Y&R's Michael Damian Teases Danny-Phyllis-Christine Drama: "Very Interesting Dynamics"

The Young and the Restless' Michael Damian (Danny Romalotti) is talking about his character's complex relationships in Genoa City. With Danny returning to town, there's plenty of drama to go around, he explained to Soap Opera Digest.

Damian filmed his first scenes back with Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), saying:

I just love those two and it’s always very special for me to be reunited with them. It’s always fun with Michelle and I love our little banter every time. And Michael Graziadei, that’s my boy. I’ve loved him since we first started working together years ago. I have to say that the Danny/Phyllis/Daniel scenes are pretty exceptional right out of the gate.

There's a lot to expect from Danny's return, he said, especially when it comes to his ex-wives, Phyllis and Christine (Lauralee Bell). The actor said:

I think the fans are really going to enjoy this. The writers are keeping it real with all of that history and the great story that can go along with it. The fans have been on this roller-coaster ride with Danny and Cricket for a long time so I think they’ll be treated to some good story. And things have been really fun and harmonious behind the camera since I got here. The people have been wonderful and the scripts are excellent. I think this time we’ll be getting back to Danny and Cricket having fun, but of course there’s the Cricket/Phyllis dynamic with Phyllis still calling her The Bug [laughs].

Decades have passed since the rivalry between Phyllis and "Cricket" began, but tensions still run high. Damian added:

Phyllis is not going to like Danny and Cricket [spending time with each other], and Phyllis is in rehabilitation mode where she’s trying to be a good person now and I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s see it.’ It’s very interesting dynamics. Phyllis is like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re still not over her!’ So, it’s kind of fun.
