These days, Matt Cohen is playing Detective Burrow on The Young and the Restless. Now, the actor is getting into the holiday spirit with his new film, which features some cute co-stars.
Key Takeaways
- Matt Cohen is starring in the holiday movie Christmas at the Zoo.
- A former One Life to Live actress is Cohen’s co-star in the film.
- Y&R fans want to see more of Detective Burrow.
Matt Cohen’s Unique Holiday Rom-Com
Cohen is trading Genoa City for Chicago in his latest project. The actor is starring in the new holiday flick Christmas at the Zoo, now streaming on Tubi.
Set in Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo, the film follows the love story between zookeeper Shane (Cohen) and entrepreneur Alicia (Brittany Underwood). The pair find themselves clashing over an exhibit as romance blooms.
”There are not a lot of rom-coms that have been told like this, almost entirely about the Brookfield Zoo,” Cohen told Windy City LIVE. “And this movie’s going to make you cry. It’s going to make you laugh.”
One of the benefits of the movie is that Cohen got up close with many of the zoo’s animals, including the penguins. “I’m in the mix of a lot of penguins, and I knew them all by name. I’ve got a real way with the penguins that would surprise you.”
Will Fans See Detective Burrow Again?
Cohen joined Y&R in 2025 as Detective Burrow. The Los Angeles detective investigated the car accident involving Noah (Lucas Adams), then began a case against Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) drug ring.
Burrow then traded California for Wisconsin and became GC’s newest detective. Earlier this year, Burrow helped reunite Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon (Bryton James) with Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark) after he was kidnapped by Mariah (Camryn Grimes).
Most recently, he appeared on the October 2 episode, questioning Nick (Joshua Morrow) about the disappearance of Joe (Chris Grant Wenchell). Nick claimed the drug dealer ran off, but as seen in the flashbacks, Nick is lying.
Burrow might be making more appearances as he investigates Nick’s involvement in Matt’s disappearance. Burrow’s search could lead to legal trouble and maybe prison time for Nick.
While fans are happy to have Burrow as GC’s new detective, they also want a love interest for the handsome cop. Sharon (Sharon Case) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) are just a few of the ladies that Burrow could possibly be paired with. Perhaps when Burrow returns, a romance storyline could begin for GC’s finest.
