I would say Connor...and the only 'young' besides Claire they write for.

ICAM, it was a joke lol. Everytime a "star" joins Y&R I say that they will be playing Brooks Prentiss or Jennifer Foster. Besides Josh Griffith would kill off Brooks after six months.
Besides

Just how every actress of a certain age was predicted to be Sarah Horton on DAYS until she finally materialized.

Y&R definitely needs new blood, but we all know these actors are walking into a zombie apocalypse. RoHo will be STRAINING to infuse these mind-numbing scenes with his trademark mugging. I cringe at the thought of him and Stafford together again.

Who knows, it may actually happen one day.

How many years did us DAYS fans manifest a return of Sarah Horton?

Which I STILL have not forgive ATWT for in my limited time as a regular viewer. Loved Scott Holroyd.

I loved his Paul! I think in hindsight I never forgave Goutman for Bryant dying, Will killing Rose, Paul and Jennifer. Those four characters had potential and great ties to the show, and they never did anything worthwhile between Lily and Will to justify what they did.

Aww Bryant. Preteen/ager Me had such a crush. Paul/Rose was sooo 'straight man/wacky lady' relationship done right for me and him in his suit...I see why I liked gentlemen and suits...lol. 

 

 

 

They need to stop with bringing in 'name' actors in the hope they will boost poor writing.

The cast is full of 50 plus actors. Talk about reverse ageism.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Ellen Dolan was my least-favorite  Margo on ATWT. I found her cold and brittle, and could never warm up to her. That being said, even I would admit she was a better recast than some of the actors chosen as NuConnor, nuPaul, NuDusty, NuMeg, NuCraig, etc.

Bringing this back to Y&R, I'll always consider PB as NuJack. Victoria Mallory was a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel, but her version of Leslie Brooks lacked the deep, emotional core that Janice Lynde had displayed in the role. Lynn Topping and David Hasselhoff ended up being perfectly adequate as Chris Brooks and Snapper Foster, but original actors Trish Stewart and William Gray Espy exuded magnetic star appeal in those parts, and couldn't be successfully replaced IMO. Forget Wings Hauser as NuGreg, Patricia Everly as NuPeggy and Dennis Cole as NuLance too.😬

Awww I could see that. I also remember some of those.

 

But back to Y&R hehe I can see that as well just from what I've read. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone who liked Wings Hauser. lol.

Great, more ABC leftovers 🙄

UGH whyyyy???

LOL my first guess is a Tucker recast too. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised if either Michael Easton and/or Kelly Monaco are next to join Y&R. 

@DRW50 definitely agree that Y&R is now feeling like ATWT’s final decade as well between the guest stars, short arcs, repetitive writing, having potential but always squandering it etc. 
 

OF COURSE it should be noted that Josh Griffin did serve as the associate HW during a good chunk of mid-00’s ATWT, go figure…..

I never knew that. Sadly, it makes sense.

Sure, let's have Kelly and Michael flop again like they did on GH when the show tried to re-pair them.

Todd Rotondi is a really nice guy, too.
