Malcolm Winters
Shemar Moore is making his big Genoa City comeback for the 50th anniversary of The Young and The Restless.
The actor starred on the show from 1994 to 2005 as the fan favorite Malcolm Winters. In his comeback episode, he is set to reunite with his daughter Lily (Christel Khalil), as well as nephew Devon (Bryton James), and stepson Nate (Sean Dominic).
This is the second time that Moore is reprising his role in Y&R. In 2019, following the death of Kristoff St. John, who played the character Neil Winters, he appeared on the show for a handful of episodes to honor his late co-star.
Faith Newman
With school out for the summer, Faith Newman, Nick and Sharon’s daughter, is returning to Genoa City.
It’s been a while since her character appeared on the show, but actress Reylynn Caster teased that this time around, viewers are in for a treat.
“Surprise! So happy to be back <3 you guys are not ready for what is to come,” she wrote in a tweet.
J.T. Hellstrom
In April 2023, it was revealed that Thad Luckinbill is returning to The Young and The Restless as J.T. Hellstrom for a one-off appearance.

Lucy Romalotti
Lucy Romalotti was first introduced to Y&R in 2011 as the daughter of Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Daisy Carter (Yvonne Zima). At the time, her character was played by a set of triplets.
It wasn’t until 2023 that Lucy returned to Genoa City all grown up and played by young actress Lily Brooks O’Briant.
According to reports, she’s only set to appear for a handful of episodes until she’s set to return to Portugal. But she’s expected to return again in a matter of weeks.
Harmony Hamilton
After nearly two decades, Chene Wilson made a splash on Y&R after reprising her role as Harmony Hamilton, the biological mother of Devon Hamilton, played by Bryton James.
Her return coincides with the comeback of Shemar Moore’s Malcolm Winters.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, James expressed his excitement over the return of his on-screen mom: “It was like stepping into a time machine, because even after 18 years, Chene looks exactly the same as she did in the last scenes we filmed.
“And she was just as brilliant in front of the camera. It was one of those amazing moments on stage when you truly don’t have to act, you just look at each other, and all of the history and love comes right to the surface.
“It was really a full-circle experience for myself and Devon that I couldn’t be more grateful for.”
