The Young And The Restless Spoilers – A Casting Call Has Gone Out
The casting description describes their target actor as being in his “mid-30s. White male, All-American. He’s an incredibly attractive and physically fit leading man. He’s a playful, roguish adventurer. Has seen enough to be jaded but strong enough to remain at heart an optimist. Tough-minded when he needs to be, yet isn’t afraid to show his emotions to get his point across.”
Ok fans, Derek sounds like a dream boat, don’t you think?

Dereck tried to attack Cricket after the verdict and ultimately jumped out of a window to his death in order to avoid going to prison.
And very early on in the show there was a Derek Thurston, who was played by three different actors: Joe La Due, Caleb Stoddard, and Jeff Cooper.
