#RichardBurgi #AshlandLocke #Y&RShowcast
HELLO EVERYONE, WELCOME TO THE UPCOMING SHOW.
The Young and the Restless has found its new Ashland Locke;
Guiding Light vet Robert Newman will take over the role from Richard Burgi, who announced his exit from the CBS soap just days ago.
Soap Opera Digest reports. Newman, who played Josh Lewis on Guiding Light on-and-off from 1981-2009, will make his Y&R debut in February.
Burgi has been fired from soap opera “The Young and the Restless” after breaking COVID protocols, he announced in an Instagram Live post this week.
“I felt terrible about it,” Burgi said in a message posted to Instagram Live on Jan. 11, as quoted by Variety and others.
The message was no longer visible as of Friday, Jan. 14. “I still do. It bothers me mightily but it is what it is. I respect whatever the show’s decision is. They’re doing the best they can, as we all are.”
Burgi had said in the message that he tested positive for coronavirus around Christmas, and returned to the set after five days.
