Y&R Casting News

Soap Opera Digest has learned that Y&R has put out a casting call for Malcolm Winters, the role previously played by Emmy winner Shemar Moore from 1994-2002, and again in 2004-05. The role is set to start airing in November. The show is also looking for Tucker, who is described as a 55-60 year-old-maverick billionaire. The role is contract and will also start in November. The show is seeking "known, established actors."

Anyone mind telling me why this crap is necessary when they can't even write for half of the cast and many popular characters haven't had stories in a year, or in two years? What is this s.hit?!!

And I'd prefer they'd not recast Malcolm. They KNOW they CAN'T write for African American characters. I have no faith in this return.

And as for the rich guy, is he even needed? I mean really? They couldn't have plucked a back-burner character and given them story instead?

If there's one thing this regime has failed massively at is establishing new characters.

God, Y&R is awful and everything a bad soap is. Sigh.

Why is Malcolm coming back?! It's not like there are any black females to pair him with. And we KNOW they have no intentions of bringing Drucilla back. And they're not doing any gay story ever.

Maverick billionaire? Someone please let Maria know that was so last year!

"Maverick" sounds gay to me.

I read this on Daytime Confidential, I'm thinking it'll have to be a newcomer, Terrell Tilford could have possibly done it had he not booked OLTL. Once upon a time, I had a feeling that Marcus Patrick would assume this role someday, but I think it's safe to say that that won't be happening. (OT: Couldn't you totally see Lawrence St. Victor playing Marcus on B&B should Texas Battle leave?)

Have a feeling that Malcom will be used to replace Neil.

Who would u peeps cast as Tucker? I would hire Walt Willy.

How about Real Andrews?

How about Real Andrews?

I guess I could see that. Peter Parros, Dondre Whitfield, see those kind of guys are Neils to me.

Over at DC they are saying that Tucker could be a Victor recast!

That's because it was Madonna's label at Warner. LOL.

LOL. Tell Jamey to step away from that Haagen Daas!

I would not be shocked if it was. Unlikely, probably, but not shocking. EB doesn't run Sony Pictures nor the Japanese LOL!!

Could they be trying to get rid of Krisoff(ms) St. John. I hope it isn't somebody that bland, boring, & unintertesting like CKLily. They shouldn't write people to fit how CK plays Lily.

Wasn't there another Remy before Lawrence St. Victor? I really don't like Lawrence St. Victor. He look way older then the people who playing Donna & Justin then Texas does.

Well... if they HAVE to have some new guy in his fifties, my choice would be Greg Evigan. Coulnd't find a dude much hotter than him.

Lamman Rucker needs to be Malcolm. But it'll be a joke. He'll have limited screentime after a big opening story, little in the love department and they won't honor his history with Olivia and Phyllis (his good friend). And hell no his son Nate won't be returning! No way they'd bring on a second twentysomething...well a second BLACK one. And I'm sure this can't be good for Kristoff either.

What worries me more though is the rumor that the recasted role Gina Tognoni is up for is Diane. First of all, Diane is supposed to be in her late 40s at best...how old is Tognoni? You can't go from wanting her for Victoria to making her Diane. That is insane. So you're telling me Heather Tom or Amelia Heinle could be Diane replacements? If that rumor becomes true then they have truly lost it. Just bring back Alex Donnelly or even Susan Walters if you have to.

With Neil suddenly being cut out of the Lily cancer story i have this sinking feeling that Malcolm is being brought in to replace him.
