Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring or day player roles? Are any well remembered or beloved 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 April 2, 2018
Rose Abdoo is playing Dr. Mosley. She airs in hospital scenes on Wednesday, April 4 and Thursday, April 5. Fans of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life might remember Abdoo as Gypsy/Berta. The actress also recurred on Scandal back in 2015 as Senator Linda Moskowitz.

Shanica Knowles is back as Simone on Friday, April 6.

After a week of nostalgia, past Y&R cast members, who returned for the show’s 45th anniversary celebration, have departed.

Gone, but not forgotten are yesteryear favorites Jaime Lyn Bauer (Lorie Brooks), Janice Lynde (Leslie Brooks), Meg Bennett (Julia Newman), Lauren Woodland (Brittany Hodges) and David Lago (Raul Guittierez).
