The Young and the Restless star Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) has given fans an oldie but a goodie throwback.
It’s not Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday, but Stafford came across an iconic photo she needed to share with The Young and the Restless fans.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a hilarious photo of her posing with a very young Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and Greg Rikaart (Kevin), as well as Christian Le Blanc (Michael) with his dark hair. Smack dab in the middle was beloved soap legend Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) holding court like the queen she was.
In the picture, Stafford is hugging Rikaart, who has a goofy look on his face, while Graziadei sits hilariously between Le Blanc and Cooper. The photo was a blast from the past for sure.
“I know it’s not #TBT but I am cleaning out a room today and came across this picture. I had to share. Oh my gosh, I love it so much.!! I love all these people so much. These were beautiful, beautiful days.❤️ #YR @christianjleblanc @goodgriefcharliebrown @gregrikaart and the Great #jeannecooper ❤️🕊️,” read the caption on Stafford’s throwback.
General Hospital fan favorite Finola Hughes (Anna) was one of the first to comment on the iconic photo, saying, “Soooo good!!!” Soap fans also hit up the comments to gush over the image.
“These were the golden days!” wrote one fan. Another spilled, “Love this so much. Everyone in the photo makes me smile. ♥️♥️”
A different fan stated, “Ohh such precious memories and people! ❤️” “What a nostalgic photo 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰,” insisted a fan.
“I love how Jeanne and Kristoff are still honored every day with photographs, conversation and flashbacks. We miss them so very much. ❤️,” shared a fan commenting on how Cooper and Kristoff St. John’s (Neil) legacies are still very much alive on the hit CBS soap.
That was echoed by a The Young and the Restless fan who expressed, “I love how all these years later, Jennie is still has an impact on everyone lives on and off the show. A legend forever! ❤️.”
“Omg, I LOVE this picture!!! ❤️,” said one fan. Another fan wrote, “i love you guys so much. what a time it wasss 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾.”
More fan comments included, “Such babies! And THE DUCHESS! ❤️,” and “I miss old Y&R .. those were the best days.”
Stafford certainly gave The Young and the Restless fans a treat with her throwback. Cooper died in 2013, and she is greatly missed on the show.
Le Blanc, Stafford, and Graziadei are still on the CBS soap, but Rikaart is now on Days of Our Lives as Leo.
