Actor Michael E. Knight has been let go from his role of Dr. Simon Neville on The Young and the Restless, reports Michael Logan from TV Guide.

The decision to drop Knight was made before Jill Farren Phelps was replaced as executive producer of The Young and the Restless by Mal Young.

Logan posted on twitter, “Three time Emmy winner Michael E. Knight out as Dr. Simon Neville after a few more eps. Decision made before EP switch.”

Knight shot to daytime fame as Tad Martin on All My Children.
