This past June, we all celebrated the groundbreaking victory of The Young and the Restless‘ Mishael Morgan (Amanda Sinclair) as the first Black actress to ever win in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category during the 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

In the months that followed, Mishael has not been seen as much on the top-rated CBS daytime drama, plus when fans noticed she was no longer in the opening main credits, it got them wondering just what is Morgan’s status with the show.

Finally today, via video on her Instagram story, Mishael shared some news after finishing her day of taping in Genoa City.

The Emmy-winner revealed she has indeed gone on recurring status with the show: “I just wrapped my last scenes back at Y&R, and I just wanted to let the cat out of the bag a little bit.  A lot of people have noticed that my name is not on the main credits anymore, and I wanted everybody to know that it was my decision.  I decided, actually, back in December, that I wanted to take a bit of a step back from the show.  I just felt like at this point in my life and this point in my career, I wanted to mix things up a little bit. But Y&R will always be home. I have so appreciated this safe place to land that they have given me, so I know that I can be back. They are like family to me, and coming back just reminds me of that.”

Morgan also thanked the loyal viewers and her followers expressing, “I’m so appreciative of you guys, and all the fans who have supported me along this Y&R journey. But I’m still on it, I’m still going to be recurring, so you’ll still catch me in Genoa City.”

The talented star ended with a tease of projects and roles to come, telling her fans to, “Keep looking out for new things.”

So will you miss not seeing Mishael as much on Y&R?  Are you exciting to see what roles and projects she gets involved with next? Are you glad she is still recurring with the show and will continue to make appearances in stories? Comment below.

Not good news. I think I know where they are going with this. Devon and Elena. Recurring is Jill and Lauren and how often do you see them?

Lee S…Devin and Elena a possibility. Nate and any woman who bats their eyes at him and agrees with his vision. One in particular…Amanda’s lawyer sister who has left the responsibility of their mother with Amanda. I don’t like how writers have changed Nate from a caring person to an ego driven “businessman.”

In total agreement! I can’t wait until he gets screwed over by Victor and Victoria! Will be well deserved!

They’ve sent Imani away to be with their mother, so looks like that whole sorry storyline is caput. Good riddance. The only worthwhile character was Amanda. She was splended and will be missed. Audra appears to be the new flirt in Nate’s life. Possibly she is there because Jill had suspicions about Nate OR, she’s going to backstab Jill and try to take over the company.

While I wish Ms. Morgan the best and respect her decisions, the writers have a challenge. Amanda was forefront with a major story that added characters and connections. Now what? The family she longed for is gone save for a half sister. Amanda did not get a compelling story but Ms. Morgan made the most of it. Maybe after a break, the writers can give Amanda a bit of the verve her twin had. Y&R could use that spark.

Yes, this is true. I feel the same way too

Josh Griffith really wasted her the second time around
She was soooooo good as Hilary
How the ptb signed off on Amanda is almost as head scratching as how Griffith is still allowed to head write this show!
She deserved sooo much more screentime than say the previous Abby hour or Sally Spectra who’s been on every damn day!
Devon and Elena will make more sense. But I really hope Leigh Ann Rose as Imani quickly comes back and they ptb learn their lesson from Mishael and write for Imani. I want to see a proper old fashioned juicy soap triangle before Elena goes back to Devon after Nate cheats!

Josh Griffith does not like talent he ran off Gina T and now Morgan. Not sure why CBS does NOT can him, he is horrible!

Gina was not one of his pets he is like a lot of head writers they write only for their pets that’s obviously what happened here and it doesn’t matter if you are popular have a fan base as they call it get a Emmy whatever that’s how they work. Frustrating I know.

First of all we don’t ALL love her Emmy win. She absolutely did not deserve to win or to even be nominated – it was the worst Emmy win ever and it robbed Cynthia Watros of HER Emmy. Agree or disagree, I find Amanda Sinclair to be a total snoozefest of a character. I didn’t like her storyline at all in 2021 but she was able to put together a few scenes and win the Emmy with them. Most regrettable! I am glad Amanda isn’t on very much, she is an incredibly dull character. Snark away, I don’t care, she was much better in her previous Y&R role.

She deserved to win the 1st time but not nomiated, she’s a great actress
not sure what’s wrong with you, don’t watch Y&R stay with GH I do agree that Cynthia Watros could have won as well, she’s a great actress.

The lack of character development is due to the writers. She worked with what they gave her, which wasn’t much.

She did a great job with the crappy script.

You need to MOVE ON from the Emmys. She won GET OVER IT

In other words, she won an Emmy and wants to parlay that momentum into getting “bigger and better” roles. Heard it a thousand times and there’s no shame in it. But I truly respect the veteran actors who are playing the same role for years and not always looking for greener grass. As someone who has survived several layoffs over the decades, I think I’d be grateful for a steady gig and a regular paycheck. But that’s just me.

So you think she should just accept the terrible script and waste her clearly superior acting skills? Kudos to her for taking a risk

Amanda was Good I liked her I don’t care for her sister!! She’s the one who pushed Nate to do what he’s doing now!I pray Amanda comes back soon she keeps Her sister in line . Just because Nate and Elena are on a break doesn’t give them the opportunity too CHEAT in my EYES That would say they were never truly committed! Good luck Amanda hurry back so you and Devon can have a Baby if your own

I know Devon and Elena are together in real life but the two are such sad sacks, it won’t be hard consoling each other.Hope they are happier than they appear.

You said it, Violet. But I think Devon is generally a downer. Too Zen and relaxed for me, which translates to sleep inducing. Ms. Sarpy is such a good actress that I actually feel bad for Elena…all these self-centered guys trying to constantly prove something. She needs a totally new guy. Okay Violet, bear with me here: how about Elena and…ADAM. How’s that for thinking out of the box? The more I think about it, the more I like it. But maybe I shouldn’t say it aloud or Nick will suddenly be pointing his, um, attentions toward Elena. He really has no morality when it comes to his lust life. I’ve given up on Sharon and Adam reuniting, though they have great chemistry.

Yes I will miss her.Im glad that she come back some times. Good luck on your next job.Be looking out for it

I miss Mischael Morgan on the Young and Restless. She just won an Daytime Emmy. Her role should have been created for more scenes. I been watching this show every since it debuted 50 years ago

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.
