Young And The Restless Spoilers: Christian LeBlanc Stares Reason Behind Hiatus, Cancer Diagnosis

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers suggest that fans should brace for a major character return in November. Michael Baldwin has been MIA in Genoa City as of late, and audiences have missed the funny, charming, and good-hearted lawyer.

The good news is, viewers will see him celebrate with his family during some special Thanksgiving episodes, coming soon. The bad news is his portrayer, Christian LeBlanc, recently revealed the reason behind Baldwin’s absence on screen was his cancer diagnosis.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Christian LeBlanc Opens Up

LeBlanc recently interviewed with WWL TV and talked about his cancer diagnosis. He notes how art can imitate life, as his Y&R character once had to deal with a cancer battle of his own. Christian states that he was first diagnosed with myeloma in June of this year.

There were some red flags that included some nose bleeding and a loose ring. Still, it was his droopy eye that was cause for concern, and even fans noticed this on social media and began to worry.

The actor notes that he had a tumor that had placed pressure on his optic nerve; however, he’s in remission now, after undergoing treatment.

Y&R Spoilers – Time To Celebrate!

LeBlanc lost over 30 pounds due to his condition, but the doctors have advised him to eat up, during his recovery. He’s doing much better now and is over the moon that he’s back at work!

Fans should brace themselves for not only a Michael Baldwin return but the entire Baldwin-Fisher fam jam, as Gloria Bardwell (Judith Chapman) and Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) are also set to come back to GC for Thanksgiving, along with Y&R regulars Lauren Baldwin (Tracey E. Chapman) and Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson).

On behalf of everyone here, we are happy to hear that Christian LeBlanc was able to beat cancer and recover. Who else can’t wait to see him back in Genoa City?
