‘The Young And The Restless’ alum Wilson Bethel just landed a major gig on the ABC drama ‘How To Get Away With Murder.’  We hate to see ‘Y&R’ cast members go – but we love to see them make a name for themselves on primetime television.  Wilson Bethel has been doing big things since he left ‘The Young And The Restless!’
