The stunning star showed her appreciation for some others as well. “Thank you for everything Cathy, Joe, Matt, Matt, Nikki, Amy, and all the incredible volunteers! If I didn’t get you in the video, I’m so sorry. There was such limited time! Signing programs and taking pictures came first :)”
Lauralee Bell had more to say through a representative, adding, “Great to have a Fan Club event for The Young and the Restless again for the first time since the pandemic began and perfect timing with our 50th anniversary.
What do you think? Post a comment!
“Obviously, we are celebrating this milestone year, but when I heard how many countries were being represented by fans flying in for this event, I decided the lyrics ‘everyone around the world, come on’ from the iconic party song ‘Celebration’ by Kool and The Gang were a perfect fit.
“Loved that the fans were on board when I asked them to do a spontaneous wave! Hope they can spot themselves in the video as I panned across the room!
“With all these videos, I try to show as much behind-the-scenes fun for the fans and thank them as often as possible. I have to say, I couldn’t believe how many guests this weekend said they started watching since day one…1973! That’s a huge chunk of their lives devoted to Y&R! We really do have the best fans!” Check out the photo gallery from the actress below.
