Y&R leak confirms two major exits including a male and a female actor – Are your favorites going too?
Less than a month after bidding goodbye to Jordi Vilasuso, The Young and the Restless is looking forward to cutting more actors from the soap – inside leak states. As a matter of fact, the CBS sudser is heading for some major casting changes as the buzz hints that one lead male and one lead female are on the verge of being canceled. Who are those actors? Could they be your favorite ones? Let’s find out.
Willy and Cassie podcast co-host confirms the upcoming exits
Soap Dirt revealed in its latest article that Y&R is heading for another casting shuffle which will include the exits of two major actors from the soap. The source got exclusive details from Willy and Cassie podcast co-host Party Will. As per Soap Dirt, Will disclosed the names of those exiting cast members. However, it has decided to keep it hush until Y&R officially announces these departures. It surely did reveal a lot of other important details, though.
Reportedly, among the rumored exiting actors, the male actor is supposed to have won multiple Daytime Emmy awards. You may be wondering how can someone with such prestige end up like that. But let us remind you – it’s not the first time Y&R is walking down this path. Y&R has shown the door to many lead actors, be it because of personal reasons or budget issues. This upcoming exit, however, seems to be taking place because of the show’s tight budget.
Although we did not get the exact name of the actor, Soap Dirt’s information has us assuming that Billy Abbott actor Jason Thompson could be the one who is leaving. Here’s why. SD says that the character has been all over the place and rubbed the fans the wrong way. Most importantly, it has been mentioned that he’s a legacy offspring.
Although nothing can be said for sure just yet, we believe that the character won’t meet the same fate as Rey Rosales. If it’s Billy, as we believe, he might just head out on a soul-searching mission as a lot of things are keeping him restless these days.
Y&R leak warns big changes may take place behind the camera as well
Moving on, let’s talk about the other actor who may be leaving Y&R next. As mentioned before, the other actor is a female and reportedly, she could be popping up on another soap after leaving Y&R.
Like with the previous actor, we don’t know her name yet. But judging by SD’s description which states that there are not quite enough men to go around for this character, we assume that they are talking about Brytni Sarpy’s character Elena Dawson.
Brytni’s character has not been involved in any front burner storyline in a long time. As of late, Y&R has been hinting at a potential love triangle with Imani confidently shooting her shot at Nate Hastings. Spoilers tease that Nate and Imani may end up as a couple, following which heartbroken Elena leaves GC for good.
Although nothing can be said for sure regarding the actors who are leaving, viewers can expect to see some big changes on the Y&R canvas in the upcoming days. In the meantime, there is also chatter that there could be big changes afoot behind the scenes which may include Josh Griffith’s firing as well. We will find out if there is any truth to this rumor very soon and be back with updates.
