Interview: The Young and the Restless’ Michelle Stafford

The Young and the RestlessMichelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) made a few appearances in Ontario this past weekend and we got a chance to speak to her briefly before her fan event at the Georgetown Market Place on Saturday, May 7th. Check it out:

During the fan event, Michelle also answered some fan questions. Here are some highlights:

— Enjoys working with both of her leading men, Peter Bergman (Jack) and Joshua Morrow (Nick).
— There is no war between her and Victoria Rowell (ex-Dru).
— Her Stanley Cup picks included the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks.
— Would love to do Dancing with the Stars but doubts that CBS would let her appear on the ABC series.
— Was very tight-lipped on Daniel Goddard’s return to the show. Had no reaction to my “he’s coming back as Cane’s twin comment.”
Billy Miller (Billy) is not married. Yes, someone actually asked her  this question.
— Was sad to hear about the cancellations of All My Children and One Life to Live; says that she grew up with them.
— Confirmed Jana’s (Emily O’Brien) death. This one looks like it’ll stick, not a hoax.
— Is very close with her on-screen son, Michael Graziadei (Daniel). Since she’s only ten years older than him, it’s more of an older sister/younger brother relationship. She calls him, “The Graz,” and he can be really naughty at times, so she has to put him in his place like a big sister would.
— Came clean about leaving Twitter. Although she said it was to focus more on her newborn daughter, the actress left the social networking site due to negative fans. Although the majority of the fans were very nice, she encountered some rude and irrelevant comments (such as “your hair is so bad in this episode”) and didn’t want to deal with it.
— Says that if the show revists Summer’s paternity and they make Jack the father instead of Nick, it would mean that the show has “jumped the shark.”
— Will stay with Y&R for as long as they allow her. Really enjoys it.

    Wow, I can’t believe someone asked her about ‘Billy’s’ marital status?! Looks like it was a nice sunny day in Georgetown when she came! Did she say if she was coming to Ottawa anytime?
