The Young and the Restless star Mishael Morgan’s departure has not only shocked her fans, but many executives behind the scenes, too. The actress recently announced that after much consideration, she’s decided to leave the show to pursue other career projects, leaving the soap’s producers scrambling to find a replacement for her character, Hilary.
And now execs behind the network are speaking up about Hilary’s decision to leave The Young and the Restless. Many fans were initially shocked to hear that Mischael was leaving, simply because she had such a strong storyline with her character’s pregnancy. And while Mishael insists that there are no ill feelings towards, she’s leaving the soap to pursue other matters in her career instead.
In response to Mishael’s good-bye message to her fans, CBS senior vice president of Daytime television Angelica Rosas McDaniel is opening up about Mishael’s decision to leave. She wrote in a tweet, “Mishael’s many talents and warm heart endeared her to millions of fans, and all of us at @YandR_CBS and @CBSDaytime. We thank her for her contributions and wish her and her family all the best!”

Viewers will just have to continue to tune in to see how the show’s frontrunners will handle Hilary’s future. At the same time though,

No, not a fan of the character. I wish her well it’s not the actress I don’t like, it’s the character. Needs to be written out. She is gorgeous and I’m sure she will do well. I just hope she finds a nice human being to portray instead of a Hillary type.

I think the role should be recast. Her storyline is one of the best at this time superceedimg the Sharon or Simmer storyline. Her loss with the possibility of Jack not being an Abbott will severely hurt this soap.
Plane crash. I think Hillary and Devon will be lost (missing and presumed dead) after their plane crashes en route to or from their vacation. Devon will eventually be found, maybe seriously injured in a storyline that will span a month or so until he discovers the by now inevitable truth: Hillary and his unborn child didntd survive.
They already survived one plane crash…..I don’t think they’ll do it again….perhaps she’ll drown while swimming….or they may just replace Hilary with another actress….
NO NO NO
No
She played the part well. Hopefully they let her play out her time as a nice person who has change her life. Because I will alway remember her as a bad person. Show time
Who????
No, and I hope she is not recast,
Please don’t replace her character it just want be the same as she is
Doesn’t bother me at all. I welcome the change. Mishael Morgan always rubbed me the wrong way. I liked the not the character, just not the way she played her Can’t explain it nor do I have to but am glad she is leaving since her character will be getting more airtime. Usually left the room when she was featured
All the best to you Mishael. Wish I understood the reaction I have to you Maybe you reminded me of somebody in my past that was mean, cruel or didn’t get along with.
I understand the complete dislike myself
I’m sure you will do well whatever medium you choose
I hate that Mishael is leaving just when her storyline gets good. I didn’t like her character at first but she grew on me. I was looking forward to seeing much more or her and Devon and the baby. No one else can play the part like her but I hope the Hillary character is recast
I won’t miss her. I didn’t like the mean part she played. All the lie’s she told.
I hope they recast, although Mishael will be hard to replace
