The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Here’s Why Imani Benedict (Leigh-Ann Rose) Is Being Recast

‘The Young and the Restless’ spoilers show that we will be seeing a new face in the role of Imani Benedict coming up next month. While Leigh-Ann Rose has been killing it as Amanda Sinclair’s (Mishael Morgan) sister and continues her constant flirting with Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), we will, unfortunately, be seeing a new face enter into the role.

Imani came into Genoa City and has been a character that pops up here and there since her family altercation with Amanda, and while she now has a sort of storyline by trying to make Nate cheat, she has not really been involved with too many storylines, though, fans still love her.

‘The Young And The Restless’ Spoilers – Who Are They Recasting Her With?

As it turns out, the show is recasting Rose for Denise Boutte. Boutte you might recognize from NBC’s ‘Days of our Lives’ during her stint from 2004-2007 in the role of Danielle Calder. She is also currently appearing as Raven Sinclair on ‘The Family Business’ as well as the voice of Raquel Ervin on ‘Young Justice’.

She is also set to transform herself for the upcoming drama ‘The Missing’ as Raina Sidner and ‘Angie’s Cure’ as Denyce. She’ll also be appearing on an Amazon Prime series called ‘Kombucha Cure’. She has plenty of experience and we look forward to seeing how she does in the role.

Y&R Spoilers – Why Are They Recasting?

Thankfully, all of this will not be causing a huge stir, as the recasting will only be temporary as Leigh-Ann Rose had some scheduling conflicts and another one of her projects. So in the end, we will be seeing Leigh-Ann return to the role of Imani.

As for the other project, we’re not entirely sure what it is yet but are keeping an eye out. In the next few weeks, we will still see Leigh-Ann in the role. Denise Boutte will make her debut next month on September 6, but for how long, we’re still not quite sure.

Imani hasn’t kept her attraction to Nate a secret, as viewers of the CBS soap opera are aware, despite Amanda’s warnings for her to back off. We’ll find it interesting to watch Boutte temporarily assume the sassy persona, and we can’t wait to see her again during the day.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Leigh-Ann Rose and do you think Denise Boutte will do alright in the role of Imani Benedict? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Vickie

      I agree 100%!!!

  • Millie

    Not a fan or her role. Also Chelsea needs to slow down her talking so is way too hyper

  • June

    Total fan of Leigh-Ann Rose, but looking forward to Boutte

  • Regina

    Love Adam! Hate what Victor does to him. Absolutely loved his and Sally’s relationship! Hot hot hot! They make a killer couple. Thought he would have finally found a real partner. Need that work out.

    • Michaela

      I totally agree. I really hate how they treat him. I hope he takes Jack’s offer and win, win, win. Bring Sally back in his life. Please do not make her have a relationship with Nick. I have a feeling that’s where this is going.

  • Deb

    Get rid of Imani

  • Evelyn

    I don’t like the whole in your face flirting right in front of Elena and Nate acting clueless about it! I do not like that whole storyline. I mean let somebody be happy in a relationship!! Let it come out that Imani was lying about the meeting with Sally just to get with Nate so he will know the Elena is not exaggerating and that Imani is the one filling his head up with the family against him business and causing the tension. I do not want Devon to mess up his relationship with Amanda by getting too close to Elena… knock Victoria off of her high horse…. And Diane, well I’m just saying nobody else gets a second chance but she does. Lol but I know it’s just a Soap!

  • Gerie

  • Beverly

    Not sure of the new cast I’ve never watched Days of our Lives. I’ll let you know.,I usually don’t like to see people go after being on the show for years yet I understand if something better comes along. Cross my fingers.

  • Just Me

    Not a fan of Rose at all, so I’m glad to see Boutte take her place. Boutte is a much better actor. Hopefully they will keep her.

  • Aleda

    I had the pleasure of watching the great Mrs. C on a 1964 the Virginian on the western channel last week. Sure do miss that lady! Even in her younger years she commanded the screen just like she did on the Y&R.

  • Anne
