Vivica A. Fox Return to Young and the Restless

Soap fans, come on in close because this right here is the kind of TV tea we love. Shemar Moore and Vivica A. Fox are officially returning to The Young and the Restless this April, stepping back into their iconic roles as Malcolm Winters and Dr. Stephanie Simmons for a multi-episode story arc that already has fans buzzing.

Now if you remember, Malcolm and Stephanie had viewers hooked back in 1995 with their on-screen romance — and let’s just say their return to Genoa City is expected to shake things up for more than a few residents. When classic characters come back with history attached, you already know drama is coming with them.

For Shemar Moore, this marks his fourth return since his original run, including appearances in 2014, 2019, and again in 2023 for the show’s 50th anniversary celebration. Clearly, every time he steps back on set, fans show love — and the show keeps the door open.

As for Vivica A. Fox, this is a major comeback moment. She hasn’t appeared on The Young and the Restless since 1995, making this her first return to the daytime drama in nearly three decades. Many fans first saw her shine on NBC’s groundbreaking soap Generations, so seeing her step back into daytime again is pure nostalgia gold.

Whether you’re a longtime watcher or just love a good throwback TV moment, this reunion is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about daytime returns of the year.

Get ready, because when legends walk back into town, the storyline never stays quiet for long.
