The Young and the Restless C&G News

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 February 1, 2021
Don Diamont, who played YR’s Brad Carlton from 1985 to 2009, is heading back to the soap. This time around, he’ll be portraying his The Bold and the Beautiful alter ego, Bill Spencer when he surfaces in Genoa City. It’s part of the crossover storyline between the two soaps. Look for Diamont to air later this month.

In a surprise turn, Tyler Johnson, who exited the soap as Theo Vanderway last December, is returning. He’ll share scenes with Courtney Hope’s Sally when he delivers key information about Kyle (Michael Mealor), this week.

And finally, Tricia Cast makes another appearance as Nina Webster on Thursday, February 4.

The Young and the Restless History

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 Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) heroism to the adorable love story of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Lola (Sasha Calle), YR knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more. Sadly, times are shifting and daytime soap operas are shrinking.

Bringing the Drama

It is one of only four remaining 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.
