Nathan Owens On Contract With The Young and the Restless as Holden Novak
The many sides of Genoa City newcomer, Holden Novak, will now be fully explored as actor Nathan Owens is officially on contract with The Young and the Restless.
Last week, Owens, who has been on recurring status with the top-rated soap, had his name appear in the closing credits for the first time where the show lists it contract cast alphabetically by last name.
In fact, in the credit scroll, Nathan’s name appears just before Jermaine Rivers who plays Damian. As viewers will recall, when Owens made his return to daytime television and debuted on Y&R, we believed he was “Damian,” the son of Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford) and half-brother to Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), only to find out he was a decoy for the real Damian (Jermaine Rivers), and was an associate of the guy, who’s name turned to really be Holden Novak.

Soap fans first got to know Owens when he played the role of Dr. Cameron Davis on Days of our Lives from 2012-2013, He later went on to have play Jesse in the Lifetime soapy drama Devious Maids in 2016. Nathan’s other credits include: Hulu’s Dollface (2019), and episodic dramas such as FOX’s 9-1-1: Lone Star (2022) and more.
In story on Y&R, it has been revealed that Holden has a connection and romantic past with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), and just may be vying for the affections of Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) as the story moves forward.
Back in March, when Nathan visited the Michael Fairman Channel for a livestream chat, he weighed-on on the potential love matches for Holden, expressing on working with Christel Khalil, “She is fierce. Christel comes with a bit of fire and spice whatever scene she is in, to be honest with you. As a person, she’s just very delightful, honest, and funny too. She has a good sense of humor. As far as if Holden and Lily Winters might up in a romantic relationship together, I can’t tell you, I don’t know. Who knows? We might end up together?”

Owens also shared his thoughts on Holden’s past with Audra Charles, “There’s a bit of a cat and mouse, push and pull thing going on between the two of them. I’ll leave it at that.”
It should be noted that The Young and the Restless does not officially comment on actor’s contract status.
So, glad to hear Nathan Owens is on contract at The Young and the Restless? Share your thought via the comment section, and in case you missed it check out our live interview with Nathan below.
I had a sense he’d be upped, given how he debuted, and the press his arrival garnered.
Really enjoying these two new additions to Y n R! Jermaine and Nathan are keepers! It’s nice to once again flush out the Winters crew so it’s not just Abbotts and Newman’s everyday! Very happy they will remain on in a bigger capacity!
Very happy. The show needed some new men and we’re getting three. Damian, Holden and whomever Billy Flynn plays
Probably someone named Caleb or Dusty.
“Damien” is in his 50’s but looks older than his mother. Nothing against age here—we all age. But, he is supposed to be en par with that “inner” group. He sticks out like a sore thumb. Holden is hot!!
Celia…’looks older than his mother’…GOOD ONE!!!!! LOL
Thanks, Jay—-I don’t think anyone can dispute the fact that not only does he look as old as his mother—-but, he also looks old enough to be Nate’s Dad.Haha
You must be blind or just a racist
Not true at all.
So glad—he is the right age group and he has the looks. Please get rid of Damian—you can dress him in pink and silk ensembles all you want. He still looks too old for the role—-and out of place. Also—-do not pair him with Lily —What a disaster!!
Celia…girl…ain’t that the truth…LOL!!!!! I even CRINGE whenever Damian and Lily have scenes together. Yikes.
Is it the color of his skin?
How do you know what color Jay and I are? Seems to me you are racist. Are you in the habit of picking fights? Well, you picked on the wrong person. Holden is black. But he’s hot and the right age group. Perhaps you lack reading comprehension. You are carrying a heavy load on your back.

B&B’s Crew Morrow Featured in Courtroom Thriller ‘Wildcards’ Set for Theatrical Release and Tour

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Crew Morrow (Will Spencer) will be seen later this month in Wes Miller’s highly-anticipated courtroom thriller, Wildcards, now set for theatrical release nationwide on August 27, but with a twist. Wildcards recently won the Best Narrative Feature at the Essence Film Festival.
According to Variety, BLacklight and Dark Star Pictures are using the release date to reimagine a theatrical rollout by pairing a screening in select markets (seven cities, seven nights) with a moderated discussion featuring members of the cast and creative team, and in some cities, local community leaders, artists and cultural voices.
As previously reported, Wildcards, follows the trial of Theodore Sterling (Morrow), a privileged young man accused of sexually assaulting a young Black woman. As jurors from different backgrounds clash over the evidence, tensions escalate between determined state prosecutor James Jones and veteran defense attorney Greg Sims.

