Joshua Morrow Respects Roger Howarth’s Artistry
Nick wants to end Matt Clark’s terror on Y&R. Roger Howarth will be returning to the soap after a disappointing send-off. The General Hospital alum has begun filming. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Morrow admitted that he’s “absolutely” looking forward to filming with Howarth again.
“He’s an incredible artist. I love what he’s done,” Morrow mused. “He’s played Matt Clark with a completely different, unhinged, maniacal quality that none of the other portrayals played with him.”
Morrow made it clear that he wasn’t shading Eddie Cibrian’s or Rick Hearst’s portrayals of Matt Clark. Howarth has put a different twist on Matt Clark, one that fans love. They think he’s funny and charming, which can be hard to pull off when you’re a murderous villain.
“He’s just a fascinating guy to watch and work with,” Morrow continued. “I feel blessed that I get to see him again. He’s fascinating. I love what he’s done with Matt Clark.”
