The Young and the Restless
Y&R Poll: Which Arrival Or Return Are You Most Looking Forward To?
The Young and the Restless is currently in reset mode bringing back popular fan favorite actors and characters and beefing up their cast. The series recently won three Daytime Emmy Awards for scripts and shows under former executive producer and head writer, Mal Young, but who at the same time saw the ratings drop for the series, although it still remains strongly ahead of the other soaps at number one.
Now with Anthony Morina (EP) and Josh Griffith (Head Writer) steering the ship in Genoa City, the powers-that-be have already brought back: Doug Davidson (Paul), the new Adam in the form of actor Mark Grossman, plus Mishael Morgan (Ex-Hilary), who is now making appearances. However, there are more favorites to come next month and into the summer.
Now, we ask you to cast your vote in our latest poll. Which arrival or return are you looking forward to most?
There is Michelle Stafford’s major comeback as Phyllis, Greg Rikaart reprising his signature role as Kevin Fisher, the announcement of former All My Children and CSI:Miami star, Eva LaRue, joining the cast as Rey and Lola’s mom, plus the return of Melissa Claire Egan as Chelsea. Perhaps, you are most excited about someone who has not been officially named to join the Genoa City canvas, or are hoping for another big acquisition, or blast from the past?
Let us know by voting below and tell us why you are most excited about seeing them back on Y&R in the comment section!
Chelsea and Kevin
All except Chelsea— liked her, neither as Annie (AMC), nor as Chelsea–not fond of this actress.
The best return is, of course, Michelle–the best arrival is Eva.
The picture would be complete if Billy M were to return!! Yeah, baby…..
I think Chelsea shot Adams
I agree, very unlikeable character (Chelsea).
I am really excited to see Kevin (Greg Rikaart) return as well as Michelle Stafford as Phyllis. Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) will be a welcome return. The Eva LaRue thing I sincerely couldn’t care less about. Now here’s what I’ve been thinking – silently so no one hears it – I am watching the character of Billy Abbott currently portrayed by Jason Thompson – who I have ZERO beef with – and I am feeling like he is on the way out. And here’s where it gets good — I really think Billy Miller could be on his way back. I don’t know where I’m getting this vibe but I truly have been feeling it. Amelia Heinle had such chemistry with Billy Miller. She hasn’t had that heat with anyone since. Billy Miller is honestly the only Billy Abbott. We have had the substitute teacher in long enough. Come on home Billy Miller. If Y&R is able to make that casting coup I will suffer through any Rosales character as long as the hotness that is Billy Miller is on my screen. C’mon it will be Christmas in a short while..Santa in case you’re reading this from your summer vacation in Jamaica..pretty please? I’ve been so good I swear..(well not really but I really want this) Had to speak it into being…
Please I liked him on Y&R as Billy but hate his character on GH and how they write for him.
I would love to have Billy Miller back, also.
All I can say and I know I am in the minority here, I am not looking forward to Greg Rikaart (Kevin) back…I have never been a fan of the character of Kevin…I don’t mind seeing the others return…
agree with you…
Love Y&R…plz put Nick & Sharon back together!!!
Not looking forward to Michelle Stafford at all. Melissa Claire Egan and Greg Rikaart are great! Eva La Rue, I don’t know but she looks the same age as Jordi…
None, U like them all, but I’m already feeling many of my favorites (Traci/Devon/Lauren/Michael/Jack get so little screen time, this will only add to the characters competing for focus.
Jack? He’s on the screen every time I turn on the TV. A matter of perspective, I guess, lol.
NOT Chelsea!
I’m not excited over any of those peoples return.
They are all reruns / been there done that.
(no big deal)
The only rerun that would excite me is–
Michael Muhney !
And that’s not happening so eeehhhh.
I agree that Michael Muhney should have returned! The new Adam is NOT that interesting or likeable whatsoever!
Michelle Stafford
I would have to say Ms.LaRue and Kevin, if he is the old Kevin and not a newer version and doesn’t bring Chloe with him.
Greg Rikaart for sure. Iffy on the others. I know it all business but I think Gina Tognoni got shafted so not over the top about Stafford’s return. And, it seems off that they would get rid of the character of Arturo just as they bring on his mother.
I quit watching YR when Chelsea left. I’m thrilled to have MCE returning. Curious to see Stafford reclaim the role she originated and love anything Eva la Rue does. All in all I’m very happy.
I am excited about Greg and Melissa coming back. I really liked Gina in the role of Phyllis, so I am NOT thrilled that Gina was let go, so Michelle could come back. Michelle plays the character too over-the-top. I liked Gina’s more nuanced,balanced portrayal. She is my all-time favorite Phyllis-regardless of Stafford originating the role. I know that Eva is a great actress, so I am willing to give her a chance. I wish they would back Robert Adamson(Noah), Judith Chapman(Gloria), and Billy Miller(Billy). I like Jason Thompson, but Billy M. is still my favorite Billy.
I voted Chelsea – I want to see Adam & Chelsea reunite. I also like the fact that Kevin w/b returning. While I was a fan of Michelle Stafford when she played Phyllis, I loved Gina T. from Day #1 – never have I accepted a recast so quickly, and she has become my favourite; not to mention the way she appeared to have been treated which infuriates me and which has coloured my thinking about seeing MS again.
As for ELR I know her from AMC – don’t like her; and certainly don’t know why they would bring a Rosales mother on when two of the clan have left. As for appearances, she looks younger than she is – although I’m assuming she w/b made to look like the Rosales mother, and Rey looks a bit older than he is – a weird choice of casting IMO and don’t look forward to her appearance at all. I can only hope it’s a short term gig, but haven’t read anything about that.
I assume Eva LaRue’s character will be Jack’s new woman.
Kevin n Chelsea. There is something “wrong” Abt the actress switch for PHYLLIS that is unfair. (Sorry, Michelle left cause she didn’t like it there so why does she get to come back when an excellent actress is ok as long her?)
Love Eva but too young to play Rey’s mom AND WHERE THE HELL WAS SHE WHEN HER DAUGHTER WAS DYING FOR A MONTH???!!!! Sorry… Just not wanting to see another Rosales.
Not watching young and restless anymore. Pushing lesbians, and the kissing is degusting. Not watching anymore
Here is hoping that Young and Restless has the good sense to hire Roger Howarth !! He would be a perfect match for Sharon !!!!!

