crossroads, what will this legal eagle decide to do next with her life?

Throughout the special hour, look for Christine to have encounters and discussions with the likes of: Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Nina (Tricia Cast), Esther (Kate Linder), and Danny (Michael Damian).  Who will have the biggest influence on her, ultimately?

Lauralee Bell commented and shared on the promo for her big 4-0: “Thursday’s Y&R will be filled with past clips with some of my favorite people but it will also be a bit different, mixed with a lot of present day! AND you get to see me say “Bite Me” one more time.  Hope you’ll tune on Thursday! So grateful for our viewers! Some who have been along for the ride since Jabot Junior! Appreciate you!”

The daughter of Y&R co-creators, Bill Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, Lauralee, began playing the role of Cricket Blair back in the summer of 1983.  She stayed on-contract with the show through 2005.  Since that time, Lauralee has appeared on a recurring status with the CBS soap.

As is Y&R folklore, as time went on Cricket matured from a teen model into a legal aid lawyer. The character dropped the moniker “Cricket”, especially after her rival Phyllis turned it into an insult by calling her “the Bug”, and from then on, she has gone by the name of “Christine”.

Check out the promo for Thursday’s Christine-centric episode of The Young and the Restless. Then let us know, what has been your favorite and least favorite Christine story through the years via the comment section.

The show is so boring with few exceptions and I’ll definitely pass on this because the Christine character is a snore Yandr needs a real alignment

I totally agree. Christine has always been my least favourite character – can’t imagine an entire hour of her.

Those were some good days everybody does realize that she was Bill Bell’s daughter ?? Of course there was nepotism involved hey she doesn’t bug lol me as much as Brad who has totally ruined Bold! She always knew her lines and I have never felt she took advantage of the situation so let her have her day in the sun

I think she more than proved herself

Really looking forward to this episode
Always loved Cricket and all her heroine stories. Phillip,Danny,Nina, Michael, Paul, Isabella, Phyliss .
Shes classic!!!!
Also really looking forward to a day off from the very non sensual Newman, Abbott and Tucker crap
Give me Cricket ,Danny , Nina, Michael and Lauren any day

I like this. Wonder if any clips will feature Doug Davidson?

I liked Lauralee/Christine over the years and thought her SLs were good and appropriate. She was good with Danny, Michael and Paul and I don’t find her talent any less than some of the bimbos they’ve had on there. All these people that love Michelle Stafford, is she any better because she can play the mean bitch so well?

Love The Bug

Another anniversary show for an actor who has not appeared for all practical purposes for at least 8 years. That sham of a Phyllis death story that went not where, she had a little bit of air time. And the break up of a marriage that hasn’t been shown since they day they wed. Like “Michael” and “Esther” who had anniversary shows – we are reminded of what the show used to be like when the writers wrote and there were sets.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, danger lurks for Josslyn (Eden McCoy) after her nosying around puts her right in the path of Cassius (Ryan Paevey).

In the latest ABC promo for the daytime drama series, Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) voice is also heard exclaiming about Josslyn, “She’s not just some ditzy sorority girl. She’s a WSB agent!” Next as Josslyn is trying to leave her apartment, Cassius grabs her arm to stop her with a smirk on his face. Will Josslyn put together the pieces that the man in front of her is not Nathan at all?

Meanwhile, another man in Josslyn’s life, her boss, WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is on the warpath. Is he on the warpath about Josslyn basically going rogue when he told her to stay out of things, or is he losing it because Carly (Laura Wright) had been shacking up with his sworn enemy, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart)?

As the promo comes to and end, an angry Jack is about to stampede into a room, cut to Carly worried and sitting up in bed. Is he on his way to confront Carly? Will she be alone or with Valentin? Or is it all a red-herring?

The preview also features Curtis (Donnell Turner) pointing the finger at Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) as the person who caused the accident that injured Jordan (Tanisha Harper). But, is Curtis barking up the wrong tree, if the driver was Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) or someone else?
