Fans of The Young and the Restless do not have to worry about Michelle Stafford's future with the show. The Emmy-winning actress recently signed a new contract with the CBS soap. Fans will, however, have to go a period of time without seeing the actress on-screen.
Two-time Emmy winner Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) will not be leaving The Young and the Restless any time soon. The actress has signed a new contract with the top-rated CBS soap.
The new contract will also afford the actress the opportunity for some much-needed time off. According to an article in the New York Daily News by soap columnist Carolyn Hinsey, Stafford will be off-screen for about four to six weeks later this summer.
