The Young and The Restless Comings and Goings: Meet Genoa City’s New Lola Rosales, Sasha Calle

The Young and the Restless comings and goings indicate that fans will soon be seeing a new face on the canvas. That’s because newcomer Sasha Calle has taken on the role as Lola Rosales.

For Sasha, getting her first role in the entertainment industry wasn’t very easy. She was turned down several times and admitted to being very discouraged. But she didn’t give up hope, and that’s when she got the opportunity of a lifetime.

She told CBS Soaps in Depth in an interview, “I actually auditioned for Lola two months before and it was two months until they called me again. We did that one audition, and then two months later they called my agency and said, ‘We want to test her.’ I was like, ‘Oh, okay! And they said, ‘And we want you to read on Wednesday.’”

Sasha added that she got the call on Monday, but despite not having much time to prepare, she took the chance anyway. She actually ended up doing her reading with actor Michael Mealor, who portrays Kyle on the show.

Sasha continued, “It was a beautiful test. I mean, it was so lovely. They wanted to know all about me, they asked me questions about my life and I called my agency and said, ‘It couldn’t have gone better.’ And then 40 minutes later they called me to say I got it. I was so happy and I started crying.”
