Jason Canela Announces He Is Exiting The Young and the Restless
While currently involved on-screen in romantic trouble between Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Mia (Noemi Gonzalez), Jason Canela (Arturo) took to social media Monday morning to share the news that he is departing the CNS Daytime drama series.
In his post, Canela says: “I feel blessed to have been a part of something so special! I appreciate each and every single person that makes up part of the @YandR_CBS family! Our makeup team, our crew, our security! Without them there is nothing The team behind the camera is what makes it all worth it.”
This came on top of his Jason’s post which expressed: “When I signed my 1 year contract with Y&R I was excited because for the first time in 3 years living in this city I was able to call a studio like ‘Television City’ home. Add to that the incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of working with to create genuine relationships with … like Peter Bergman,Melissa Ordway, Jordi Vilasuso, Sasha Calle and Noemi Gonzalez just to name a few. (Sorry guys, but Peter is my favorite). I feel blessed to have been part of something so special like The Young and the Restless family. It’s time to turn the page and see what beautiful stories I am blessed enough to be part of next. I want to send all my love and positive vibes to the Y&R fans who have been so welcoming since day 1! Appreciate the love and no worries, The Rosales family will still be cooking up some drama in Genoa City, so keeping looking out for them, and showing them all the love they deserve.”
No airdate at this time has been given for Canela’s last appearance on Y&R.

Im sad ,I wish Jason all the best.He deserves it ,
I liked him and his character and was hoping for more story. I suspect, with the new regime at Y&R, he won’t be alone in the unemployment line.
What is going on with the soaps lately people just coming and going at a time when the story line is good and unresolved I don’t know.
totally sucks hes the only newbie i kind of liked on the show i do hope the rest of the family leaves with him,,lola can stay,,
yes only lola.
He signed a one-year contract, which means that he was only on the show for a year?? It feels to me like the Rosales family has been on the show for EONS, which may be due to their constant presence on every episode and my disliking of the entire family.
It doesn’t say who made the decision. Did the actor decide to move on, or did the show opt not to renew his contract? Either way, I hope this is the beginning of the entire Rosales clan leaving the show.
I wish the actor success —- in another role on another show.
If you read the article above the comments, you will see his photo, and his reasons for leaving on his own. He was not fired.
Keep it going! Drain Mal Young’s swamp!
You said it Timmm!!!
Don’t know why they had to ruin everything with an affair with Mia. He changed so much with Abby but that woman just never seems to have good luck. He’s a good actor and was good to see a Latino family grow (minus Mia) and hope that YnR keeps the diversity going. Best wishes to him for great success in the near future.
Yes, him sleeping with Mia seems out of left field. I guess they had to find a way to get him to leave.
Momma Mia! I hate Mia! If Arturo must leave, can he take her and her make-up suitcase with him? Oh, and Summer can take a hike too!
Hats off to you HARRY‼️
You know, I wouldn’t say that those two sleeping together was out of left field. That’s all they spoke of from the time they ascended on GC. First Rey telling about his wife and brother and than, every time Mia and Arturo were together, she’d eat him up with her eyes, and he couldn’t look away. Mia was married to Rey, but she wanted Arturo too, which made it so disgusting. Even Rey, once he had feelings for Sharon, which he chose to deny, he still stayed with Mia, instead of sending her ass packing, tried to make the marriage work, knowing what a piece of work she really was. Now she gets to go free for what she did to Lola. If anyone needs to be in jail, it’s her.
I wonder if the role will be recast? I’m not sure how to feel about this since I know there have been alot of resentments against the Rosales family. They aren’t Newmans or Abbotts so to me, I see them as just OK.
I don’t mind them too much; I just don’t need to see them on the show every day, which they were. Integrate them slowly. Don’t hit us over the head with them to the detriment of others (Neil, Paul, Dina, etc.).
the bunch of them were working for peanuts compared to the rest of the original cast. the whole story line was around them so Y&R could save a bundle. Abby cannot keep a partner ’cause she cannot do a bedroom scene. never seen such a good looking girl fumble up a bedroom scene as bad as her
So long – you and your character were neither necessary nor relevant to the GC canvas.
