CBS’s number one soap opera,
The Young and the Restless,
is going through some major casting changes as of late.
The soap let go of two major cast members recently sending the fans into a frenzy.
In the heels of these shocking departures,
Y&R recently confirmed the exit of yet another prominent cast member,
someone who has not appeared on the canvas for a while.
Watch this video till the end to see which other cast members are leaving or joining
Y&R in the upcoming days.
Summer actress Hunter King has been in and out at the Y&R
set to film her other projects in the past.
So when the actress took a break from the CBS soap to film an ABC pilot,
fans thought she would eventually be back on the show.
Much to everyone’s chagrin,
King confirmed she was exiting Y&R for real this time
after failing to cut the deal with the soap.
In her recent appearance on Soap Opera Digest’s podcast,
she said,
King went on to say that although she was out at the soap currently,
the door is still open and that she may return to
reprise the role of Summer in the future.
Her co-star, Michael Mealor,
who co-guested on the podcast,
had something similar to say.
Michael stated.
Less than a month later,
Y&R confirms that both Summer and Kyle are to return to Genoa City from Milan.
The soap is yet to disclose what brings these characters back to their hometown
but we bet it’s something very special.
The insiders at the Y&R set have confirmed that
both the actors have begun filming their scenes,
which are due to air this October.
However, how long they will stick around -
we have yet to know.
Robert Adamson joined the Y&R cast members in October 2012
playing the role of Nick and Sharon’s only son,
Noah Newman.
He was dropped to recurring status in early 2016
when his character was pushed out of GC to supervise his family business overseas.
In early 2018,
Soap Central announced that Adamson was let go from the soap for good.
However, later that year, he came back to attend Nick and Sharon’s botched wedding.
Last year, he returned again to check on his mother,
who was battling cancer.
He made his final appearance on September 7’s episode.
It was recently disclosed that Robert was finally replaced on Y&R.
It has been officially announced that
Rory Gibson is the one who’s replacing Robert Adamson on Y&R.
The actor is set to make his debut
somewhere during the fall this year, which also marks his daytime debut.
Before joining Y&R,
Gibson has worked in a few TV movies like A Night to Regret and Twisted Twin,
movies like Severed Road, and short movies like Breathe and Grace.
So far, Y&R has not disclosed his first air date or
the reason that brings him back all of a sudden.
However, wild speculation suggests he could be returning for a potential Skyle wedding.
Sean Carrigan originally joined Y&R in 2013 playing the role of Dr. Ben aka Stitch Rayburn.
His character proved popular with viewers when he was paired with Eileen Davidson’s
Ashley Abbott.
Ultimately, his romance with Abby made him even more popular among soap opera lovers.
Stitch was led out of Genoa City after some unfortunate events relating
to Abby and his son Max Rayburn.
And surprisingly, he came back after nearly four years.
Although fans were delighted and confused by Stitch’s sudden return,
it eventually came to light that he was not the same old Stitch that the fans used to
know.
He had become this weird person who turned out to be Mariah’s kidnapper.
Once Y&R revealed Stitch as a criminal,
it had become clear that his storyline was coming to an end.
And sure enough,
Digest recently confirmed that actor Sean Carrigan is indeed out at Y&R.
