By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Michelle Stafford and Michael Graziadei, on-screen mother and son for over 20 years, gave a behind-the-scenes look at the long-running soap during the Monte-Carlo Television Festival.
The Monte-Carlo Television Festival drew two familiar faces from The Young and the Restless this week, with Michelle Stafford and Michael Graziadei making appearances on the sidelines of the annual event. The pair, who have played Phyllis Summers and Daniel Romalotti Jr. for more than two decades, spoke candidly about life on one of American television's longest-running daytime dramas.
Stafford and Graziadei reflected on the unlikely longevity of the show, the chemistry that develops between cast members over such an extended run, and what may lie ahead for their characters. The Young and the Restless airs daily on TF1 in France, giving it a substantial following among viewers in Monaco and across the wider Riviera region.
The Monte-Carlo Television Festival, held each June at the Grimaldi Forum, regularly attracts cast members from major international series alongside industry figures, making it one of the more visible annual fixtures on the Principality's cultural calendar.
