Y&R Casting Contract Role of College Grad, Max! Could it be a SORAS'd Kyle or Someone Else?

The Young and the Restless is adding yet another character to the canvas, and this time its for the younger set!  According to CBS Soaps In Depth, “A casting call for the contract role of Max, who is returning to Genoa City after graduating from college. While he’s a clean-cut, all American good guy, Max seems to have it all, but carries a chip on his shoulder for certain people in his past. ”

Many are speculating that this sounds like Jack Abbott’s son, Kyle, who was last seen being shipped off the canvas for a Hockey Scholarship!  If it is Kyle, he would definitely be SORAS’d, and if it isn’t, who could this be?  Clearly, with the summer upon us the younger set is always featured.

Who do you think fits the bill for this casting call?  Let us know!

Well he should be close in age to Abby and this would do that.

Maybe a son for Darnell Williams’ new character, Sarge?

Whomever it is, please, please, PLEASE do NOT let it be more family for Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn’t be for Sarge. It’s something RETURNING to Genoa City.

Could it be another recasted Noah?

Another new character to add too the pack of newbies? Good grief. I’d rather they bring “clean-cut, all American good guy” Chance back.

Phillip Chancellor the IV is major legacy character, why isn’t he in town being groomed to run his grandfather’s company. We hear the name Chancellor all the time yet no real Chancellors (by blood) live in GC.

it would be a big leap if it was kyle especially with it being a college grad………i wold like it more if it was noah………..

Could be a recast if paul’s son Ricky or Noah

Could patti have possibly had a son during those years she was gone

How a about Scotty lauren’s son just in time to be a suspect in daisy’s revenge shooting?

They’re not recasting Ricky at all. Nor Noah. They tried Noah and it failed. Plus, Peter Porte is fine as Ricky. It’s either Scotty or Kyle.

Unrealistic if MAB does this for Kyle she should have done it right the first time. He is a yr older then Abby. I just scream this show is a Mess! How the morale can be anything but in the dumps is beyond me but still every actor from that show sings her praises I know they need a job. I would have more respect if they just would not discuss that woman who has the brain of a twelve year old and that is being generous!

Kyle? I hope not. The pre-adolescent kid left around Christmas 2011 and now we’re supposed to think he’s an adult? That’s quite a stretch. The new character may be Lauren’s kid, Scotty or the presumed dead Dylan (the baby Sheila wanted Lauren believe was hers). BTW, who is Jill’s biological mother? We know Neil Fenmore is her biological father. Attn: MAB this is good story material and no need for a bunch of newbies. Just saying.

Worse things have happening in the past concerning SORAS’ed characters. I mean, the guy playing Noah now played him as a teenager, then they SORAS’ed him again with someone new then brought the old actor back.

i think it micheal and lorin son

Do not SORAS Kyle, let the poor kid have some time alone without his mother.

Hopefully it’s just a recasted Fenmore, or something. But does this show really need more people? Ditch some cast and update the opener for once!

I am back in country after 10 years, I was able to watch young and restless and
catch up without any problem, it amazed me how a lot of the characters have
reformed do the writers not realize people have been following these characters for years I guess miracels are possible on soaps still it is hard to change my opinion of
some of the characters !!!!!!!!!

According to Hollywood Reporter…someone named Blake Hood will be playing the part of Kyle soon. Didn’t he just leave town as a teen? This guy looks like a 20 something actor. I have no idea who he is, but he was on 90210 re-dux. Didn’t they just wrap up the who killed Diane Jenkins so-called mystery…as if anyone really cared!

I LOVE Maura West, but quite frankly, she was screwed big time in that deal. Now the kid will be aged beyond belief. Should we wonder why the soaps ratings are so bad? Writing and Production that makes no sense. I am about to try the new/old General Hospital for a change. Maybe brining back characters viewers know and love and hopefully understand with the crazy writing/aging beyond belief going on in soaps these days will make sense.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
