Y&R Casts Noemi Gonzalez As Rey’s Estranged Wife
More casting news out of Genoa City, The Young and the Restless has cast Noemi Gonzalez in the role of Rey’s (Jordi Vilasuso) estranged wife, Mia.
Look for Mia to hit the canvas on the upcoming November 12th episode of the number one daytime drama series.
If Gonzalez looks familiar, she appeared on the Hulu series East Los High as well as in Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, Rosewood, DARK/WEB and more.
With Rey’s burgeoning attraction to Sharon (Sharon Case), just what will happen when Mia comes in to the story?
Soap Opera Digest broke the casting news. While Vilasuso welcomed Noemi with a tweet “Yes!” Welcome to Genoa City, Noemi!”
So, what do you think of Y&R beefing up more of the Rosales clan and Rey’s back-story? Comment below.
Let me say first, I am beginning to enjoy Rey and Lola. But,is it really necessary to bring his wife on now? We barely know anything about Rey and his story with Sharon is just beginning. So, another newcomer is introduced? Before i am slammed, I like newbies and i know they are necessary for the continuation of a show. But, not at rapid fire and again, not at the expense of established characters.
They are much cheaper than a character that has been on scene for 41 years. No offence to Doug D. but the budget is driving these exits.
I think the idea to introduce Ray’s wife now could possibly be due to Abby and others interest in Ray’s background, and the fued with his brother Arturo.Methinks something happened with this woman and the two brothers.Maybe she was with Arturo first and Rey interferred, or Arturo came between Rey and his wife.I remember Rey asking Arturo if he’d told Abby what he’d done. I like both these men,and hate to find out,one is really a dog!
Oh, goody – another character “Y & R” does NOT need – send these Rosales people packing and take Mal Young with you!!!!
AGREED!!
Ain’t gonna happen.Genoa City will be renamed Margaritaville,O’le! Sorry, but I hope I am just making a bad joke.
No offense to this actress, but I don’t want more Rey, in any way.
AGREED.
Mal Young: “Can I get a whoop whoop for more members of the Rosales clan?”
Viewers: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
Noemi Gonzalez/Mia is very pretty and so far it’s hard to picture her as Rey’s wife..
Looking forward to the New stories.
I am a fan of the Rosales family, they are new and refreshing.
It didn’t mention how long ‘Mia’ will be with Y&R..
Is she a short stint or long time?
Enough already. Slow down the build up until we leave all of them!
Enough with the newbies, Mal Young needs to be fired, send the sob back to the UK. He is killing Y&R. I do like Lola, she is my favorite new character. Get rid of Nate and the boring Tessa. Bring back Nina Webster and Sheila Carter. Amen. You
They are determined to shove Rey, etc. down our throats. NO. THANK. YOU. I am not interested in Rey, Arturo, Lolo, their background, sibling rivalry, or exes. I’ll be tuning out after Eileen’s exit.
Looks like we got a Telenova going on here! Hopefully she can give Arturo and Rey acting lessons!
One of the best writers in the industry Douglas Marland always said be slow introducing new characters so the audience can care about them don’t make characters that people love and have been on the show a long time do stupid stuff that’s out of character. I am shocked that MY has been given free reign but I believe the Bells sold their rights. Doug was on recurring since Jan I think he got kicked to the curb because of social media I could have written for him I think he got a raw deal
Let’s just call this what it is: Y&R is no longer a predominantly rich, WHITE person show, and many people can’t handle it. There is no way that Paul Williams, Cristine, Nina, or Sheila (for the 800th time) were EVER more interesting than the new characters. NEVER. The reactions are more offensive than the show. OK. let’s see Billy and Syphilis MORE instead; that’s really an improvement. Let’s see Grandpa Mumbles cross his arms as a substitute for acting and watch him yell at Nikki and Jack MORE. GMAFB.
I love this comment. If soaps have any chance of surviving (which seems unlikely) they have to feature more than rich, white people. Yes, a lot of new characters are being introduced quickly — but Y&R is pretty far behind in the diversity game so it has a lot of ground to make up.
I like the Rosales family.
I love Mia in TY&TR. I don’t care what the nationality of the actor is as long as they can act. I don’t think Arturo or Tessa can act or bring anything to the show. Phyllis can act but please give her a better storyline. I don’t like her BULLY storyline.
I COMPLETELY AGREE! Phyllis is such a billy that is never made accountable for her actions. Tessa is boring and Mia is an embarrassment to all latinas.
Mia Rosales needs to be fired. She is a terrible actress.

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.
