After making several return visits to “The Young and the Restless” as his popular character Danny Romalotti during the show’s much celebrated 50th anniversary season, Soap Opera Network has learned that actor Michael Damian is returning to the daytime drama series once again, this time for an extended stay. 

According to a representative, fans can expect to see Damian’s Danny interacting with the denizens of Genoa City more frequently, beginning with the Thursday, September 28 episode, which also happens to be around the time the show kicks off Season 51. To be clear, it has not been specifically stated that Damian is on contract with the series.

Outside of soaps, Damian has made a name for himself both in music and as a director and producer, which includes work on such titles as “Moondance Alexander,” “A Princess for Christmas,” “The Sweeter Side of Life,” “A Royal Christmas,” “Crown for Christmas,” “The Christmas Waltz” and “Falling for Christmas,” among others. Since 1984, Damian has released 10 studio albums, and his music was featured in the 1989 soundtrack album to the film “Dream a Little Dream.” 

Earlier this year, Damian and his wife Janeen signed a three-picture deal with Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA), extending their collaboration with the company that has produced numerous hits for Hallmark Media and Netflix, among others, including several aforementioned Christmas-themed movies. 

The next two films from the Damians include “Paris Christmas Waltz” for Great American Family starring Jen Lilley (“Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital”) and Matthew Morrison (“As The World Turns,” “Glee”), which will debut as part of the network’s “Great American Christmas” holiday-themed movie event, and the Netflix original film “Irish Wish” starring Lindsay Lohan and Ed Speleers (“Downton Abbey,” “Picard”).

Damian originated the role of Danny Romalotti on “The Young and the Restless” in 1981. He’s made frequent return visits, including his 2002 to 2004 stint, and brief visits in 2008, 2012 to 2013, and again from 2022 to 2023.

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
