What is going on with Daniel on The Young and the Restless?

In 2022, Daniel's romance with Lily started to bloom when he pitched her a game idea, and she accepted it and made him a part of her company. However, with the surprise return of his wife Heather and daughter Lucy, Daniel decided to be a family-oriented man but was not able to separate from Lucy.

After that, when Lily was busy with work, he got closer to his family. A furious Lily removed him from the company and kept the game rights to herself. However, when the case went to court, she settled it outside the court. Due to all this, Lily lost her position in the company when Billy took over.

Currently, Phyllis is trying to convince Billy to hire Daniel back to the company and work with him on a game so that they can compete with Newman's company.

The Young and the Restless: About Daniel in brief

Daniel Romalotti is the son of Phyllis Summers and Danny Romalotti. The character was portrayed as a teen by Michael Graziadei on The Young and the Restless.

Since his introduction, he came off as a rebel who harbored resentment towards his mother's overly protective nature. The character's on-screen time started when he had a trouble-plagued romance with Lily Winters, whom he ran away with and involved in various legal issues. Their love never subsided, and they went on to marry each other amid a lot of melodrama.

Things took a darker turn in Daniel's life when he was involved in the tragic death of Cassie Newman. Even though he had not been driving at this particular time, Cassie's trying to save him led to her fatal car accident—a fact that would plague Daniel for many years afterward. He turned to alcohol and destructive behavior but eventually sought redemption.

Professionally, he had followed his love of art into a career as a video game designer. He and Lily eventually split, and Daniel moved on, romancing Heather Stevens and fathering her daughter Lucy, whom Daniel was unaware of. Lucy became the focal point of Daniel's storyline as he fought for custody and ultimately chose to raise her as a single parent.
