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?

Don’t hold your breath waiting for this new manly vision to appear however, as the start date for the character is listed for later in the year.
Speculation is running rampant already: Is Derek is a new character, a returning character or someone who was previously on in a limited capacity? Adding to the rumors is the fact that the show had a character with a similarly spelled name on in the past.

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.
Derek Thurston was a hairdresser and cosmetologist who Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) got Derek drunk and married.
Katherine was later poisoned and she was believed dead leading Derek to think he’d inherited her fortune. But when he decided to marry Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) a very-much-alive Katherine showed up to reclaim her fortune and Derek.
