That much we know—but who is he playing? That’s something fans have been trying to figure out and we’re here to add to the conversation.
Do you, as many fans do, think that Howarth is replacing Trevor St. John in the role of Tucker McCall? Let’s dive deeper into this delicious mystery!
Roger Howarth Joins Y&R
Deadline has confirmed that Howarth is now part of the Y&R cast but the show is keeping further deets private. The news has sent a cheer through the soap ranks as Howarth is a vet with an illustrious resume.
Given Howarth’s stature fans are speculating that he’s being brought in to play the pivotal role of McCall, a ruthless mogul with a colorful past.
Howarth’s hiring comes on the heels of Billy Flynn’s debut as Cane Ashby, formerly portrayed by Danial Goddard who is now appearing as Professor Dalton on General Hospital.
Who Is Roger Howarth Playing?
The show was also similarly silent about Flynn’s casting, leaving fans to wonder what character he was playing until the final hour.
With that modus operandi being used again with Howarth, it makes sense that he, too, could be a recast of a key GC player that fans are already familiar with.
Even before the news about Roger Howarth broke, many fans were calling for him to be a Tucker recast.
Is Tucker McCall Returning to GC?
It’s entirely possible that Howarth has been cast in a new role, or perhaps another vacated role. Tucker exited on a rushed note in June 2024.
In a curious post, Trevor St. John himself hinted that Tucker would be back. He wrote on X: “As you well know, Tuckers come and Tuckers go, and so the cycle continues… this Tucker is in his go phase…”
Tucker McCall Left in 2024
St. John was recast in the role after Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson, Days of Our Lives) had played the part.
In a soapy twist, St. John replaced Howarth as Todd Manning on One Life to Live—then was revealed to be a twin!
Will history repeat itself with a twist, with Howarth stepping into St. John’s shoes as Y&R’s Tucker McCall? We can’t wait to find out and will you keep you updated on this developing story.
