She acknowledges that Christine hasn’t had many reasons to smile in recent years, especially with the challenges she’s faced. However, there’s a change in the air, and it might begin with a Christine-centric episode scheduled for November 2. Bell reflects on the lighter times, reminiscing about the youthful and carefree days of Christine and Danny.

With Danny back in town, viewers are reminded of that lightheartedness. Bell hopes some of Danny’s positive energy will rub off on Christine as they spend more time together. Exploring Christine’s decision to focus on her career instead of having children is something Bell believes would be intriguing.

She points out that many people can relate to pondering what might have happened if they had made different choices in life.

Although Bell didn’t initially seek a Christine-centric episode, she’s excited for viewers to see what headwriter Josh Griffith has come up with.

The episode offers a different approach, delving into the past with a storyline that involves multiple characters’ perspectives. One of those characters is Nina, played by Tricia Cast. Bell expresses her enthusiasm for the portrayal of female friendships on soaps.

As for Christine’s future, Bell envisions the potential of Christine and Michael Baldwin working together at a law firm, exploring their quirky work relationship and complicated history. Additionally, with Phyllis in the picture, anything could happen. It’s unlikely Phyllis would remain on the sidelines, no matter the circumstances.
