Danny Romalotti's timeline on The Young and the Restless explored

Danny's story on The Young and the Restless began in 1981 as a teen idol and rockstar in Genoa City. Many of his friends and loved ones sometimes join him on tour and stage. In 1984, he briefly married Traci Abbott before their marriage was annulled after a miscarriage.

In 1994, Danny started dating Christine 'Cricket' Blair, and the two fell in love. They went through a difficult time when Danny was falsely arrested for possession of drugs, but he was acquitted. The couple married each other in a huge ceremony in 1990.

Around 1992, Danny left town to appear in a Broadway stage play. This reflected the same change in actor Michael Damien's real life after he was cast in Broadway's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat. During this time, he was drugged by Phyllis Summers, who then claimed to be pregnant with his child. Danny divorced Christine and married Phyllis to fulfill his duty as a father. He found out about Phyllis's manipulative nature in 1996 and divorced her.

Danny later discovered that his son with Phyllis was Brian Hamilton's biological child, which left him devastated. In a custody battle with Christine as his lawyer, Danny had won custody of the child since the court ruled Phyllis was an unstable mother. After this, Danny left town with his son.

Since then, Danny Romalotti has returned in guest appearances and cameos on the soap. He returned in 2008 for a funeral and again in 2012 for his son David. He recently appeared in a crossover episode with The Bold and the Beautiful this month at the Forrester mansion.
