Young And The Restless Casting Shocker: Jason Canela Out, Arturo Rosales Exits

The first member of the Rosales family to hit the screen on Y&R will also be the first one to exit. Jason Canela, who has played Arturo Rosales since February 2, 2018, has said his goodbyes to Genoa City on Twitter.

“I feel blessed to have been a part of something so special! I appreciate each and every single person that makes up part of the YR family,” Canela said.

“Our makeup team, our crew, our security! Without them there is nothing. The team behind the camera is what makes it all worth it.”

I want to send all my love and positive vibes to the YnR fans who have been so welcoming since day1!”

Since Canela made his first appearance on the Y&R just over a year ago, producers have brought on Jordi Vilasuso to play his brother Rey, Noemi Gonzalez to play Rey’s wife Mia and Sasha Calle to play his sister Lola.
