Key Takeaways
- Christel Khalil has not spoken publicly about expanding her family.
- The actress shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Y&R set.
- When will Y&R fans see Lily back on-screen?
Back to Work
Days after Khalil (Lily) revealed in a powerful social media post that she has welcomed her third child, she confirmed she is filming Y&R again. The actress never publicly addressed her third pregnancy, and fans only found out in a fun cast Halloween video.
However, that changed the other day with a social media share from Khalil. She reshared a photo that read “Me this summer on a boat with a drinky drink in hand because I won’t be pregnant.”
Due to her pregnancy, Lily was sent out of town to visit her and Cane’s (Billy Flynn) twins to allow for Khalil’s maternity leave. Along with her pregnancy confirmation, Khalil let Y&R fans know Lily’s headed back to Genoa City.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Khalil posted a photo of her with Flynn backstage at Y&R. It was smiles all around for the two co-stars, with the actress writing, “Guess who’s back…?!”
The news means that Y&R fans will soon see Lily and Cane mixing it up again, and it’s perfect timing. Victor (Eric Braeden) has lured Lily into his latest feud with Cane, who used the AI program with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) to steal Newman Enterprises from the mustache.
There’s speculation that not only are Lily and Victor working together, but that Jill (Jess Walton) is also involved in their plan to get even with Cane. Lily has been off-screen for all of this, but that won’t last much longer.
Based on Khalil’s social media share, Y&R fans can expect to see Lily either later this month or in early March. The CBS soap films four to six weeks in advance, so the wait for Lily’s return is almost over.
