Lauralee Bell Prefers Modeling To Law
When Christine arrived in Genoa City in 1983, she quickly found work as a Jabot model. Christine’s modeling gig earned her fame and the attention of her future husband Danny (Michael Damian).
However, Christine later traded the runway for the courtroom. Miss Blair became GC’s top attorney, representing many residents. But now her role as DA has her prosecuting many of the city’s elite residents.
Although Christine is often busy with legal work, she took a break to return to her roots. She was one of the many models called up for Diane’s (Susan Walters) Jabot reunion photoshoot.
Having Christine, Sharon (Sharon Case), and Lily (Christel Khalil) get glammed up for the camera was not only fun for the characters, but also their portrayers. In fact, Bell wouldn’t mind seeing Christine return to the modeling world.
In an interview on Y&R Insider’s Instagram, Bell expressed her excitement at the photoshoot. “I’m sure this is no surprise, but I would take modeling over legal dialogue any day. So put me in any outfit and put me with no lines posing.”
Will Christine Give Up Law For Jabot?
Bell is hopeful that maybe her wish of Christine returning to modeling will come true. “If Danny’s a rockstar, then Christine can go back to modeling and be the face of Jabot.”
However, it seems unlikely Christine will be switching careers anytime soon. Mrs. Romalotti is loving being the new DA and is always on the lookout to bring justice.
Meanwhile, Danny is ready to give up the road and settle back down in GC. Now that he’s manager of The Shadow Room, he’s ready to bring live entertainment to the bar.
Christine is a proud wife and supportive of Danny as he begins his new venture. The same goes for Danny, who wants to see his bride happy. If one day, Christine decides to give up law for modeling, Danny will undoubtedly be there to cheer her on.