Jensen Ackles to Make His ‘Tracker’ Debut
This Sunday, May 12th, (9pm ET/8pm PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+), Jensen Ackles (ex-Eric Brady, Days of our Lives, ex-Dean Winchester, Supernatural) makes his first on-screen appearance in his new TV role on Tracker.
Jensen was cast as Russell Shaw, the brother to Justin Hartley’s (ex-Adam Newman, Y&R and Fox Crane, Passions) Colter Shaw.
In the episode entitled “Off the Books”, Colter is forced to team up with his estranged brother, Russell, who enlists his help to track down a former army buddy who’s gone missing after several weeks of paranoid behavior. The investigation takes the brothers into the world of Special Forces missions, shady off-the-books programs and conspiracy theories, all while they contend with their family’s past.

Colter’s past with Russell is one of the main themes of the freshman season of Tracker which has been picked up for a second season. Ackles appearance comes in the penultimate episode of season one.

Hartley revealed in a post on Instagram two weeks ago that Ackles was coming to Tracker as his brother and he was the perfect person for the part.
Check out a sneak peak of Sunday night’s episode of Tracker below.
So, looking forward to seeing Jensen and Justin together as on-screen brothers on Tracker? Comment below.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Victor to Jordan: “You’re a Delusional Vicious, Bitch!” But, Is He About to Sic Her on Jack?
On the Friday, May 9th episode of The Young and the Restless, it has became abundantly clear that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is about to take revenge on his arch nemesis, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
The manner in which he chooses to do so, may be the most heinous in Victor’s long list of masterminding plots. When visiting his prisoner, Jordan (Colleen Zenk) in the dungeon at the Newman ranch, she is trying to persuade him how he can’t let her rot down in the dungeon, in fact, he needs her and she can tell he wants something from her.
Jordan begs him for a hint of what he is planning, but Victor says,“It will be at a time of my choosing.” Jordan says she can help him in whatever he is planning. In fact, she can weaponize fear against someone; just look at what she did to his wife, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott)!

Victor yells at Jordan, “You’re a delusional vicious, bitch!” Jordan laughs and knows he wants her to do his dirty work. Victor says he will let her know when he decides. In the meantime, to torment her and to get her hooked on booze, as payback for getting Nikki back on the bottle, Victor reveals another bottle of vodka for her. He leaves it just in reach and just outside of her cell.
Next, Jordan tells Victor she needs food, not vodka. Victor slaps her hands away, and eventually walks out. Later, in the dungeon, Jordan paces tempted by the bottle, and screams for Victor to let her out of there and to tell her what he wants.
Courtesy/CBS
Back at the Newmans, Victor rants to Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole (J. Eddie Peck) that the family should stay away from the Abbotts. Victoria senses Victor is about to hatch a vengeful plot on Jack. Victor won’t admit to a thing.
At the Abbotts, Diane (Susan Walters) wants to walk out on Jack, due to his pill popping escapade to save Nikki. She is worried whatever move she makes might send him down the road to taking more pills. Jack swears he won’t do such a thing. However, he is seems to be losing all the confidence from his entire family, which we can only take to mean he will be left open and vulnerable to whatever plot Victor hatches and uses Jordan to execute. All signs point to attempting to send Jack over the edge and spiraling downward into addiction.
So, what do you think will happen? How will Victor use Jordan to seek revenge on Jack Abbott? Comment below.
