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 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 August 19, 2019
Jay Montalvo turns up as Adrian Rosales, the often-mentioned estranged father of Rey (Jordi Vilasuso), Lola (Sasha Calle), and Arturo (Jason Canela). The actor is no stranger to the daytime scene. He played district attorney Benjamin Lazaro on General Hospital back in 2013.

Montalvo also appeared as David Ruiz in the short-lived sci-fi drama series 10,000 Days in 2010, as well as in Hacienda Heights, where he played Emilio Castillo from 2008 to 2010.

Doug Davidson will be popping back in as Paul Williams. The actor, who’s now a recurring player with the soap, shared the news on Twitter while thanking fans for their “support and inquires.”

Look for Paul to appear, next month. Davidson’s last airdate was on July 31. The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
