‘The Young And The Restless’ News: Michael Graziadei Returning To ‘Y&R’ As Phyllis’ Son Daniel Romalatti

This is some soapy good news!  Michael Graziadei is set to reprise the role of Daniel Romalatti on ‘The Young and the Restless’ this coming summer. EW was the first to break the casting news sharing that the adopted son of Phyllis Newman [Gina Tognoni] and Danny [Michael Damian] is about to return to Genoa City.

According to the report, Graziadei returns later this summer but only for a while. His first episode is slated to air August 25th and will continue into the show’s 11,000th episode milestone which will be on September 1, 2016 and possibly beyond.

It looks like Mal Young, who recently took over from Jill Farren Phelps as the show’s executive producer, is hard at work in terms of casting and storylines. Young’s first casting move was to reach out to Graziadei for a return, but for a short period. What will Daniel’s story be when he gets back to Genoa City? Will he learn of his mother’s affair with Billy Abbott [Jason Thompson]? Will he get caught up with any of his former lovers for instance Lily [Christel Khalil]? Will he find new romance on his limited visit back to GC?

The last time Daniel Romalatti was seen was in 2013. The character first exited the canvas on January 3, 2013 but returned later that summer when his mother fell into a coma. His return was only for a couple episodes which brought his last appearance on August 2, 2013.
