Trevor St. John Joins the Cast of The Young and the Restless
Look who’s coming to Genoa City! In casting news, One Life to Live alum, Trevor St. John (Ex-Todd Manning/Victor Lord Jr.) is joining the cast of The Young and the Restless.
Although at present, St. John’s role has not been revealed, he will begin taping episodes of the top-rated soap opera later this month.
According to Deadline,Trevor will begin appearing on-screen in the fall.
St. John’s One Life to Live run started in 2003 through 2011, and he returned for the 2012 ABC series finale, when a very much alive Victor Lord Jr. was part of the the final cliffhanger of the network version, before it went on to its Prospect Park online reboot.
Since his time in Llanview, St. John has appeared in numerous primetime TV roles including on: ABC’s Promised Land and CW’s Roswell, New Mexico as well as in the Patrick Wang critically-acclaimed films, In the Family and The Grief of Others.
Now the question becomes … who do you think Trevor will play on Y&R? An established character returning to the show? A new character? Share your theories in the comment section below.
It’s about time Trevor was back in daytime! Although I worry that it’s on Y&R which has become a snoozefest completely lacking in drama. And the show has a knack for wasting the talents of perfectly capable actors, most recently Robert Newman. I hope the same doesn’t happen with TSJ. I always thought he’d be back in daytime sooner or later, but I expected GH to snap him up. He’d be a much better Nikolas than the current actor playing him!
There were so many rumors going around last fall that TSJ was going to join GH. While I agree with you on the need for a Nikolas recast, Trevor is a bit too old to play Genie’s son. Could see him as a Jason recast, but having already been burned when Howarth came back to OLTL, he’d (or any name actor) be wary of taking over as Jason in the likely event that Burton returns to the role down the line. TSJ would’ve made a great AJ, but that character is dead-dead as they say in soap land.
I rather like the current Nicholas please do not approve this… I didn’t mean to put my full name here
Sorry, Phil but anyone would be an improvement to replace this Nickolas.
Oh Violet, what has happened to our Nikolas? Totally emasculated and not by Ava, but by that demonic Esme! Now he looks at Ava beseechingly like, “Aw shucks, Mom, I didn’t mean to.” Give me a break and give the man back his, uh, guts.
Soaphound
Your guess is as good as mine. I thought he was going along with Spencer to catch Esme at her game but than he sleeps with her out of the blue, betraying Ava and his son. Iam wondering where the heck I’ve been because I lost a lot of what happened somehow.
He ll spend weeks discussing careers paths or worse some mystery diagnosis or illness in which he ll recover off screen and never hear about again! Oh, don’t forget he ll be the 10th character to live at the grand Phoenix suite! A Josh Griifith speciality, all talk no action!
Guess any hope of a OLTL V3 are pretty much over (?)
That ship has sailed
Hopefully he is a tough new police chief!! The town needs one
I can hardly wait!!! One of my absolute favorites.
This is terrific news, hopefully Trevor plays Nina’s son Ronan Malloy. Welcome back To Daytime Trevor, he is a wonderful actor.
Tricia Cast is 55, Trevor St. John is 50.
Not that it means anything in TV land, but that’s a stretch.
Maybe a recast of Dylan???
So thrilled that TSJ is coming to Genoa City. Long over due for him to return to daytime.
Hopefully someone for Sharon… and someone who will get her out of Crimson Lights and doing something with her degree. I hate seeing such a dynamic character relegated to cleaning tabletops. It’s amazing the place stays open for business (same with Society) since there’s hardly any customers aside from the usual 4.
Adam recast?
Ronan?
Dylan?
Victoria’s latest victim?
Sharon finds love?
Maybe Nick’s son Christian is all grown up and back from boarding school
That’s funny. You do realize that St. John is 3 years older than Josh Morrow who plays Nick.
Will believe it when I see it. The GH rumors were false. Maybe a recast Dylan or JT but maybe a little older for that one.
Ill be the first to say it because of course it will need to be said but they should go right on ahead and bring Kassie Depaiva on board and let these two take over the city…
I always liked Trevor also. I thought he was really sexy, especially when his floppy hair would fall on his forehead. Hopefully he won’t get one of those dopey Roger Howarth hairdos; it will throw his facial structure off balance. Maybe he’ll be Ashland Locke’s best friend who was left to die in the car crash. Then he could claim money from the Newmans (how I don’t know). Maybe a new lover for Sharon; she needs a break from serving java and dispensing advice. ANYTHING BUT another new guy for Queen Victoria!
Definitely hope Trevor St John is a recast of Dylan
Nikki never even mentions her son
Sharon needs a romance other than those available on the current Y and R canvas
Chance needs a wingman (or the other way around)
Phyllis (wish Gina would return!!!) needs her sister Avery to return to GC or she should go on a long hiatus
Bring Ronan back as well, though someone who is age appropriate
And Chelsea needs some sort of storyline – seems maybe Billy? (they do share a biological child)
Omg I SO hope he is a Dylan recast for Sharon! She needs a new man and a whole new story. LOL personally I think Chelsea needs to accidentally walk off a cliff but to each their own
Love Trevor. I went to his fan events – he’s such a nice guy. I would LOVE him to work again with Florencia Lozano (Tea Delgado, OLTL). So, if Y&R could get FL – that would be amazing!!!
I think he’s probably coming back as Dylan for Sharon and possibly a new friend and partner for Chance.
Also give Nicki another son to smother.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
