AceShowbiz - Trevor St. John, the veteran actor who has skillfully brought the character of Tucker McCall to life on the beloved soap opera "The Young and the Restless", is officially parting ways with the show. St. John, who shared the news on social media on June 18, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the fans and the show's team, announcing, "Tuckers come and Tuckers go, and so the cycle continues... this Tucker is in his go phase."
For two years, St. John has been the face of Tucker McCall, a billionaire tycoon embroiled in gripping storylines on the CBS series. This role, previously portrayed by William Russ and Stephen Nichols, has been a highlight in St. John's illustrious career, which includes a memorable ten-year run as Todd Manning/Victor Lord, Jr. on "One Life to Live".
"I feel so fortunate to have played such a terrific role," St. John shared via X, formerly Twitter, thanking the cast, crew, producers and fans who supported him. "Most importantly, I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to you the [Young and the Restless] fans. THANK YOU!"
In addition to his farewell, St. John assured fans that his departure from "The Young and the Restless" does not mark an end to his acting career. He hinted at several projects in the works, including his latest movie, "A Good Enough Day", which is now available on Tubi. Despite this significant career shift, the actor remains active and committed to his craft.
St. John's exit from the show follows other recent departures, such as Brian Gaskill, who played Seth Morgan. Gaskill's character was written off earlier this year in dramatic fashion, a common occurrence in the ever-evolving world of soap operas.
Meanwhile, the soap opera scene continues to evolve with notable casting news. Crew Morrow, son of Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman on "The Young and the Restless"), is set to join "The Bold and the Beautiful" as a recast of Will Spencer. This new development promises intriguing summer storylines for the CBS daytime drama.
Trevor St. John leaves behind a legacy of compelling performances and loyal fan following on "The Young and the Restless". As he bids farewell to Tucker McCall, the doors to new opportunities and roles remain wide open for this versatile actor.
