Y&R: Tonya Lee Williams Says She Won’t Ever Be Coming Back to The Young and the Restless

[Liberty City]

Oh please, no. Enough of the whiplash castings. It's so bad, especially when there is talent out there that's never been cast that could be.

[Manny]

Oh I agree! I hate when they do that. But I was just saying that Y&R has done it recently, so who knows

Mhm, and while the casting worked [for the most part], it's a daytime trope that's becoming too popular now-a-days, and it's off-putting.

[SteelCity]

Just say DAYS! Lmgao. They have been taking it too damn far.

[Liberty City]

General Hospital is guilty, too.

I thought Tonya had made that quite clear over the years. But nice to see it official. 

 

So much has gone down with Nate over the years that her presence would have inform so much about his character. But...I felt JG did right by having Mamie come in to handle it.

I don't blame Tonya Lee Williams for not wanting to come back to Y&R after the way she was unceremoniously dumped in 2005. 

[Taoboi]

Exactly!!!

[BetterForgotten]

I think she’s just moved on more than anything else, and more power to her for that.

killing dru was so stupid.. bring her back!!!!

[Forever8]

I think most of us knew TLW's feelings about coming back to Television City, as she had turned down returning for the 50th last year. At this point, use this as a first refusal and recast. Nate hasn't had one scene with his mother since he was brought back for the last 7 years.

My Wishful Casting Choices

Amelia Marshall 

Vanessa Estelle Williams

Cassandra Creech

Dawnn Lewis

I always forget if she quit acting entirely or not, but Renee Jones was always one of my choices. Also Tracey Ross as well.