Hopefully the rest of your ill-conceived TV family will follow suit.
Your comment is the unnecessary one.
He and Abby made a beautiful couple.
The Rosales family is revelant because as you can see in society there are people made up of all economic classes
I hope Rey, Mia and Lola stay. Genoa city characters cant sleep within just two families and become incestual.
I agree 100%! Think of the Rearden Family on Guiding Light. As well as the Santos Family. Or the Snyders on As The World Turns. The Newmans and Abbotts have so much freaking money. We need there to be real life scenarios that are relatable extended into the Genoa City world that will balance out the economic status of the Y and R characters/families as well as the cultural diversity of 2019 that is so important. The mistake was that Mal Young brought them all in way too quickly so that we couldn’t connect with their integration while pushing out our fan favorites. And with the Winters Family losing Neil (and Lily and Hilary), I just don’t know… Seems that Ana and Devon are going to carry them on, one way or another.
Also, I’m glad that they are correcting the direction of the character of JT. That was a ridiculous storyline for someone that we loved so such a long time. Domestic Violence is a very important issue, and Amelia and Thad being intimately connected in real life allowed for them to play these roles with complete trust, but the direction that story with the 4 women “killing” him and all of the following months of storyline that MYtook was soooo wrong. It’s a real-life situation for many, many women (myself included), but to take JT who we have loved for decades into this direction was really tough. But I get that Amelia and Thad trusted each other 100% in order to take it there.
Your lame rebuttal is unnecessary – you can love the ill-conceived Rosales family all you want – hell, sleep with them for all I care!!!
I’m not in the minority re them – swing and a miss, thanks for playing Damien!
So it was his choice? I guess that’s why they had Arturo sleep with Mia.
Abby sure can pick ’em.
That sucks. I like Arturo
Bye!!!! That’s what happens when you get on Twitter and our nasty and self serving !! You were shown the door!
You should keep your own nasty comments to yourself
No one knows what your talking about
Arturo the character and Jason are handsome and kind souls
Yes, do be careful, Kay – you don’t want to upset Damien and his infatuation!!!
Do you really even know who you are talking about? Nasty and self serving? That would have to be just about the whole cast.
Hey, Violet,
True, that….no one is “pristine” on soaps….but, I think Kay may be referring to the character, not the actor. I don’t know—I have neither a Twitter nor Facebook account.
Mia, certainly brought the character down a few pegs—I detest cheaters. I, myself, never took to Arturo…..I love Lola and Rey is sort of growing on me, now that he’s being honest with himsef.
I must wonder if he and Sharon will get anywhere romantically.
Her past with Nick will always be looming between them; both physically and emotionally……as usual.
Oh, and…I get weird vibes coming from Ana’s ‘father” and “cousin”… are they on the up ‘n up? Devon’s money must look pretty golden, right now….
I think this is exactly what they were planning. Is Ana in on it?
Celia,
Kay’s comment just ruffled this old hen’s feathers. From what I could make of it, it was meant towards J.C, not Arturo. I think that his character was a little full of himself, swooping in to romance Nicki, than Abby, than Mia, of whom he’d already cheated on with once before. He acted like he was God’s gift to women. I would like to see him and Mia leave town, but if by chance she really is pregnant, that will raise the question of who the father is. Rey hasn’t told Sharon this news yet, so that may be a deciding factor to their romance.
As far as Devon and Ana. I am in the minority I think, that likes Devon, so I am hoping that his sister Ana would not be involved with a scam of any kind, put in to motion by her own cousin and father. We know the father is authentic, because Devon knew of him as a singer from years ago. It would be the perfect scam, if it wasn’t for his sister being involved. It would make for a good SL either way, as I’ve heard this gal from GH might be a love interest for Devon.
Going back over what I wrote, I guess just because this man is Ana’s dad, doesn’t mean he isn’t about going after Devon’s money. My dear, you may be on to something here.
