Sheila Carter is alive but who did Steffy Forrester Kill that night?
A jump-scary welcome to 2024 from Lauralee Bell to Y&R co-stars | Y&R BTS Extravaganza!
If there is someone who knows how to have fun on sets during some free time, then it has got to be Lauralee bell. That’s why, for this New years, she had a little prank for all her fellow cast members.
Lauralee Bell pranks actors on the Y&R set
Lauralee Bell, the daughter of the Y&R creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, has got to be one of our favorite stars from the show. She has been portraying the role of the unhinged Christine Blaire since 1983. From what was just supposed to be a small role in Y&R, she was so good that Y&R put her in as the real deal, which she is.
She said she never even thought of acting but when she was cast as an extra at just the age of 9 with no lines, she slowly started to love it. And eventually, the character of Cricket, aka Christine, was written for her, and she hasn’t looked back ever since.
I mean it’s been 40 years with her on the show, so you know the set of Y&R is her second home. Last November, in an interview reflecting on her career milestone, she said that the time has “gone by in a blink.” And till now, the fun never stops on set.

From all those serious scenes that take place on the Genoa City canvas, even the actors need a break, right? And Bell did just that. Bell is always goofing around on set, like when she and Michael Damian, aka Danny, took a couple’s test, or when they made that hilarious video of Phyllis coming in between them. So, as we reach into the new year of 2024, Bell did her one last prank for the year of 2023, that had all the cast startled and scared, like literally.

On her Instagram, Bell posted a little behind the scenes video of her pulling a prank on her Y&R pals, and wrote, “Never much time between scenes but just enough to have a little fun. Happy New Year! [Young and the Restless] is so grateful for you! We were taping our new year’s show, why not bring a horn?”
She started off her video by saying, “Just having a little fun,” holding a noisemaker in her hand. Then the terror begins! Her first target was Michael Damian and Christian LeBlanc, who totally fell for it. Then she went on to scare Joshua Morrow, Peter E Bergman, Lily Brooks O’Briant, Bryton James, Elizabeth Hendrickson, Amelia Heinle, Allison Lanier, and even Judith Chapman. Joshua, Judith and Michelle Stafford definitely were scared the most. And if we look at it again, I think Bell just gave Peter a mini heart attack. But the true legend who didn’t even flinch was Bryton.
She gave a little shout out to her friend for putting the video together. We hope we get to see some more onset pranks because we just love them. It was really fun watching this. Who got scared the most, according to you, on the video? Let us know in the comments below.
