What You Need To Know About The Young And The Restless' Lucy Romalotti
Lucy Romalotti's father, Daniel Romalotti, is the son of two of the show's most popular legacy characters — Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damien) — although it was later revealed Daniel's biological father wasn't Danny at all. As a young man, Daniel experienced difficulties in his marriage to Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz), and he attracted the unwanted attention of Daisy Callahan (Yvonne Zima), who became obsessed with him.
The half-sister of Daniel's good friend, Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart), Daisy drugged Daniel and forced him to have sex with her, which resulted in Lucy's conception. Several months later, Daisy returned and revealed her pregnancy. The last thing Daniel wanted was to be a father to her child, but he allowed her to stay with him nonetheless. When Daisy was eventually arrested, Phyllis decided she wanted to adopt her granddaughter, which caused a rift between Daniel and Kevin, who also wanted to raise his niece as his own.
When Daisy went into labor on the side of a road one night, Daniel found her and helped deliver his daughter. However, Daisy managed to run off with newborn Lucy, whom she then abandoned outside of a church in Canada. As fate and soap operas would have it, Lucy was found by opportunists and sold on the black market — only to end up back in Genoa City as the adopted daughter of Billy Abbott (then Billy Miller) and his wife, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).
