I just read some great soap news! The Young and the Restless is giving Rafe Torres, the latest LGBT character in daytime, a love interest. As if that wasn't good enough news, the new guy is a legacy character from a core family!
Better still, the show has cast a popular soap star who was recently let go from Guiding Light to play the role, which shows they're serious about this pairing!
I'm talking, of course, about John Driscoll, who until recently played Coop Cooper on GL before the character was killed off in a car crash. He's joining Y&R as Philip Chancellor IV.
This isn't Driscoll's first gay role, either. He played the love interest of Christian Campbell's character on the short lived prime time show The Book of Daniel a few years back.
I'm really looking forward to this story now. The Young and the Restless is certainly a lot better written than As the World Turns at the moment, so there is potential for a great story here.
