“Young and the Restless” Greg Rikaart landed a prime-time TV role, according to On Air On Soaps on Monday. No one can deny that he is one of the most talented actors in the business, and now he will be appearing in multiple episodes of TNT’s “Major Crimes.” It is a great opportunity for him to spread his acting wings, just a little- and to prove he is much more than a soap opera star.
His role looks like an exciting one- Billy Monroe- who is described as a young attorney and anti-capital punishment advocate. He was brought on to defend Slider (Garett Coffey) who is waiting for his murder trial to begin. He has been accused of killing Alice Herrera. He is scheduled to appear in the second half of season four.
Rest assured “Young and the Restless” fans, Greg made sure to point out that he will not leave the soap, instead he will appear on both shows. “Major Crimes” recently extended the fourth season which is air on Nov. 2.
Fans reacted on social media to the news of his new gig. Most of the fans are excited to see him in a role other than Kevin Fisher. One fan posted they hoped he can make the show watchable again (“Major Crimes”). We know Greg Rikaart will be successful in any role he is in. Soap Opera Spy will update his air date as soon as it becomes available.

Good for him! He’s one of the only characters I like on Y&R. Don’t watch as much anymore. I just see what you have to say and maybe I’ll tune in, Thanx! But If Victor ever pays I’ll start watching faithfully again.
Kevin is a great breath of fresh air to Y&R and I am so happy for him to land a “gig” on another show as well. I am sure he will play any role with gusto and breathe life into it as well. Kudo to you Kevin……..(Greg). Proud of you.!!!!!
I love Kevin on Y&R and I also love “Major Crimes”. I’m looking forward to seeing Greg displaying his acting talents on a another show. I can hardly wait until November for “Major Crimes” 4th season to begin. I know Greg will be a great asset to the already well-done show.
