Nate Switch! Sean Dominic Takes Over The Role On Y&R
There will be a new look Dr. Nate Hastings on The Young and the Restless. Look for actor Sean Dominic, who replaces Brooks Darnell in the role, to make his debut on the Wednesday, April 10th episode of the CBS Daytime drama series.
Dominic most recently appeared as Jabari Johnson on the OWN series Greenleaf.
Darnell had joined the cast as Nate back in July of 2018.
Once the casting news was revealed, Sean took to his social media and exclaimed: “What can I say and where do I start… Next chapter on this journey @yrinsider thank you @realnickroses thank you zenofacting thank you Blessings to the most high and thank you all who…”
The character of Nate is the son of Olivia Barber Winters and Nathan Hastings, who was later adopted by Malcolm Winters,
So glad there is a new Nate coming to Genoa City in the form of Sean Dominic? Let us know via the comment section below.
Huh??? This came out of left field. What happened to Darnell?
Character definitely needed a retooling. He was just a dry nag. Constantly preaching with no appeal or chemistry with any leading ladies especially after Hillary died
Me thinks a triangle was planned with him/ hillary/ devon but shelved after Mishaels departure
In the young stud category i d rather Josh bring back his creation Tyler. Especially now that Abby will be single again. He had charisma and looks for days. Shame he and his sis Leslie were axed when a new regime came in. JFP.
Speaking of axing new families created once a new regime takes over I really hope now that Arturo is leaving, that the Rosales stay on. I thouroughly enjoy Rey, Lola and Mia. Mia is a vixen Genoa city needs and Lola/ Kyle/Summer triangle is hot!
Hopefully this guy can act! Now lets replace that robot who plays Devon!
Leave Devon alone!
He will RUIN the character of Elena!
What the???!!!
I’m sorry, Darnell wasn’t doing it for me. There was no fire, no personality, no presence in his performance. Otherwise, I’ll miss Arturo; Mia and Rey can go. Lola is a gem with Kyle. Finally, can we update the opening? Some of the newer contract players have been on for a year and their portraits are still not featured in the opening.
Why bother recasting a character who has been in search of a story since he came to town?
Now we all know every soap needs at least one doctor who can basically do everything–GC has been missing that since that guy who was Abby’s husband left town– personally I would love for Olivia to be that doctor instead of her son.
Not sure about why Tonya Lee Williams isnt returning for Kristoffs memorial. I know coming from Canada she does alot of work behind the scenes up here, however im hoping something can happen because she is the quad of the legendary Winters/ Barber era of y n r. A young Liv and Dru at odds over Nate and Neil then Malcolm are everything. She belongs to mentor the younger set a la Tracy for the Abbotts
Hi Damien, I read on another website that Tonya Lee Williams was out of the country on another project and that is why she couldn’t be part of Kristoffs memorial…
Nate was created by Mattel. Meet Super Kung Fu Nate!! He’s an oncologist, a brain surgeon, and a family physician. He also has a black belt in karate, he is a yoga instructor, a meditation guru and an all around great guy!
Available at Target, Walmart and Toys R Us. Parts and accessories sold separately.
Harry…dude…as I was reading your post, I was BIG-TIME cracking up laughing!!!!! So thank you for that…lol.
Later, Harry.
Good..
The current Nathan is an emotionless android..
Hopefully, this Nathan will be totally different..
looking forward to seeing the change-up ..
Yes, this guy looks like he’s got an edgy thing about him. Doesn’t look the type to be hand holding the ladies, just cause they are having a bad day. Wonder if he’ll be interested in the new doctor soon to be Devon’s guest, along with Ana,s father.
I loved this guy on Greenleaf……I loved Greenleaf
this character needed a reboot
The characters mother needs to make an appearance this might help I heard the actress could not make it work for a few episodes she needs to be there for Neil’s death just like they screwed up with the funeral for Katherine her granddaughter Mac needed to be there and even Tucker though I hated that storyline this pettiness of EP not liking certain actors and can’t do it right because of it ruins the show the fans deserve better.
Blame the writers, not the actor. he was given no storyline that made any sense what so ever.
Oh, thank ye gods!! Please…I invoke you to put some fire ‘neath new Nate’s scrubs!!!!!!
And, what’s up with Victoria? She’s going through her middle-age crisis? Holy moly!! I am not into this lurid behavior—sex wih a complete stranger? She should know better!! no sense!!
I would love for nuNate to be paired with Victoria—–NO BILLY–NO CANE—-please!! Perhaps Nate can ground her “knees” and brain.
Celia
I had the same thoughts. Like mother like daughter, but Nicki would be appalled, and most likely not cheering Victoria on. One good thing though, she hasn’t taken up with Cain. I will really be upset if they ever get together, now that he and Lily are parting ways. I kind of see why Victoria would want to kick up her heels a bit, after dealing with J.T and Billy. What a jerk, following her to Vegas. I wonder what Victor was doing there? Probably hiring another thug to take care of someone, ala Phyllis and Marco.
Just saw the new and improved Dr. today. I really like him, and very good looking. Can’t wait to hear from others.
This new Nate is WAYYYYY better than the last one. They are pairing him with Abby and I am feeling the heat already! Great casting!
Richard Danner
Thinking the same thing today. Depending on your age, you may not know him, but this new Nate reminds me of the young Johnny Mathis. I really don’t care for new Nate’s hair.
