Sofia Pernas, who plays Marisa Sierras, on The Young and the Restless, has received her pink slip at the number one rated daytime soap, Serial Scoop is reporting.
Show runners let Pernas go because of budget concerns, the outlets says. Shortly after being ousted from “Y&R”, Pernas landed the pivotal role in the CW’s pilot, “Translyvania.” Pernas plays a gypsy tribe leader, who watches as protagonist, Victoria, arrives in town and infamous fiends and rapscallions from the past come to life. Perhaps due to her sultry good-looks, Pernas’ characters’ tribe runs the brothels and other dens of ill-repute in the city’s underground.
Up until the news broke, Marisa’s (Sofia Pernas) place in Genoa City seemed to be getting more entrenched and connected to more people. She had shed the shackles of her marriage to Luca, after Luca made it known he had no plans to abandon Passkey or Genoa City. Free to love Noah, she accepted his marriage proposal on the heels of him receiving his sentence of probation and community service in lieu of jail time for his part in the hit-and-run that contributed to Billy’s coma and almost dying. Her fate, as someone who knew about Noah’s part in the accident and kept quiet, hasn’t been revealed just yet, but [Noah’s lawyer] had indicated that the judge’s leniency with Noah boded well for Marisa’s upcoming case too.
If Y&R show execs truly let Pernas go for budgetary reasons, then Marisa will not likely be recast. But what will become of Luca, who still pines for Marisa, not to mention Noah, who found a soul mate in the arms of the caring, loyal Marisa.
Y&R fans will have to stay tuned to see what’s next for Luca, Noah, and the other people whose lives Marisa touched in her stay in Genoa City!
UPDATE: A representative for CBS has clarified Sofia Pernas’ status and said, “She’s recurring and will continue to be seen on the show.”
