Familiar and New Faces Arrive in Genoa City For May Sweeps

On Wednesday, May, 3, Genoa City will see two new arrivals. But, they’re not the only new and familiar faces we’ll see next month.

According to CBS Soaps in Depth, daytime newcomer Max Shippee blows into GC as Graham Bloodworth the same date that daytime vet Marla Adams reprises her role as Dina Mergeron.

Apparently, Graham is Dina’s trusted associate. However, at this point, nobody knows exactly what storyline will bring these two onto the canvas just yet!

You may recognize Shippee from his primetime appearances on Nip/Tuck, Hot In Cleveland, Rosewood, and Major Crimes. Additionally, the talented actor also has silver screen credits for Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous and Mr. Blue Sky. 

Amazingly, the same week, Julie Chen appears as herself, while Alec Mapa appears as Anthony and David Faustino reprises his role as Howard.

In addition, Soap Opera Digest reports that Corbin Bernsen (son of the late Jeanne Cooper) will be reprising his role as Paul’s brother, Father Todd, on June 5 and 6.

It looks like Y&R is pulling out all the stops this May as things heat up for what appears to be an awesome sweeps season! Are you looking forward to seeing both an old favorite as well as a fresh new face on the show?
