The Young and the Restless is set in the fictional version of Genoa City, Wisconsin. The Emmy Award winning daytime drama recently celebrated 34 years on CBS Television. It is currently the number one rated soap on television.

At this time, we do not know exactly when his episodes will air possibly within a couple of weeks but he is scheduled to appear in at least nine episodes. His appearance could increase and continue depending on your support. Once we know the airdates, they will be posted.

Most of us will not be able to view the show during its timeslot so set your recorders and enjoy!

Congratulations CP, we are ready for your close up!

First of all congrats to the job Mr. Potter, though I can't believe that you make me watch soaps now. Lol, I should feel 15 years younger now, cause I think that was the last time I watched something like that.

What does that mean for Heartland though? Besides the pilot, won't we get Chris Potter as Tim Fleming in the upcoming series or is this role as minor in the series as in the books?

Good to see you here, Susan and Louise,
and with some more great news too.


Nine episodes is quite a bit of coverage for the old hair subject.
Even I notice that TY&TR apply make-up with a bricklayers trowel,
we could get weeks of discussion out of that.

The BBS could be running hot again.

I cannot believe the timing though,
after about 30 years on free to air tv in Oz, TY&TR was taken off in March and is now only available on cable.
That means the big suck up to my daughter with cable


Good Luck to CP this weekend at hockey, hope he raises lots of money.

Congrats on the new role Chris!! If he's taping now, we should be able to see him in max 6 weeks. Just in time for May sweeps.

From SOAPnet.com:

Chris Potter ("Wild Card," "Queer as Folk," "Silk Stalkings") will join "Y&R" as Evan Owen, a friend from Gloria's (Judith Chapman) past. His first appearance is on May 9.

Thanks, Lisa. That's great intel!

When the role starts, the Y&R will have more than a few new fans. Smart move on their part. Congrats on the new project, Chris.

I can't went to see cp on the show hes going to just rock. from kim from canada.

Maria, this is soooo hilarious. Channel 9 took TYR off just a month ago and now Mr P is gonna be on it....

Luckily, I do have cable - and of course I will record his eps and I'm pretty sure we are now pretty well up to date with what gets aired in the US. I think Aus dropped like 4 years of TYR and DOOL some time ago to get us on track with US eps, so hopefully we won't have too long to wait.

Gawd - I haven't watched it since Victoria was a mere child.... and Victor was handsome!

Yippee - Mr P is gonna be back on our tellies.....

There is a spoiler on soaps.com:

I am sooooo excited about this new role, also I do not know one single episode of the show.

CP is now featured in the cast list on soaps.com:

There`s a new hottie coming to town

Thanks for that info Valerie,

I found this Bio on Gloria on the Sony site, it explains her background in the series.

(hope this works)

Thanks for the info gals.

After reading that stuff about Gloria, I'm not sure we want our "hottie" mixed up with the likes of her!

Hopefully Mr P will play a downright in the dirt, nasty, scheming fella who is a good match for the wickedly evil Gloria....

Oh I hope so, a nice dose of 'Frank' should liven things up.

It does say he turns the tables on her.

He plays nasty so good.


Maria

I am happy for CP and the fans who will watch him on the soap opera. I hope we get to see him soon in other roles

That would be very niiiiice

What's funny is Chris acted with Judith Chapman (Gloria, Y&R) on Silk Stalkings!

Judith was in the episode where Tom went undercover as a male escort or something. I can picture the episode, but cannot remember the title. She was the one who told Tom her alibi was calling her huband as it was their wedding anniversary or something.

Y&R must be where former Silk leads go to congregate. Mitzi Kapture (Rita, Silk Stalkings) recurred for two years or so up until a few years ago.

Let`s see how long Chris will play Evan. The title of the Silk-episode is "Services Rendered".

Btw, Chris is featured in the current issue of "CBS Soaps in Depth" but I don`t know what kind of article it is or if it`s only one sentence about his appearance next week

For the canadian fans:

Chris first appearance as Evan Owen will be on Global tomorrow afternoon. Premiere date May 9 is for the US.

Hope someone watches and can tell us everything afterward. Especially what his hair looked like

in just one more day and cp will be on the youngand the restless" I can't went. from kim

So sad.

It would appear that Australia is almost a year behind the eps being shown in the US.

So sad.

TV execs here in Aus decided to delete 4 years of DOOL and TYR from Aus TV to get us caught up with current eps.

So sad.

Why, I have no idea - cos now we are way behind again.... how annoying.

So sad.

Coupled with the fact that the show is only airing here on cable.... it seems remote that we will ever get to see Chris' performance as Evan.

So sad.



Okay, I'll stop whinging now.
