Trevor St. John Announces His Departure from The Young and the Restless
In a shocker, Trevor St. John revealed on Tuesday that he is leaving the cast of The Young and the Restless and his role as Tucker McCall.
The popular actor took to his account on X and in a series of posts said his “thank you’s” and bid farewell to the top-rated soap opera.
St. John shared, “As you well know, Tuckers come and Tuckers go, and so the cycle continues… this Tucker is in his go phase… I thank each and every member of the wonderful cast, the crew, the directors, the producers and production staff, and CBS/Sony for the great experience from day one to the last. I feel so fortunate to have played such a terrific role.”

Trevor continued: “Most importantly, I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to you the (Y&R) fans. THANK YOU!” Tucker might be gone for the time being, but I’m not going anywhere. I’ve got projects in the works, and if you haven’t seen my film, A Good Enough Day, it’s now available to stream for free on Tubi!”
The news of his exit comes just two years shy of his time on The Young and the Restless. St. John made his Genoa City debut in September of 2022 as the new Tucker, last played by Days of our Lives, Stephen Nichols (Steve). The role was first played by actor William Russ.
No word from St. John or Y&R as to when his last episode will air on the top-rated soap opera. In story, Tucker is losing his company to a takeover by Audra and Victor, while Ashley is finally getting help she needs after her personality split.
So, what do you think about Trevor’s departure from Y&R? Comment below.

He was so great on OLL – but sadly the writing for Tucker was so so disappointing. It’s thanks to a dvr that I can “run” through the soap for select scenes. One would think being “Catherine’s son”, they would have written him with her style and techniques in business. All we had was months and months and months of a grown man whining. Trever, send your resume to GH -maybe they can come up with a new character worthy of your talent.
Trevor is a wonderful actor, I will miss him as Tucker McCall. I am hearing rumors, that Roger Howarth will come to Y&R. I hope this is true. Maybe he can be Jordan’s son?
This seems to be yet another Y&R fail to establish a lasting strong nemesis to the Genoa City establishment. It disappoints more because of the character connections to Katherine Chancellor and Devon Hamilton and the capacity of the actor. I had high hopes and they are dashed.
I feel the same way
I really liked him
Love Trevor St John. I met him years ago at the Disney Soap Opera weekend. He was so kind and sweet. Stayed open until everyone had a talk with him. Hopefully, he will show back up soon. Sooo much talent !!
This seems to be a pattern when Josh Griffith’s signs actors to contract roles.
Gee, I was starting to like him and hate to see the slut and Victor get the best of him at the end. Good luck to him in his future endeavors, he’s a great actor.
Yes, Violet, I also liked him but the writers let him down. It seems all Tucker could do was prowl around the Club issuing vague, empty threats which never materialized. Too bad.
Well honestly a really good actor but boy that did not work almost as bad as when the great Maura west played Diane the character of tucker has been a bust and the playing from Trevor came off as creepy young and restless really needs to take a good look at itself he won’t be missed but the show has other problems and remains a hard watch
Buh bye. I really disliked his portrayal of Tucker. Always mumbling and it felt like he was phoning it in and didn’t wanna be there. I think it just might be his acting style because I remember thinking this same thing when he played Todd on OLTL. But there the character was supposed to be aloof. Tucker McCall is supposed to be charming and a cutthroat business man. This version went from one failed scheme to the next.
Such a shame someone so talented leaves. He was so fun to watch.
I do like Trevor but I never got into the character of Tucker.
Hope we see him in a new show very soon.
I never understood this casting decision. TSJ is 20 years younger than Stephen Nichols, who did very well in the role. Tucker is supposed to be the exact same age as Jill, yet that fact seemed to not matter anymore. And he was never written with any teeth – he’s supposed to be a ruthless businessman and provide a true nemesis for Victor and Jack, yet he was always moping around trying to win Ashley back. Ironically, Ashland Locke was supposed to be the same type of character, but he was also a bust. And yet, I think Richard Burgi would have been a much more appropriate casting choice for the role of Tucker.
I am sad Tucker is leaving. He added humor with his remarks. He is a great actor. Wishe he would stay but if he must move on I wish him the best and will be looking for him in other shows and or movies
Josh Griffith’s loses another top actor, Trevor was awesome, and Gina was awesome.
Can we lose Josh and get someone who can give GH a run for its money?
Y&R casts good actors and hands them lousy scripts
I never forget how Noah and Allie were written off just to give Summer and Kyle a story. That does the same stuff over and over again by doing nothing that stand out for me. I fear the same for HE (Claire) that’s going to be in a storyline with them which they think it makes a good T.V. Griffith cast two great actors who played Ashland and Jeremy also gone. Then the actress who plays Elena, and sidelined other actors who play their characters without given a story. Still there, Trevor is a wonderful actor with talent. You can tell I’m sad and disappointed that he’s leaving.
SO unhappy (and frustrated) to hear this. I didn’t know him before Y&R, absolutely loved him immediately.
This makes me tremendously sad.
Young and the Restless wasted this extremely talented actor on a nothing story that went nowhere for two years.
I’ve been a TSJ fan since he started on OLTL and was thrilled when he came back to soaps, but Y&R really blew it!
Thank you! He was the worst! Stephen Nichols set the bar awfully high but Trevor never sniffed the essence of TM! None of the characters liked him. I really dont want another recast. The character did his dirty deeds, be gone!
I am going to miss you terribly. You are a wonderful actor. I hope you come back. All the good ones leave. Y&R are blowing their chance letting you go. Good luck and many blessings to you.
He is better off this show is like watching paint dry
When Victor Newman gets too uncomfortable with his revenge schemes I always need to take a break from Y&R. Guess I am being penalized by the loss of Trevor St. John while on my unpaid sabbatical. For me he was a delight. I would have loved to see him go after Victor’s purchase of whatever that other company was called. Of course, we all love Eric Braden, but Victor often is too much for me. Hope Jack doesn’t crumble under the new multilevel attacks.
Trevor St. John is an excellent actor and one of the best things that happened to Young and Restless. I would have liked to see him with Phyllis, as they make a striking couple! I feel bad for your level of regret for letting another great actor slip through your hands!!!
It’s July 29th 2024 and I have not watched ONE episode of Y&R because of this !
The writing for this actor was extremely horrible. A waste of his talents !
I hope to see him somewhere on a consistent basis! Can’t get too much of TSJ !!!!
They should keep Tucker and get rid of Devon. He’s the boring one.
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.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
