Young & Restless’ Michelle Stafford Sends a Heartfelt Message: ‘Thank You for the Support’

This past weekend, The Young and the Restless’ Michael Stafford (Phyllis) gathered with family and friends to celebrate her birthday, which was on Saturday, September 14. The CBS soap star was dressed pretty in pink and was presented with not only one but two yummy cakes.

Stafford posted a video so her fans could get a glimpse into the festivities and her kids Natalia and Jameson were front and center in celebrating their mom, as well as castmates Michael Graziadei, who plays the actress’ onscreen son Daniel. Plus, Greg Rikaart (Kevin, Days of Our Lives’ Leo), Christian Leblanc (Michael), Bryton James (Devon), Lauralee Bell (Christine) and General Hospital’s Fiona Hughes (Anna). And at the end of the video, Stafford’s words “I have the greatest pals. I love you” was shown on the screen.
