Who’s coming and who’s going from The Young and the Restless (YR)? Are any favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the near future?
Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring, or day-player roles? Are any well-remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join The Young and the Restless fold in surprise new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the CBS soap.
The week of May 3, 2021
Karla Mosley (ex-Maya, The Bold and the Beautiful) continues her run as Amanda Sinclair. As previously reported, the actress is stepping in for Mishael Morgan, who had to take a temporary leave from the soap while she recovered from emergency eye surgery.
There is good news, however, for fans of Morgan. The actress has already returned to work at the show’s studio and shared a photo from her first day back on the job on Instagram, joking that “It’s like riding a bike!” Viewers can expect to see Morgan back onscreen as Amanda sometime later this month.
Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
YR made its debut in 1973 and introduced more sexual undertones and younger characters to daytime soap operas. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, four decades of storylines have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.
From Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) family machinations to Rey Rosales’s (Jordi Vilasuso) heroism to the adorable love story of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Summer (Hunter King), YR knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more.
It is one of four soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include General Hospital (GH), Days of our Lives (DAYS), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB). YR airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
