The Young And The Restless Pink Slipping Veteran Actors To Accommodate New Cast Additions?

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers show that fans are speculating about the status of some of the show’s biggest stars. The speculation comes on the heels of the soap adding an influx of new actors.

The rumors are flying on social media, indicating that many Y&R viewers fear cast cuts and departures given that so many newbies have been added. Let’s unpack what the bruhaha is all about!

Fans Are Getting Restless

Billy Flynn is a big daytime name who recently joined the cast, leaving Days of Our Lives to join Y&R as a Cane Ashby recast. Since his debut the show has spun around Cane and his shenanigans.

In recent months there have been several departures including Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck), Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), Damian Kane (Jermaine Rogers) and Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd).

In the case of Floyd, he migrated to DOOL as a recast of Flynn’s previous character Chad DiMera.

In recent days two other soap vets have been announced as cast additions: Tamara Braun and Roger Howarth.

Tamara Braun and Roger Howarth Join Y&R

Braun has worked on DOOL and GH. She’s been cast as Sienna Bacall and debuts this fall.
Howarth starred on GH and One Life to Live.

He will begin taping scenes soon and debuts later this year. Both actors are popular soap vets and as such the audience is excited to see them join the sudser.

At the same time, a few fans are wondering if there will be consequences as a result of the hirings.
Braun and Howarth deserve top dollar. This could mean the budget is trimmed in order to accommodate them.

Will the show balance the budget by pink slipping some actors? That remains to be seen, and this line of thinking is pure conjecture at this point.

What Happens Next in Genoa City, Wisconsin?

At this time there is no word about any actors being put on recurring status or being let go. But it’s reasonable to think this could happen with Flynn, Braun and Howarth joining the number one rated daytime drama.

And, you never know if there are more hirings on the horizon. Now it’s your turn, tell us what you think of Flynn, Braun and Howarth joining the cast!
