Young and the Restless Fans Decide Christine’s Wedding Gown for Her Remarriage to Danny

Weddings and soap operas go hand in hand, and The Young and the Restless is once again blending the magic of on-screen romance with real-life fan participation. Viewers won’t just be spectators this time — they’re being invited to play a direct role in Christine and Danny’s upcoming wedding.

Fan Power Meets Soap Romance

On Friday, September 19th, fans were given the unique opportunity to vote on which wedding dress Christine (Lauralee Bell) will wear when she walks down the aisle to remarry Danny (Michael Damian) this November. The first round of voting lasted 24 hours, narrowing the choices down to two breathtaking gowns.

Now comes what some are calling the Super Bowl of Soap Weddings: the final fan vote to determine the gown Christine will don for her big day. Beginning today at 12:00 p.m. ET, fans can view the two remaining contenders and cast their votes in an Instagram poll. Voting will be open for 24 hours, and only the results from Instagram will be counted.

The winning gown won’t just be a wardrobe choice — it will be forever immortalized in Danny and Christine’s wedding photos, a lasting piece of soap history.

Bell on the Importance of Fans

Lauralee Bell has emphasized just how important fans are in this process. “When we heard that we were going to get remarried, I just thought, ‘These people have devoted so much of their lives to our show,’” Bell explained. “Whenever there’s a way where we can incorporate them or make them understand how much they mean to us, we can’t do this without them.”

Although Bell has tried on all three dresses that were originally up for consideration, she has purposely avoided picking a favorite. She wants the fans to have the final say in what Christine wears when she says “I do” to Danny — something she hasn’t done since their first wedding back in 1990.

Soap Opera Drama Lurking in the Shadows

Of course, in true soap opera fashion, fans are already speculating about whether the ceremony will go off without a hitch. Danny may want Christine’s rival Phyllis to stay away, but anyone who knows The Young and the Restless understands that Phyllis doesn’t always respect boundaries. Will she stay away this time, or will she show up with a “special gift” for the couple — one that Christine might not appreciate? Longtime viewers can’t forget the infamous incident when Phyllis left a dead octopus in Christine and Paul’s bed.

Dresses That Didn’t Make the Cut

While the two finalists are vying for the spotlight, Bell revealed that she’s had fun behind the scenes trying on gowns with wardrobe designer Mandy Line. Even the dresses that didn’t make it to the final vote had their own charm, and Bell has enjoyed the process of seeing Christine’s bridal look come to life through fan involvement.

How to Cast Your Vote

Fans who want their voices heard can cast their vote today at 12:30 p.m. PT / 3:30 p.m. ET via Instagram. Each fan is allowed one vote, and the results will directly determine which gown Christine wears on-screen this fall.

So, which dress will Christine wear when she and Danny finally say “I do” again? That’s entirely up to the fans. Be sure to head to Instagram to cast your vote, and don’t forget to leave a comment letting everyone know which gown you picked.
