Christel’s History On Young and the Restless
Christel Khalil joined the Young and the Restless in 2002 but left briefly in 2005. She has guided the character of Lily Ashby from rebellious teenager to a dedicated mother and model. While driving, Lily and Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) got into a horrible argument that caused Lily to become distracted and crash. Unfortunately, Hilary and her unborn baby died due to injuries sustained in the accident.
Lily received a 12-month prison sentence due to her actions. Even while incarcerated, she appeared on-screen often before moving to a prison further from Genoa City. After two months off-screen let’s hope she will be out of prison and back into the thick of things.
Ashby/Hamilton Family Suffering
The Ashby and Hamilton families have suffered due to Lily’s absence. Cane even suggested moving the family to be closer to her. Ultimately, Lily’s father, Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) moved to offer support to her. Now that Christel is back on set Young and the Restless fans can hope an early release is in her future!
