The Young and the Restless actress Michelle Stafford is a Beyond The Gates fan. Although she hasn’t crossed over to Fairmont Crest yet, she and Daphnee Duplaix gave a sneak peek of what a future visit might look like.
Key Takeaways
- Y&R and BTG have done several crossovers since 2025.
- Stafford and Duplaix recently recreated a soap skit on social media.
- Stafford and Duplaix’s interaction has fans buzzing about a possible crossover.
Best Friends or Dueling Divas
In its first year on the air, BTG has already had crossovers with other CBS soaps. In August 2025, Y&R’s Devon (Bryton James) visited his friends Vernon (Clifton Davis) and Anita (Tamara Tunie). Then in October, The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) make an appearance to discuss business with Dani (Karla Mosley).
BTG is gearing up for another big crossover this summer with six Y&R stars. James, Melissa Ordway, Eric Braeden, Peter Bergman, Susan Walters, and Michael Mealor are scheduled for the June 2026 episodes which has their characters attending a Fairmont Crest political fundraiser.
The soap crossovers have fans excited, and many are wondering who’ll be the next character to visit Fairmont Crest. Based on Stafford’s recent social media post, fans already know who they want.
On Stafford’s Instagram, the actress and Duplaix posted a video recreating a famous Dynasty scene. “Me and my sister from another mister, my new best friend! The beautiful @theonlydaphneeduplaix❤️. This is our @beyondthegatescbs @youngandrestlesscbs collab,” Stafford captioned the post.
The collaboration has fans hopeful that one day the two will share scenes together in a soap crossover. “Nicole and Phyllis, the duo we did not know we needed,” wrote one commenter.
“Yes!! 2 of my favorite characters! I am here for this!!” one fan replied.
“This is amazing!! Two greats paying homage to two greats!❤️❤️❤️ Ok Michelle, looking forward to seeing you on the show,” wrote one viewer.
Storylines For Phyllis and Nicole
Phyllis visiting Fairmont Crest to shake things up would make for great drama and a great crossover. With Phyllis still in charge of Newman, she could visit the town to possibly do business with Kat (Colby Muhammad) and Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla).
But Phyllis’ attempts to sign Chelsea and Kat might be interrupted by Kat’s mama Nicole. If Nicole becomes suspicious of Phyllis, she’ll voice her concerns to her daughter, who might reconsider doing business with Newman.
With Nicole ruining a potential deal with Kat, it’s bound to set off Phyllis temper. Yet Nicole’s been known to raise her voice too. If tempers flare between Phyllis and Nicole, they could recreate one of Dynasty’s iconic catfights.
