The Young And The Restless' Christel Khalil Celebrates Incredible Milestone

"The Young and the Restless" took to Twitter to celebrate Christel Khalil's time on the soap. In an August 15 tweet, their official Twitter account celebrated the occasion and posted a highlight reel of her character's greatest moments, writing, "Two decades of memories, and we cannot wait for many more to come! Please join us in celebrating @ChristelAdnana 's 20th anniversary with #YR!"

Khalil, who was featured in the video tribute, had a message for her "Y&R" supporters over the years. "I couldn't think of anyone I wanted to thank more than you, the fans," she explained. "Because through every romance, heartbreak, challenge and success, you've been there with Lily and me through it all. I am so grateful for all of your support for the past two decades, and I cannot wait for you to see what's next."

With two decades under her belt, Khalil has developed a unique perspective on who Lily is. After TV Insider complimented her for her honest portrayal and focus, Khalil graciously told the outlet that she takes her role seriously and doesn't worry about what else comes with it. "I just try to do my job," she explained. "I have fun doing it but I don't pay attention to the other stuff. Life's too short."