TOUR STOPS, A CULTURAL EVENT AND MOVIE PREMIERE
The case takes a turn with the arrival of a mysterious “wildcard” witness who claims to know the truth about the night in question. Her connection to the accused raises unsettling questions of bias, credibility and justice.
The ensemble cast features Crew Morrow, plus Leon, Elise Neal, Aries Spears, Stakiah Lynn Washington, Courtney Grace, Samantha Walkes and Robert Catrini.
Each tour stop is designed to be a shared cultural event, with organizers calling it an “evening of storytelling, reflection and audience engagement that extends beyond the final credits.”
In a statement, Wes Miller shared on the upcoming film release and tour stop (cities and dates to be announced): “I’m excited to bring this film and share the stellar performances of the cast. ‘Wildcards’ represents everything I’m passionate about as a filmmaker — creating authentic and meaningful genre entertainment for the culture. For me, this theatrical tour is about taking that directly to our communities, city-by-city, and creating the kind of theatrical experience that reminds people why cinema matters.”
Crew Morrow debuted on The Bold and the Beautiful back in August of 2024. Since that time, he has been front and center in a young love story between his character of Will Spencer and Electra Forrester played by Laneya Grace.
Currently, the duo have broken-up on-screen, but such is the case of star-crossed lovers on the soaps. Morrow is the real-life son of The Young and the Restless long-running cast member Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman).
So, excited to see Crew in the motion picture Wildcards? Do you hope the tour stops in your city, so you can attend a Q&A? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Finn Carr Weighs-In on Potential Rocco and Scout Teen Romance

Finn Carr, who delivered powerful performances on General Hospital, when Rocco shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and its aftermath, may be headed for his first on-screen love story on the ABC soap opera.
Ever since it was announced that the long-running daytime drama decided to age-up Scout Cain, and in a few recent scenes between Rocco and Scout, it’s clear these two share similar interests and like each other.
Scout is now played by Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who made her GH debut back on July 20 as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In a newly-released virtual segment with ABC11 North Carolina’s GH virtual insider, Dearon Smith, both Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn talked about working on a soap opera, while finishing high school, and teasing what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco. While Finn and Asher couldn’t give too much away, Smith asked Finn Carr if there is something brewing between Scout and Rocco?
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ROCCO AND DANNY?
Carr responded, “That’s an interesting question. Kaden is great to work with, and I love working with her. There definitely is some great stuff coming up that people are going to want to watch. It’s good stuff and really fun.”
Apparently, Danny and Rocco will also find themselves once again in some trouble, but as Finn tells it looks like this time, Danny will take the brunt of it. “We get into a lot of trouble … well, Danny gets into a lot of trouble … but I do a lot though.” Very cryptic indeed!
You can check out the full conversation with Finn and Asher with ABC11 below.
Now, let us know, would you like to see Rocco have a girlfriend, and that it would be Scout? Do you think Finn and Kayden work well together on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

Laura Wright Signs New Contract with ‘General Hospital’

While there have been plenty of on-screen newcomers in recent weeks on General Hospital, no need to worry about one of its mainstays, with the news from Daytime Emmy winner, Laura Wright, herself. Wright who plays Carly Spencer on the ABC soap opera has revealed on X, that she just re-signed a new deal with the soap opera to remain in Port Charles.
Wright is the fourth actress to play Carly, following in the footsteps of the OG Carly, Sarah Brown, Tamara Brown, and Jennifer Bransford. In fact, Laura left her major role on Guiding Light as Cassie Layne Winslow to take over the role of Bobbie Spencer’s (the late Jackie Zeman) complex daughter in November of 2005. Now almost 21 years later, Laura has made Carly her own and has delivered memorable performance after memorable performance throughout her run.
When a fans commented on X, “Can I just say if you ever leave General Hospital as Carly I will stop watching the show. I honestly have loved you and think that you are the best person to play Carly,” Laura Wright jumped in to the thread and assured her and other GH fans, that she has no plans to go anywhere else.

LAURA WRIGHT STAYING PUT AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND FANS ARE HAPPY SHE’S STICKING AROUND
Laura expressed, “I’m not going anywhere, just signed a new contract!!!” Since she made her public statement, many GH fans were thrilled with the news with comments such as: “I would’ve been devastated if you weren’t sticking around. You’ve truly made Carly your own after so many years, ” and “Happy to hear this, I always enjoy #GH more when Carly is on,” plus “So glad you’re sticking around as Carly. Love Carly and can’t wait for more #Caradine and #Jarly”
One fans hopes Laura will be on for years to come a la Jane Elliot’s tenure as Tracy Quartermaine saying, “Awesome. It’s so fun getting to see the full life of a character. Hope you stick around for many more years. I think Carly will be a hoot in her Tracy Quartermaine era.”
Laura Wright’s road to General Hospital started back on ABC’s Loving when she first played Allison “Ally” Rescott on Loving (1991 to 1995) and then its spinoff The City (1995 to 1997). She later joined Guiding Light as Cassie, who was revealed to be the sister of Reva Shayne played by Kim Zimmer. She played the part from 1997-2005. From then on its been all GH scoring a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy win in 2011, along with eight total nominations throughout her daytime career.
Currently, Carly is involved in a romance with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), but it’s on shaky ground with Anna Devane back in the picture not so happy to see the two canoodling, and Carly having been warned by Sonny that Valentin is not trustworthy.
However, after seeing Laura’s post that she has signed on to stay at GH, James Patrick Stuart commented on X reacted by stating, “Phew!”
So, happy to hear Laura has re-signed with General Hospital and will continue her role as Carly Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.
