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.

Chase, Jason and Drew

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, getting to the bottom of truth is paramount for several characters, but who will continue to lie and who might break?

In the latest video spoilers for the week of October 19-23, Sonny (Maurice Benard) needs to prove that he is innocent in orchestrating the prison beatdown of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). His girlfriend, ADA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor), wants to seemingly turn him to as she is seen saying, “I won’t give up until Sonny is behind bars,” to none other than Drew (Cameron Mathison)!

Meanwhile, it looks like Sonny has pulled Jason back in to to help him clear his name telling him to, “Find out whatever you can.” Later, we see Jason (Steve Burton) posing the question to someone, “Did you frame Sonny for it?” Did he go to Pentonville to confront Sully?

Published

Finn

Next week on all-new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) finally blurts out that she went ahead with becoming Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) surrogate when her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan) specifically told her not to do, and was against it.

In the video preview for October 19-23, Daphne is singing Steffy’s praises to Carter, while Carter worries Steffy will admit the truth to Finn. However, at the cliff house, Steffy reveals that she went ahead with the implantation without informing him!

Finn is so taken aback he yells, “What!?” Now in complete shock, how will he come to understand why Steffy would do such a thing, knowing the risks being a surrogate could put her in for the sake of giving up the baby she is carrying to another couple? Little does Finn know this elaborate, and not well thought out cover-up, stems from Carter and Steffy having drunken sex together!
