Michael Graziadei to make brief Y&R return

Michael Graziadei is headed back to The Young and the Restless, but fans shouldn't get too attached. The actor's brief stint will begin in July. Graziadei previously appeared as Y&R's Daniel from 2004 to 2012.

Michael Graziadei (Daniel Romalotti) is returning to The Young and the Restless this summer for a short-term stint.

Soaps In Depth reports that Graziadei will be "appearing in four episodes."

It is widely believed that Graziadei's return will coincide with the exit of his on-screen mom, Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers). Stafford taped her final Y&R scenes on June 19.
