According to Soap Opera News who has since removed the post, a source has confirmed that Tyler Johnson along with Sasha Calle who plays Lola Rosales is no longer on contract. In fact, their report reveals that both stars were released from their contracts and it was not renewed. This seems to be something that happened before the break in production as a result of the coronavirus (COVID019). If this is really the case, then it means we could see both actors exit the show before the cast return to the set for filming new material.
How would Theo exit may be your first question. As many would like to know, would the character be killed off or would he be written off in such a way that it is left open for a return in the future? Given that Theo Vanderway and Lola Rosales were planning some business in New York it’s quite possible that two could get more serious in their relationship and relocate there, at least for now.
Below is a screencap of their Instagram as it is clearly displayed both actors have removed Y&R from their Instagram headed.
Theo first came to town being played by Nic Luken. Johnson later took over the role as Theo was given some ties to the canvas. Theo was introduced as a friend of Kyle’s (Michael Mealor). Kyle had no idea that his “friend” would later turn out to be a close relative. He was later revealed to be the son of Eric Vanderway who is the son of Stuart Brooks giving him a tie to the Abbott clan.
During his childhood, his family didn’t have much money as the lived from paycheck to paycheck. When he was 15 years old, his father died. He currently works as a social media influencer as Jabot. He was also romantically involved with Hunter King’s Summer Newman. Their relationship ended as Summer was still in love with Kyle and likewise Kyle with her.
Johnson may be gone from the show but we’re sure he will be popping up here and there. He has recently worked on Lifetime movies which we’re hoping he continues to do while not on The Young and the Restless. We also look forward to him doing some primetime work and finding success there until he returns to the CBS daytime soap opera.
UPDATE: At this point, this news is not confirmed. CBS is not saying either way but as you can see from the actor’s Instagram accounts they have changed their status. We will post more news as we get it!
NO!!!!!
🙂
Lola is good. I like her. Time for her show some paybacks
Yes i like lola she needs to get back at summer
Lola yes Theo no
No
Lola yes… Theo no
No, not at all.
No…his character added absolutely nothing to the show (which has gotten quite mundane lately)…just snark and deciet. As for Lola, a wishy washy character who is always on the fence about everything..they started her out as a strong, go-getter and turned her into milktoast. Such a shame but won’t miss either of them in those roles.
I would miss Lola I’ve always liked her Theo No he was annoying and vindictive. Never had good intentions!!!!
Are you kidding me? They made watching Kyle and Summer worth while. Why do they have even half of the folks on the show. Then they are going to get of Ray. They need to keep Lola there to show diversity. Why is Tessa on there or Kevin Chloe? The writing sucks butt. No excitement, no meat for this show. Ugh!!!
Take them to away and after watching this since it aired ill stop watching!!!!
Yes I would miss them. Keep them both on the show.
