‘The Young and The Restless’ RUMOR: Is David Lago Returning To ‘Y&R’ As Raul Gutierrez?

“The Young and the Restless” alum, David Lago hints at a possible return of Raul Gutierrez. If you do not remember him, that would be because it was a long time ago [early 2000]. Raul’s return could shake up many storylines on the show, when you consider his departure from Genoa City in 2009 was because of a falling out with his childhood best friend, Billy Abbott [Burgess Jenkins]. Would you embrace Raul if he returns on canvas?

David Lago teased to CBS Soaps in Depth he would love to return as Raul if the opportunity presented itself at the right time. He noted that TPTB had asked him several times if he was open to a return since 2009; however, there were no concrete offer on the table yet. The Emmy award-winning actor would love to come back to “Y&R” as a changed man.

In 2009, he left the Genoa City after Billy Abbott was angry about his relationship with Mackenzie [Kelly Kruger]. David explained that Raul was ‘all too perfect and never did anything wrong.’ David hopes if he gets the opportunity to return they would age Raul, and have him embrace more of a bad boy image. He would love to be ‘rough around the edges.’ “It would be amazing if he came back having changed—he wouldn’t have to be a bad guy, exactly, but maybe just not so Prince Charming,” David explained.

If “Y&R” never calls the talented actor, Lago said he has kept himself busy. He has been a part of a film titled “The Bay Laurel” in which he plays a detective who is working closely with a Hollywood actor to find out who killed her husband. In addition to that, he also starred in “Rendezvous,” “Knowing,” “L.A. Apocalypse” and “South 32.”

When David is not filming, he is producing business commercials or TV pilots. His company, Via Lago Creative Media produces commercials, actor reels, TV pilots, and edits videos for smaller production companies. David Lago explained that working in production has been a passion of his since he was 15-years-old.
