‘The Young And The Restless’ Interview: Lauralee Bell Discusses Playing Christine Blair, Teases Upcoming Storyline

“The Young and the Restless” soap opera star, Lauralee Bell explains what it is like to portray one of the most hated characters on the CBS soap opera. Bell noted that she appreciates that Christine Blair is an iconic character, but finds it a hard pill to swallow when faced with the realization that her character is completely hated by many fans.

Lauralee Bell noted that working as an attorney is difficult for her. The legal jargon is often hard for her to get right the first time, which leads to multiple takes and hours of rehearsals. She explained a time recently during Adam’s [Justin Hartley] trial, she and Michael [Christian LeBlanc] were working hard all day trying to get the court room scenes just right. After the scene was wrapped up, the producers gave them a round of applause.  “I can get tripped up with all the legal jargon, being in a courtroom is not my favorite thing,” the actress told Soap Opera Digest.

Bell said that she often has a hard time with fans’ opinion of her portrayal of Christine. She explained she understands that fans have changed their opinion of the once beloved character because Christine has changed throughout the years; however, it is still difficult.

Lauralee teased that she has a storyline in the works that will soften her character up, and bring her fan base to support her once again. She had been asking the writer, Chuck Pratt, Jr. to give her a storyline that is personal and away from her line of work on the show.

One thing is certain; no matter what the storyline is, Bell brings her best acting to the scenes. She has made the fans despise her because that’s what the scenes and storylines suggested. “Y&R” fans would like to see the show soften up Christine’s character to make her much more likable?
