The week of August 22, 2022
Aaron Schwartz debuts as Lucas on Wednesday, August 23. Look for the mysterious character to arrive in Genoa City to work on an assignment for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). He’ll also air on Thursday, August 25. Schwartz’s credits include the role of Vanya on the primetime series Gossip Girl.
Zuleyka Silver has been cast as Audra Charles. The new executive will debut next month, after being summoned to town by one of Genoa City’s business moguls.
Also, Paxton Mishkind is taking over the role of Johnny Abbott, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) son. He’ll premiere next month.
Y&R 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.
From Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) family machinations to Traci Abbott’s (Beth Maitland) heart to the complicated love story of Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), Y&R knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more.
The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for airtimes. For more about what’s coming up in Genoa City, check out all the latest that’s been posted on Y&R spoilers, and for an in-depth look at the show’s history, click here.