You’re right, Miss Violet…..I had forgotten about Arturo and Nikki……which reenforces my point that Abby should have been ‘en garde’. LOL.
Most importanlty, Arturo’s behavior left much to be desired. Too bad for Abby….I wonder if she has learned anything this time around.
When I first heard Brytni was coming to Y&R, I thought the same thing. A girl for Devon, or a new Lily.
I am not saying Ana’s father is an imposter exactly….but, he could be trying to take advantage of Devon…..wants a piece of his “cake”?
I hope I am wrong…..but, why introduce them if there were no underlying misdeeds? We shall see.
I like Ana; so, I hope she’s not a schemer.
She is not only gorgeous, but also seems to really care for Devon.
Celia,
O.k, you put the idea into my head about Ana’s father and cousin, so I will be watching those two more intently. Another possibility is maybe this cousin, I can’t remember her character name, will become interested in Nate, both doctors, who lives right across the hall, might even get to work with him at the hospital. Oh my, all kinds of possibilities. I was hoping that Ana’s dad might fill the space that Neil has left, once they address his death in May. Wonder if Lily will return, minus Cain, I hope. Sure haven’t missed him lately. I jinxed it! Made Cain appear today.
I wondered if the new producing/writing team would dismantle Mal Young’s new family and, it seems that may be the case, yes? I am hoping for some stabilizing in Genoa City, but I was not opposed to integration of a new family. The Rosales clan just seemed not to win our hearts before falling into deep drama. Will Arturo leave with Mia? If Paul fires Rey from the police department, what is left for him? Lola? Seems Kyle may just fall in love with Summer after all. I do not like to see actors lose opportunities.
Yes, I think you’re right. It’s not that I dislike the Rosales family, (okay, I hate Mia with the heat of a thousand suns but I guess I am supposed to hate her )it’s that they were rapidly and awkwardly introduced. And Mal Young was doing something really odd, creepy and out-of-character with Victor and Nikki agreeing to an open marriage. Our first impression of young Arturo is with him hooking up with Mrs. Newman hours after he first met her. Through no fault of the actor’s, he didn’t make a good first impression, and that can be a hard factor to overcome for soap characters.
Hey Harry
Just wondering, if you watch DOOL too, who do you think is worse, Mia or Gabi. Right now I am hating both of them, Claire too, but she’s leaving, and then there was two!
Sorry to see you go but best of luck to you.
00ooh no !!
There were only 2, just 2, hot sexy guys with Y&R, now only Kyle..
I’m not happy about Arturo not being on the screen, but it is what it is..
I’m sure he’ll be seen in other shows, and- good for Jason Canela to get out and moving on before it’s too late.
Agree 100%
The show needs more good looking young people and new families to keep from being old and incestual
this is not a big loss to the show
The character was never added to the opening credits (nor anyone in his tv family)…I don’t see any of them being long term, unless the new head writer has different plans in mind. New EP & HW normally cut loose characters they don’t need.
This really sucks
I was thoroughly enjoying the Rosales siblings dynamics . It was a breath of fresh air. Was hoping the Abby / Arturo/Mia/Rey affairs would continue, especially the sexual tension between ‘Arturrrro’ and Mia. Also thought Abby finally found her true love with Arturo.
I know fans didnt want a new fam taking time away from faves however for the show to continue younger new families have to be introduced, the vets arent getting any younger.
Too bad , Jason was rugged , good looking had good chemistry with the ladies and the character was different than other well to do genoa city residents
Good luck to Jason
OMG
I think I liked Arturo and sister Loala, as he said it the best. Rather Mia, and Rey were leaving. Jason was probably as sick of his part as we were. First his gig with Nicki, and than being pulled into Mia’s black web. I don’t know whether I see her as a spider or a vulture.’ Either way she’s disgusting. Arturo was his own worst enemy, poor guy, didn’t stand a chance. Adious, and good luck.
