The Young and the Restless, Michelle Stafford View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSet to the Sydney Rose song "Turning Page," Stafford posted an Instagram reel, which a slight wind is blowing through her hair. "Every now and then I feel like I have to do this…" Stafford began. "I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Michelle," the performer continued, "I am an actress. I don’t have any other name except Michelle. No other personality except my own. If you feel like I am 'too real' playing a character on TV then I am going to take that as a compliment. I must be doing a somewhat adequate job. Have an exquisite day."Stafford received some positive responses from Y&R pals in the comments section. Lauralee Bell (Christine) simply posted two heart emojis. Mandi Line, the show's costumer, wrote, "Wouldn't want u any way else!" Added Christel Khalil, whose character recently verbally sparred with Stafford's Phyllis, wrote, "Stunna," followed by an emogi of a face with hearts for eyes. Fans also weighed in with remarks, too. "Been watching you play Phyllis from day one! U were amazing then and ur even more amazing now...we love you, Michelle," posted @olivia092124.The fiery redhead on The Young and the RestlessPhyllis made an unforgettable toast at Danny and Cricket's wedding on The Young and the Restless | Image: CBSPhyllis made the scene in 1994, guns a blazing! She marched into the solemn occasion of Rex Sterling's (Quinn Redeker) memorial, announcing to everyone that she was "Mrs. Danny Romalotti," the "mother of Danny Romalotti, Jr." Phyllis had let everyone believe that she and Danny (Michael Damian) had had an affair while he was in New York performing on Broadway, and she became pregnant with his son, Daniel. Sensing that Danny would never get over Christine (Lauralee Bell), even though she had moved on to an engagement with Paul (Doug Davidson), Phyllis rented a car and mowed down the engaged duo. They survived, and it wasn't until years later that Phyllis appeared in court, charged with her crimes. She got off on a technicality, however. But Phyllis paid in other ways. Danny learned that he had never slept with Phyllis, and he wasn't Daniel's (Michael Graziadei) father. Still, Daniel got custody of the boy and left town with him. Phyllis moved on to relationships with Jack (Peter Bergman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow), but is currently single. She made an appearance at Danny and Cricket's second wedding ceremony and toasted the bride and groom. Catch all-new episodes of The Young and the Restless weekdays on CBS and Paramount Plus.
