‘Young and the Restless’ Casting News: Love Interest For Devon? New Character Arrives In Genoa City
Young and the Restless casting news indicate Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) has the potential to be a love interest. A woman named Candace will arrive in Genoa City soon. Devon lost his wife Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) not too long ago and might be ready for love again soon. Right now
Young and the Restless – New Character In Genoa City
Soap Opera Digest reports that Young and the Restless is casting a new series regular. A call went out to hire an actress to fill the role of Candace. She is described as an African-American woman in her 30s and is “a super-smart, confident, kick-ass executive with a background in science from Chicago.”
As a result of the recent departure of Mishael Morgan as Hilary Curtis, there’s a big hole in Genoa City. Therefore a strong African-American female would fill that spot nicely. However, let’s hope this new addition won’t take away significant screen time for cherished characters already on the canvas. Y&R news suggests the actress began taping in August and should appear on screen shortly.
Romance Ahead For Devon Hamilton on Y&R?
Candace is an outgoing, single woman but is also open to finding love. Young and the Restless spoilers recently show Devon’s loved ones encouraging him to live his life again. He has been mourning for a while now. However, he did attend Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) recent bachelor party, if only for a short time.
Nate Hastings (Brook Darnell) has been right where Devon is now. Additionally, Nate has proven to be a great sounding board and support for Devon. Y&R spoilers hint that Nate could be gearing up for romance with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle). Perhaps Devon will follow Nate’s lead. Candace may just be what the doctor ordered to help heal Devon’s broken heart.
With the death of Hilary plus Lily Ashby’s (Christel Khalil) incarceration, Devon has not had a strong female to confide in. Furthermore, while the siblings made peace, Lily is not there daily to offer Devon the support and advice he needs. Perhaps, a relationship with Candace will start as a friendship that could blossom into something more.
