Ray Wise happy to be back on The Young and the Restless as Ian Ward, who is out for revenge
"He’s the ultimate confidence man. He can do anything. And he wants revenge. He’s been slapped or punched by pretty much everybody in Genoa City.

The viewers are going to be quite surprised by the scope of the havoc Ian and Adam will raise."

Stacy Haiduk excited to be returning to The Young and the Restless as Patty Williams
“I was with my daughter in New York and I got the email from my agent,” she recalls of getting news that the show wanted her to return. "I responded right away with ‘Yay?, followed by 20 exclamation points. I was thrilled. I knew that playing Patty is going to be fun. It always is.” Haiduk has already started taping and is excited to see what will happen with her character. “There are really no limits on what you can do with Patty. It really depends on the mood. Is she in a good place or a bad mood? She’s very unpredictable, but she never intends to hurt anyone. In the past, she’s been manipulated by the wrong people. It will be interesting to see if that happens again.”

One Life to Live alum Judith Light has always wanted to make a difference
"When I met my manager, Herb Hamsher, in 1979, I’d been teetering on leaving the business. I was doing One Life to Live, and I thought, 'What difference is my life making?' I told Herb, 'If I ever get any notoriety, I need to find a way to make a difference.' Certainly, he and his partner, Jonathan, have guided my career in a remarkable way. Whether I’m involved with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS while doing a play or working with Project Angel Food when I’m shooting in Los Angeles, it’s always been about where I can do the most good."

  1. Ian Ward again? Ian's storyline was meandering and irrelevant. Then we get Jack/Marco another meandering storyline that in the end was irrelevant because it changed nothing, and caused no real lasting impact. Now we get Ian again? Y&R what has become of you?
