The Young And The Restless Photo Leak: THIS Character Is Returning For Thanksgiving & Phyllis Should Be HappyThe Young and the Restless spoilers suggest that a character is returning to the land of Genoa City that hasn’t been seen in a hot minute!

Michelle Stafford, who plays Phyllis Summers, posted an interesting behind-the-scenes photo on her social media, hinting at an interesting character comeback … just in time for Thanksgiving!

Stafford hopped on Instagram and placed a sweet photo of some castmates in a “selfie” on her Story. These included Michael Damian (Danny Romalotti), Lauralee Bell (Christine Romalotti), Tracy E. Bregman (Lauren Fenmore), Michael Graziadei (Daniel Romalotti), and another young lady next to Graziadei.

At first glance, the young lady appears to be Hunter King (who played Summer Newman) or almost as if she could be a Summer Newman recast.

Still, once zoomed in, it seems that the girl next to “Daniel” is Lily Brooks O’Briant, who plays Lucy Romalotti! There’s a turkey graphic on the photo.

Phyllis Summers’ Heart Is Full

As the show tapes several weeks in advance, it appears that O’Briant will return to the show, and Lucy Romalotti will be a part of the Thanksgiving episodes.

That said, nothing has been confirmed by The Young and the Restless, nor O’Briant as of this writing.

O’Briant joined the cast as Lucy in January 2023 and hasn’t been seen on the show in quite a while; however, the character is mentioned often and still resides in Genoa City. She’s just ‘busy’ with school and friends.

Lucy is the offspring of Daniel and his late partner, Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom), and was catapulted into storylines in the aftermath of her mother’s passing.

While all arrows pointed to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) being the woman’s killer, it ended up being Jordan Howard (Colleen Zenk) and her co-conspirator Ian Ward (Ray Wise).
