Who's Coming
Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe Mitchell): It’s been a while since Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) best friend has been seen in Genoa City but the actress shared a snap from the set, alerting fans to her imminent return. Expect her on screen this week in scenes opposite Courtney Hope as Sally.
Judah Mackey (Connor Newman): The young man will be dealing with his character’s recent move into a home that will have his father, Adam (Mark Grossman), and mother, Chelsea, living under the same roof despite being divorced.
Valarie Pettiford (Amy Lewis): As things heat up with Amy’s son (see below), expect the character to be seen leaning on both Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Nate (Sean Dominic).
Jermaine Rivers (Damian Kane): The truth was revealed on Monday’s episode of Y&R: the character played by Nathan Owens is not actually Damian; he’s Holden, and the the role of Damian is actually being played by Rivers. If the actor looks familiar, you may have seen him in Marvel’s The Gifted as Shatter, Law & Order: SVU as Officer Nick Quarles, Dynasty as Henry Bell and in the 2018 film Den of Thieves, which was directed by Christian Gudegast, son of his new Y&R co-star Eric Braeden (Victor)
Who's Going
Linden Ashby (Cameron Kirsten): Now that Sharon (Sharon Case) is no longer being poisoned with PCP, her visions of Cameron have ceased. Ashby, who began this most recent return in August 2024, has wrapped this run.
Ray Wise (Ian Ward): While Genoa City believes Ian met his end on the other side of Victor’s (Eric Braeden) gun, viewers know the the baddie opened his eyes. Regardless, it’s the end of this run for Wise, who began his most recent return in November 2024. “I was very happy that they kept the foor open for Ian to make a return at some point,” Wise tells Soap Opera Digest exclusively. Stay tuned for an exclusive exit interview with the on-screen troublemaker.
