A much talked about brother finally makes his debut on The Young and the Restless. Find out if any other newcomers or popular stars from yesteryear are joining the show this week or in the near future in contract, recurring, or day-player roles, and if any of your favorite actors or actresses are leaving the CBS soap. 

The Week of January 6,  2025

Nathan Owens debuts as Damian, Nate’s (Sean Dominic) half-brother, on Wednesday, January 8. The character is the son of the late Nathan Hastings and Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford). Owens is no stranger to the daytime scene. He played Cameron Lewis on Days of Our Lives from 2012 to 2013. 

Valarie Pettiford makes another appearance as Amy on Thursday, January 9. She’ll interact with Sean Dominic.

Ray Wise gets more screen time as the dastardly Ian Ward. He appears on Monday, January 6 in scenes with Eric Braeden’s Victor Newman.  Colleen Zenk returns as Jordan Howard. Look for the diabolical character to go rogue on Thursday, January 2.
