The Young and the Restless Shocker: Michael Damian Quits Y&R for Explosive New Netflix Project
It’s quite common for soap opera stars to step away from the beloved character that made them household names. The Young and the Restless star Michael Damian, aka Danny Romalotti, is no stranger to this phenomenon. He has played Danny on and off from 1981 through 2024. The actor remains one of the soap’s most cherished figures. But his career doesn’t stop there—he continues to land roles in new projects that excite fans. Read on to learn about the latest one!
Michael Announces New Project with Miranda Cosgrove
The Young and the Restless star recently gave his followers a sneak peek into his latest adventure. He posted a selfie on X/Twitter, and boy, he looks so happy! The caption read: “Day 1 of filming @netflix #TheWrongParis 🎥🇷🇴🍾! @MirandaCosgrove @PiersonFode.” Can you imagine Damian and iCarly fame Miranda in one frame?
There’s no denying that Damian keeps fans on their toes with his return to Y&R. However, he is also diving into new roles, proving he’s more than just Genoa City’s fan-favourite. Before Michael graces daytime screens again, he’ll stay busy filming his new project, The Wrong Paris, for Netflix. So, we’ll have to wait for his next return to the CBS soap while staying tuned for his latest venture.
Meanwhile, his most recent soap appearance was nothing short of special. Damian and Lauralee Bell crossed over to Y&R’s sister soap, The Bold and the Beautiful, for two unforgettable episodes. The duo made a grand entrance at the Forrester Estate as part of Brooke’s Bedroom relaunch. Additionally, Michael performed a remixed version of his 1989 hit, “Rock On.”
It was a nostalgic moment that left fans dancing in their seats. It was also a perfect nod to Damian’s musical roots and a reminder of why we have adored him for decades! Despite his filming for the new project, fans are eager to see more of Danny on the show. One fan even asked the big question: when is he coming back?
Damian responded playfully by tagging Y&R’s official account with a few teasing question marks. He hinted that more Romalotti magic may be just around the corner, maybe once he’s done with the new project
