The week of June 28, 2021
Sean Carrigan is back on the Genoa City scene as Dr. Ben “Stitch” Rayburn, Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) ex-husband. The character re-surfaced last Friday, and word is he’ll be back for a limited run on the soap.
Carrigan originally portrayed Stitch from 2013 to 2017. When last seen, Stitch was moving to Iowa to be by his son Max’s side, while the boy was recovering from brain surgery in a long-term care facility.
Christian Telesmar has landed a stint on the show as Tyler and will begin airing in July. The actor’s credits include guest spots on NCIS: Los Angeles and Bones. 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). The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
