The Young and the Restless characters Phyllis and Michael made up earlier this year, and their portrayers, Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc, are also great pals! Recently, Stafford brought LeBlanc along with her on her coffee run to a health food store called Erewhon. The Young and the Restless, coffee talk View this post on Instagram Instagram Post"I'm going to Erewhon," Stafford began her Instagram post that showed her walking to a Los Angeles health food store that sells, among other things, piping hot coffee with collagen in it. "I'm bringing a friend with me," she adds, referring to her longtime Y&R co-star and pal, Christian LeBlanc (Michael). "It's like my only vice in life," Stafford adds of her caffeine fix. "Here we go! Our coffee is being prepared. Is there anything better than to have coffee prepared for you?"Stafford ordered her coffee in advance and waited to be notified when it would be ready in an area of the store. "This is where we wait for it," she explained. "We wait right here.""We're going to get $40 cups of coffee," quipped LeBlanc about the pricey establishment. (Note: coffee is not that expensive at Erewhon!) "It's going to be exciting, and [the collagen] will make us young again, poor, but young.""Poor but fabulous looking," Stafford countered. She continued, "This is where you wait. You wait here for your coffee, and sometimes my coffee is ready, but I know the rules, and I'm a rule follower."

"No, it didn't," Stafford says, correcting him.She did wonder out loud about the whole collagen rage. Does it truly work? "It makes me feel good," The Young and the Restless actress mused. LeBlanc maintained: "You'll be 10 years younger by the time you get back to the studio!" Right now, Michael and Phyllis aren't in each other's direct orbits. He's got an upcoming wedding anniversary with his bride of 20 (!) years, Lauren (Tracey Bregman). Meanwhile, Phyllis is currently involved in a complicated relationship with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). She was hoping to ally herself with Cane so that everyone in Genoa City would respect her business acumen. Their relationship took a turn when Phyllis stole Cane's AI program, and then she gave it to Victor, not thinking he'd use it to hurt Cane's company, but that's exactly what she did. However, Victor's used the program for something else. He's used it to hamper Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), who's in Los Angeles trying to hurt Nick (Joshua Morrow), Sharon (Sharon Case), and Noah (Lucas Adams).
