Christine "Cricket" Marie Blair Romalotti Williams
Played by Lauralee Bell

Christine's first job was as a model for Jabot Junior Cosmetics. She became best friends with Nina Webster, who she caught sleeping with her fiancé, Phillip Chancellor III. Christine was raped by Derek Stuart who jumped out of a window to avoid prison. After this experience, she decided to become a lawyer.

Her first job as an attorney was at the law firm of Whitman, Walker, and Wilson, where she worked with Michael Baldwin. He was fired after sexually harassing Christine. Scorned, he rented the apartment next to hers and dug a hole to connect them.  Accessing her apartment this way, he sexually assaulted her. She was rescued by Paul Williams and Nathan Hastings, and Michael went to prison.  

Christine was married to longtime friend and rock star, Danny Romalotti. They were divorced after Phyllis Summers claimed she was pregnant with Danny's child. Christine worked on some cases with Paul Williams, and they fell in love and were married. Paul really wanted to have children but because of her career and his being temporarily impotent after being run over by Phyllis, they never did.

Michael returned a self-proclaimed changed man. Christine testified for him so that he could practice law again. Eventually, he persuaded her to join him in starting a law firm.  She was very successful there and got a client in Hong Kong. Paul chose not to join her in the firm and they grew distant. Christine turned down a job in Australia so that she could try and mend her marriage, but she found her husband in the arms of Isabella.

Christine and Michael have grown very close since working together and are currently engaged.
