I'm trying to remember who the last popular new character (or recast) on Y&R was.

[Jdee43]

Funny; today's YR episode had an actor who I thought looked very much like Flynn, with the dark beard and everything.

Abby's breakdown and "death." And the pairing with Gabi, I think.

Currently Audra, who started back in 2022. He did also bring back Diane successfully and did a complete overhaul of Summer with successful recast in a new direction back around the time.

Prior to that you’d have to go with Hilary from his 2012-13 run. 

A serial killer story for the show’s 50th. He also wrote the rape twist of Chase & Ciara.

Thanks. 

I don't really watch enough to know of Audra but I do appreciate the Diane return.

Those stories were so gruesome...and the rape story took place in the Horton living room.

I'm not familiar with his work, so as a Y&R fan, the idea of any new character just seems boring.

Even though no one really dies on DAYS, killing Abigail was such a bad, depressing story. Billy Flynn had grown into arguably the best actor on the show. I really enjoyed Chad's relationship with Julie, too. 

Hopefully, he'll be well-used at Y&R.

Flynn's exit is just one of several recent changes behind the scenes at DAYS, with more to come. I'm hearing things aren't great from a financial perspective at the show.

[YRfan23]

I don’t trust JG either way but maybe he will be Scotty Grainger?? (Not that the show will ever do right by any of Lauren’s sons) 

[1974mdp]

Chase raping Ciara on the Horton living room couch was such a HORRIBLE story twist. The character of Chase actually had potential, not to mention the story itself was so unnecessary and wrong on many, many levels.

This is feeling very much like when Laura Wright jumped from GL to GH back in 2005.

The show as it is or airing on Peacock too? If that makes sense lol

[Errol]

Not sure what you mean. I'm talking about budget cuts and people bolting due to cutbacks.

[BetterForgotten]

Oh god, DAYS always looks cheap as hell. Are they going to start shooting the show out of a cardboard box next? 

The Peacock-only model always seemed like an experiment to me that needed to be financially validated in the long term. So, I guess, we’ll see how that manifests itself…