I do not care for the Mia character either. The classic bad girl who is misunderstood/social climbing but doing it all wrong is a classic soap trope (Carly ATWT) but we did not see any good in Mia from the start. She just hit the ground running. I believe characters have to earn their love or hate and respect from viewers. That is the writers’ job. If we could understand Mia better, I think she would gain more sympathy and be the girl we love to hate. Sadly, not going that way.
I too watched ATWT, and yes, once we were able to understand why Carly was the way she was, her childhood, etc., we were also able to understand her destructive behaviors better.
This Mia, just came in like gangbusters, in your face, everything all about her, I can’t stand her and never will. Maybe she will go with Arturo, but I can’t stand Sharon and Rey together either.
Violet, I couldn’t agree with you more. I hate the way Mia trots around holding her little arms folded up against her body–she reminds me of Tyrannosaurus Rex in a cocktail dress, barging through coffee houses, restaurants, apartments, and mansions looking for something or someone to grab.
Harry, RGHT?
No, you can’t leave, I love you with Abby. You are one good actor. Hope to see you again .
I thought he was really good in his role with Abby. I love the Rosales family and the added diversity they brought to GC. Soaps must reflect today in cities in Canada and the USA. Very very disappointed and the slightly not so slightly racist comments these actors have had to put up with on pages such as this absolutely disgust me but it reaffirms my opinion of a good many Americans who yell free speech when it is obviously hate speech.
You are great with abby.
Wishing you best of luck from Canada!
It may have been his decision to leave. He is a young guy who wants to spread his wings. I think the Rosales family would have been accepted, if Mal Young didn’t place them front and center so quickly. Also, Mal sectioned them off. Yes, Lola had Mariah and Tessa, but where were the friends for Mia, Rey and Arturo? They could still work, but blend them into GC and don’t hate me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a recast for Mia, if she is written out.
I am going to miss Jason for I liked him in his role of Arturo and liked him with Abby…Wishing Jason nothing but the best in his future endeavors…
Here’s hoping Arturo leaves Genoa City and Abby goes with him…
Now I suddenly LOVE Abby! She is hilarious. The actress who plays her is not just drop gorgeous, she has this inherent comedic talent. No, Arturo, don’t take Abby with you. However, feel free to take your sister-in-law with you and her rolling suitcase full of cheap make-up samples. Bye, Felicia! Bye Mama Mia! Don’t let the door hit you!
Harry, right on. That’s one thing that Mia does good, giving out samples. Wish Arturo would take her, when he goes. Sorry to see all those roses go to waste though.
I wish him luck.
I never did like his character. Him and Abby were not a good match.
I think they should bring Scott back, him and Abby have unfinished business.
I preferred him over the other Rosaleses. Loved that he came on as a toy boy for Nikki. It does seem that Abbey will follow her mothers footsteps and never have a main squeeze that lasts.
Oh, well….
Heh.. well, “brevity is the soul of wit,” after all.
Ahhhh, Harry!!…my Willie!! Love him to death–hope to meet him when I cross over…and Robert Frost!! LOL.
I see that Arturo has a few ardent fans, Harry…..I would not want to be so audacious as to get in anyones face by dissing him….and, facing the consequences. ❤️
That CLOWN Arturo is leaving…Y-A-Y!!!!! Also, show his KEYSTONE KOP brother Rey the door and I’ll be even happier…lol. Oh…and BTW, I LOVED yesterday’s episode (3/26) of Y&R…especially where Paul chewed out Rey and then FIRED him. About damn time.
Welcome back Doug Davidson/Chief Paul Williams. You have been truly missed.
Later.
Jay you crack me up! Remember when you had a long term substitute teacher? At first you were all happy and thought you could just slack but after a while you saw the class falling apart. Then the teacher comes back and order is restored. That’s how it feels to have Paul back.
Harry…y-e-p. And now that Chief Paul is back in town/Genoa City, the GCPD is now BACK IN SESSION…YEAH!!!!!
Later, Harry.
Arturo, a great actor, I wish you all the best. Maybe Abby can buy you a new truck before you leave..LOL Abby a great actor too.Arturo, I enjoyed you,the small amount of time you shared with us,come back again,Y&R, always needing a come back.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
