Fans of daytime drama have double the reason to celebrate as Lauralee Bell prepares to reprise her iconic role as Christine Blair across both The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. The beloved actress is set to make her first appearance in April on B&B before returning to Genoa City in June, sparking speculation about what drama her character will bring this time.

Bell’s upcoming crossover marks another chapter in Christine’s occasional visits to the Forrester world. As the daughter of Y&R’s legendary Katherine Chancellor and sister to B&B’s executive producer Brad Bell, Lauralee brings a unique family connection to these special appearances. “He created this partnership,” Bell recently shared about working with her brother, recalling how Christine first crossed over in 2007 to help Ridge with legal matters.
This time, Christine’s return ties back to August 2024 when she and on-screen flame Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) visited Los Angeles during the launch of Brooke’s Bedroom lingerie line featuring Danny’s music. With Bell having already filmed her B&B scenes, viewers can look forward to seeing Christine navigate the glamorous world of Forrester Creations once more before her highly-anticipated Y&R return.
