Y&R Comings and Goings: Shocking ’80s Character Return, Valarie Pettiford Recast In Amy Lewis Role

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers indicate a familiar name is set to return to the land of Genoa City, with an unfamiliar face.

Deadline is reporting that the soap is bringing back the role of Amy Lewis, a character that debuted decades ago in 1983 and eventually exited in 1988.

Lewis was originally played by Stephanie E. Williams, but the daytime drama has recast the part, and Valarie Pettiford will enter the role.

Y&R Spoilers: Amy Lewis’s Return Airdate Confirmed

Y&R spoilers note that fans should gear up for a fall return. According to the report, Pettiford’s first day as Amy Lewis will take place on Tuesday, October 29.

Lewis will be a recurring character on the show, so it’ll be interesting to see what brings her back to the little town.

In fact, Lewis’s return is a tad perplexing as most of the people she once interacted with are no longer on the canvas, like Paul Williams (Doug Davidson), as she worked in his private investigations firm.

With that being said, it’s important to note that Amy would sing with Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) here and there, back in the day, and while Danny is still off on his world tour, a lot can change in a matter of weeks.

In addition, Lewis once had a romance with Nate Hastings’ (Sean Dominic) dad – Nate Hastings Sr.

What kind of drama could Amy stir up in the little town? Only time will tell!

Fans may recognize the Tony-nominated Pettiford for roles in other soaps, back in the 1990s, like One Life To Life (OLTL) and Another World.

She’s also had guest appearances on television shows like The Baxters, The Family Business, The Madalorion, and The Blacklist – just to name a few.
