Wha?!? Legit excited to see this. I barely watch Y&R anymore and don't tune in for that story, but totally will now to see "Joshua Lewis" back on our screens!

Robert Newman alongside a...Newman?

Trying to picture them as a couple, stranger things have happened, I guess. Good for him securing a paycheck. 

Maybe the CBS soaps have decided that they've scooped up enough ABC daytime soap actors and are now digging in the P&G crates?

Shame about Burgi leaving (and something about Y&R scrambling says to me that it was Burgi's decision to leave), but Robert Newman has bags of screen presence too. I'm actually surprised he hasn't landed more soaps since GL ended, because he's good.

Always nice to see him, but ugh. I wish it was on a more interesting show.

LOL. He could have joined GH's cast of thousands (not that I would mind him on there either).

I was thinking it was a Michelle Stafford/ Gina Tognoni thing. Maybe Robert was available or somthing so they switched. Because his wife said it was the shows choice.

Robert is very talented and still sexy as hell, but he'll be wasted here.

I think he's actually been doing a lot of theater and TV.

In a weird turn of events. Robert Newman (ex-Josh Lewis) from Guiding Light is the new Ashland Locke on The Young and The Restless. He is taking over from Richard Burgi who has announced he left the role a few days ago. 

Exclusive! Robert Newman Is Y&R’s New Ashland! - Soap Opera Digest

He would've been a good recast for Jeff Webber on GH ... sigh... 

Agreed, Robert Newman seems weird as Ashland Locke, better suited as GH's Jeff or Jimmy Lee Holt.

That's stupid if true.  Maybe Richard Burgi asked for too much money.

You mean there's one on the air right now?🤔

I never thought Robert Newman would want to be shackled to a soap again in his life. But a job's a job.

Omg, thats great for Robert Newman! 

I will tune in to Y&R to see his debut, even though I did not watch Y&R since Kevin saw that stupid chipmunk.
