The Young and the Restless News: Greg Rikaart Confirms Y&R Exit - Shares Heartfelt Goodbye MessageThe Young and the Restless spoilers and comings and goings have revealed that Greg Rikaart is leaving the CBS soap opera and we will be saying goodbye to long time Genoa City resident Kevin Fisher.

TV Line broke the shocking casting news earlier today, and now Greg Rikaart himself is confirming the news.  Greg shared a long and heartfelt message on Instagram and revealed that he is indeed leaving the CBS soap opera.  The fan favorite went on to think Y&R’s diehard fans who have supported him over the last 14 years.

Fourteen years ago, I booked a two-week long gig on The Young and the Restless. In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined what it would turn into: a career-defining experience that has brought me so much happiness and fulfillment. Playing Kevin and watching him evolve over the years has mirrored my real life in so many ways. We both found love, both became dads and we both have more gray hair now than we did in 2003. I have such love and fondness for the cast and crew of Y&R that when I watch Kevin enjoying himself in scenes, it’s hard to know where he ends and Greg begins. At the moment it is unclear what lies ahead for Kevin and I, as we will be saying goodbye to Genoa City for a while. I am sad to leave a place I hold so dear but also really excited about what the future holds. I cannot overstate how much gratitude I have to all of you who have been such loud cheerleaders for me. You’ve all enriched my life. So stick around. The journey is just beginning. 🙂

      That really sucks, he is a good addition to the show. there are so many others that should leave before him. Such as Christine, Lilly, Cane, Neil, Victoria, just a few.
