Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) recently shot a Fox pilot in Memphis. It's an hourlong drama whose working title is
Southern Comfort.
"You have the exclusive on that, my friend!" Stafford tells TVGuide.com. "The leading lady is
Madeleine Stowe. She plays Charlotte, a Southern belle whose husband is in the Mafia, unbeknownst to her. He gets caught and she basically becomes a Mafia princess. I play her perky, happy best friend, Susan, and I have a twangy accent!"
Other celebs appearing in the pilot include
Eric Roberts and Calvin Klein model
Travis Fimmel, who briefly starred in WB's
Tarzan.
Stafford left
Y&R once before, back in 1997, to star in
Aaron Spelling's superfun but short-lived nighttime sudser
Pacific Palisades. But the Daytime Emmy winner's fans need not fret just yet about the prospect of her leaving again. Let's all
chill and wait to see if Fox greenlights the pilot to go to series first, OK? (I say that to reassure myself as much you — 'cause I love me some Michelle!)
