According to Soap Hub, Jordi Vilasuso (Rey Rosales) is leaving Y&R.

Y&R Casting Shocker: Jordi Vilasuso Is Out As GC’s Rey Rosales

From the article:

Quote

In the April 11, 2022 issue of Soap Opera Digest, Vilasuso revealed that he is leaving Y&R and his role as Rey Rosales. There is no exit date — only that he will be leaving the show later this spring.

I'm guessing most Y&R viewers won't be surprised since the Rey character seems to have been in search of a viable storyline for at least a year.

Taking bets now that Rey will be killed due to Chance having a PTSD-induced flake out during a police operation. Then, will Shick reunite yet again, or will Sharon live in widowhood for a while? I've seen suggestions that they put her with Ashland after Victoria dumps him. I'm gonna take a hard pass on that idea.

Show never did know what to do with him.  I know it'll be hard to believe to viewers who've never seen him do anything else, but he was actually very good IMHO when he was on AMC.  Not so much here, though.....

I wish him all the best.

I was kind of surprised that they canned Jordi. They’ve been so heavy with the Rey & Chelsea banter I just assumed it was a given they’d hookup. I’m curious if they’ll kill him off because him just leaving GC doesn’t make sense. So they frees up Sharon for either Nick or Adam. I guess with Adam you have a triangle with Adam & Sally waiting. Nick is alone but Phyllis is out of the picture so there isn’t too much drama with them just getting together again. I didn’t mind GV. He hasn’t taken his shirt off in a while which seemed like such a waste. LOL!!!

It is amazing how JV lands all theses soap roles and then gets basically “fired” from them. That said, I think he left GL on his own and AMC was cancelled, right? He has the looks, pecs and abs. He can act well enough but he has never broken out as “The” soap star as others have. I’m curious where he’ll land. Another soap? I doubt it. Somewhere on the CW or some streaming service? Possible. He always seems well liked on all the shows that he has done so it isn’t like he’s a PIA but just never catches on with the character or the viewers.

He's also made of wood. Knotholes and all.

Was channel surfing this morning and happened to land on a 2009 episode of Ghost Whisperer which had both Amelia Heinle and her husband Thad Luckenbill as guest stars. This would've been after she joined Y&R and after she and Thad got married. GW was a CBS show so I guess TPTB were keeping it in the family, so to speak. AH looked great I thought. She seemed to have a bit more weight on her and wasn't so bony.

Also, apparently she and Thad are still married? I thought they had divorced around about the time he last appeared on Y&R. Nope, according to the googles and Wikipedia they're still together, at least on paper.

I saw that too. I couldn't believe how little on screen chemistry they had.

But for the scourge of SORAS, Summer only would be a few years older than Faith. Summer was born in 2006 and Faith was born in 2009.

I'll also reserve judgment until we see how the new actress interacts with the people Summer normally interacts with.

Or if she quacks.

Who is this Faith girl you speak of? LOL!!! I only see her at the coffee house and that’s it. Usually, the show is good about writing for the Newman kids but they never use nuFaith. I find it odd that they don’t use her.

IKR? The last time she appeared I was also wondering where Moses was since those two are usually joined at the hip. Maybe TPTB finally accepted that these versions of Faith and Moses don't work as a couple and decided to give up on it. One hopes, anyway. 😏

They did SORAS Summer a little earlier than usual I remember. 

I don't know about my feelings on it, HK I've become used to. But I can't blame the powers that be for getting frustrated having to work around her pilot/Prime Time attempts for all these years now either. 

MM was/is the best Kyle, best actor under 30 in a LONG time when he came aboard.

The Emmy nominations are a joke.  It's almost like they just throw names in a hat and pull out whoever.

In other news, I see that Meg Ryan is making a comeback with a new rom com film.  Her co-star is David Duchovny.  I'm wondering why Hollywood is bothering with them when they could have cast those two wonderful stars who blessed us with a masterclass in rom com?  (That's what the former exec producer of Y&R whose name I have blocked from my memory said about that terrific [sarcasm] Billy/Phyllis stab Jack in the back storyline.)

I know it's been awhile, but I don't think JT ever did better work than when his head was under the wheel of Noah's car.

At least it was my favorite scene of his.

But it wasn't JT's head playing Noah's speed bump.  That was Dirty Tan Sofa Billy!  Then he woke from his coma as this ghoul with railway tunnel-sized nostrils who we know as Le Buttbiscuit.

Ah, yes, Dirty Tan Sofa Billy!!  

Dirty Tan Sofa Billy, we didn't know what we had till we lost it.

Maybe Noah could do it again, this time with JT's head?

Color me shocked but I thought Amelia Heinle and Thad Luckinbill had been divorced for years and they aren’t. LOL!!! I was just reading in SOD her quick 5 questions and she’s mentioning him at every turn. Usually, I’m so up to date with this stuff but I guess I was wrong. Anyhoo! I guess it’s because I never see any pictures of them together. Not that I’m looking for them either. LOL!!!

That was Burgess Jenkins, Billy Abbott from2014 to 2016.  He's the one who looked older than Jack.  Good actor.

He got nicknamed Dirty Tan Sofa early in his tenure on the predecessor to this site.

Personally I preferred  the nickname "Cowboy Billy". I liked him but he was totally miscast as Billy Abbott.
