As much as we love to watch our Young & Restless faves portraying the characters we invite into our living rooms each day, it’s always special to be able to see the stars real-life personalities shining through in the activities they partake in offscreen. If you’re a viewer can’t get enough of the behind the scenes content, well, Michelle Stafford, has a real holiday treat for you!

Onscreen, Phyllis Summers is a ball of tension and emotion these days as she navigates not only unemployment (yet again), but of course the knowledge that her former rival Sharon Newman was responsible for the death of her son’s lady love… and framed him for the murder after the fact.

She now realizes that it wasn’t Sharon who tried to run her off the road in a car wreck that landed her in a coma (though she’s loathe to concede the point), but she still firmly believes Sharon killed Heather, having no idea that Ian Ward and Jordan Howard are actually behind the devastating events of that fateful night. Unwillingly to entertain the idea that Sharon wasn’t in her right mind due to her medication being tampered with, Phyllis is hell bent on getting “justice” and as a result has found herself isolated from even her closest friends, Michael (who is representing Sharon) and Lauren.

In real-life, however, Stafford is constantly surrounded by her co-workers and if the videos you’re about to see are any indication, they’re always having a ton of fun together.

Stafford went to the trouble of putting together a collection of clips of her and her “homies” dancing together throughout the past year, and we think it’s just an excellent way to look back on some of most joyful moments of 2024. Even better, their energy is contagious! We’re not the only ones who think so… many soap stars watched the montage on social media and shared the love, and their enthusiastic responses, after viewing. So. Much. Fun.

Stafford captioned the collection of video clips: “All my beautiful homies… dancing through life with me.” Catch glimpses of Courtney Hope (Sally), Sean Dominic (Nate), Mark Grossman (Adam), Christian Le Blanc (Michael), Amelia Heinle (Victoria), and more below:
