Ray Wise joins Y&R as Dylan's cult leader father Ian Ward. He starts filming this Friday and looks to debut on Jan. 23rd.

Nothing against Steve Burton but seeing Ray Wise act with some of the very best at Twin Peaks and now seeing him in this role...not thrilled.

Hopefully he'll have a few good scenes with MTS.

Isn't this Wise's first daytime soap since Love of Life?

i wonder if that kiss-ass Logan will even mention LOL if he interviews Wise.

Ugh. Can't this story just die?

Man, he really creeped me out in Twin Peaks. Good choice! Though he looks like he could be Christian LeBlanc's dad more than Steve Burton's.

😑

Someone for Victor to beat up as he protects Nikki...

Really?!?

Okay, Love Ray Wise...but this is too much for a newbie...though I hope MTS get some focus on this.

I have this terrible feeling, that within a month or two, this show is going to be completely revolving around Dullan and his inner circle the same way General Hospital revolved solely around Sonny, Jason and Carly for a good ten year period. Not thrilled.

It's so sad because the entire block of characters is so dull. Stitch could be okay, but as part of the collective they are just so bland and forgettable. Usually when soaps are taken over by a new family they are more interesting than this. They usually don't work out when pushed to the forefront like this, but it's shocking how dull this family is and still they keep adding.

Why couldn't Nikki son be Stitch and the father be Greg Foster...

Oh that would be fabulous! With Jim Houghton back as Greg I'd hope.

I really like Ray Wise but this story!? Yikes!

It should have never happened and they continue to shove it down our throats. It's like that River Baldwin mess all over again. Hopefully Dylan does not have a whiny half-sister that cannot act herself out of a paper bag by February...

He already has one...

That's what I have been saying. When the cult story took place Nikki and Greg were still married. The cult leader was a woman named Simeko played by actress Helen Funai . If Greg was the father, this would pull Jill into the mix (oops forgot, she is now a Fenmore not a Foster).

Poor Ray Wise. I love his bad guy roles. It is so wrong that he is this desperate for work. He is much better actor than almost everyone he will be working with, especially horrible Steve Burton.
