Vincent Stalba Joins the Cast of The Young and the Restless in the Recurring Role as the Assistant to Aristotle Dumas
There’s that name again, Aristotle Dumas! So many characters on CBS’ The Young and the Restless have uttered it, that it’s time to let everyone know just who it is already. Many fans surmise it’s actually an alias for the man or woman who is playing the business billionaire.
However, before you meet Aristotle, you will meet his assistant named “Carter” played by Vincent Stalba, beginning with this Thursday’s May 14th episode of the CBS daytime drama. According to Soap Opera Digest, Stalba will be appearing in a handful of episodes and is on recurring status.
Taking to his Instagram, Vincent teased his upcoming debut on Y&R saying, “New Headshots! These photos just helped me book my 1st series recurring, which you will see in 2 days on CBS!! Can’t wait to tell you more!”

Vincent has previously been seen in television and motion pictures roles including: Apple TV’s Lessons in Chemistry, Netflix’s The Vince Staples Show, the TNT series Claws, the CBS drama The Inspectors, and the FX’s TV movie, Hoke, to name but a few. Stalba also has a substantial career in regional theatre.
While Y&R fans know DAYS Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera) will soon debut in a brand new role on the CBS soap, the question is, will it be Aristotle, or someone else? In story, we first learned about Dumas when Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) came to Genoa City. Victor (Eric Braeden) has apparently clashed with the guy over business but the two have never met. Aristotle has also made contact with “Billy Boy” Abbott (Jason Thompson), who would like nothing more than to stick it to Victor. Recently, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) has come upon text messages between Billy and Dumas. Will she dig deeper until the cat is out of the bag?
With Y&R bringing onto the canvas the character of Carter, one would assume Aristotle Dumas, will not be far behind. But what are your thoughts on when Dumas will appear and the casting of Vincent Stalba as the assistant? Comment below.

I can’t stand the character name and now they say it 20 times an episode
I’m bored with this storyline
Me as well…stupid
Yawn
He kinda resembles Anthony Perkins
I really believe that Drucilla is going to be Aristotle Dumas
Unfortunately Amanda when talking with Devon, Lily and Nate, says, Dumas is not a woman, but very much a man, so not certain your theory will hold up, but it would have been fun it was her.
Carter as Aristotle ?
Does anyone really care? Thanks to my DVR I have yet to weed off Y and R, but can watch usually 17 minutes, there is so much I fast forward through –
I do the same thing
Billy Flynn will be Dumas, you can’t have this much build up and not have a major soap star playing the character.
Since so much of this new character is link to the author of the book the Count of Monte Cristo I believed this character Dumas will be like the character in the novel someone everyone knows, someone accursed falsely of a crime and was run out of town. While away he had to get plastic surgery for some reason, to get a “new face” and now is coming back to town in disguise to seek revenge of those who drove him away in the first place.
My prediction, Dumas but will eventually be revealed as Cane – Lily’s ex husband. It would explain why he is interested in Winters and in Chancellor– Cane’s family had ties to organized crime which might be the reason he needed to change what his face looked liked. And just like the character in the Count of Monte Cristo, who went from being this nice guy who got stomped on to this man filled with rage– this new Cane will be edgier, tougher and more like his mob family background than the Cane who first came onto the scene.
He is the only character from the past that I can’t think of that could fit with the Count of Monte Cristo story– Unless Dumas is the real Adam Newman, and the present Adam Newman was indeed the character Gabriel Bingham all along– and they had some type of deal that Gabe would temporarily take his place but Gabe liked being Adam Newman so he had the real Adam stashed away then forgot about him– and eventually the real Adam escaped and build this new Dumas persona. But of the two choices that one would a stretch so my prediction stands — Dumas is Cane Ashby.
Kane is now on general hospital
I know the actor who used to play Cane is now on GH, and if you read my post I clearly stated the character would have a different face, for that very reason. Soap roles get recast all the time and anyone who watches soaps would know that. So Billy Flynn as Dumas could be a recast Cane, so where the previous actor who played Cane is not an issue.
You just answered my question about the new guy on GH. Lol
So, what exactly is Damien’s job with him?
The person who Dumas will be is most likely be D Winter to get revenge on everyone that did her wrong.
My guess is Aristotle Dumas is going to be Tucker McCall.
Yes, I think that too
I said it would be Tucker because Tucker is relentless and it is the only formidable opponent to Victor. It never sat well with him… how his Mother CC left things after she passed on. And now that Victor has the company he wants it back. Tucker is Dumas.
I hope so!!
Cane or Jill or even what’s his name the one who married Ashley
I think it’s Tucker McCall
I agree
Considering Billy Flynn is only 40 years old. Noah is my guess.
After Victor took the company away from Billy and Phyllis was already mad about being fired and Lily was upset about Victor lying to her and Audra I for sure thought Phyllis, Audra and Lily were all three gonna get together and do something… but yes, maybe Billy Flinn from days which I also watch days would fit in the role of Dumont real good because he’s used to playing that type of character.
I’m just hoping it’s someone NEW. I don’t want it to be another Tucker or Cane. I want it to be someone mightier and more diabolical than Victor Newman, someone who can actually outsmart and outmaneuver Newman. Victor needs to have major payback for his deeds; he’s gotten away with too much in 40 years. That leads me to my “theory” about Dumas’ identity– one of the few people to actually outsmart Newman was Lori Brookes, and I’m hoping it’s her son who has come to continue revenge on the man who stole much from the Brookes’ family. I noticed last week on a rare outside-the-front doors set of Crimson Lights the newspaper stand with the Chronicle– old Stuart Brookes’ paper (this was a front line plot the first decade of the show.) I thought it weird to show the paper, and I’m hoping it’s more than a red herring. One glitch in my theory is Dumas’ interest in Lily. We shall see.
I think it’s someone who knows everything about everyone. Someone who has an interest in the following sinarios. If you remember it was mentioned he’s not going after Winters, he wants Billy Boys allegiance not really Jabot, and wants to go after Chancellor. Didn’t really want Phyllis there so she got a pitty invite, last minute. Then you got to have the rest of the cast to go for the other story lines to continue.
So here’s the reasons, he’s a relative of Winters, Billy Boy got screwed by Jill over Chancellor, feels he should have been in charge of Chancellor not Jill.
I think it’s Tucker, Devon’s dad, Catherine’s son who wanted Chancellor and is angry Jill got it and wants it back. Billy got screwed but Jill so who better than that to help get Chancellor from Victor.
What do you think?
Now that we know it’s Billy Flynn I’m starting to think it might be Noah.
Those are great suggestions and some ideas make sense. I think it’s Victoria’s ex(I can’t remember name) or it’s actually still think that Dumas is female aka Mamie.
Sick of story line. Bored.
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
