Christel Khalil Returns to The Young and the Restless This Week

Fans of “The Young and the Restless” can rejoice as Christel Khalil returns to the show, reprising her role as Lily Winters. After a brief hiatus from the series, Khalil is back on set and taping new episodes.

In December, viewers saw Lily leave town to be with her daughter Mattie during a fictional wildfire at Stanford University. This storyline was created to accommodate Khalil’s real-life maternity leave. In June 2023, she announced her pregnancy with her second child, this time with fiancé Sam Restagno. The couple has yet to share the exact date of their child’s birth but did reveal that they were expecting a baby boy in November 2023.

Recently, Khalil shared an Instagram story that hinted at her return to the show. In the photo, she stood alongside co-stars Bryton James (Devon) and Eric Braeden (Victor), captioning it “Back At It!”

As Lily makes her way back to Genoa City during the week of March 11-15, 2024, fans wonder what surprises await her character upon her return. While Lily was away, a secret relationship between Daniel (played by Michael Graziadei) and his ex Heather (Vail Bloom) unfolded behind her back. Will Lily catch them in the act or just miss witnessing their public displays of affection? To find out, be sure to tune in!

“The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays at 12:30pm on CBS and is available for streaming live and on demand through Paramount+.
