The rumors were true and CBS finally reversed their decision to let Greg go. I am completely drained after these months of fighting but it feels good to know our push actually held them to account. We were clearly heard and I will be keeping a close eye on the …

Started by Greg Rikaart Fans 9 years, 3 months ago

As you may already know Greg Rikaart's time on The Young and The Restless is coming to an end sometime this summer. After 14 years, the show has decided not to renew his contract! The news has hit us pretty hard, but we have been fighting this from the moment we saw Greg’s confirmation on his Instagram account. We hope that our campaigning efforts will prove to CBS and Sony that Greg is a highly respected and beloved part of the YR family and that the veteran cast members on this show are important to their audience.

We are asking CBS and Sony to renew Greg's contract and keep him on the show.

The momentum behind this effort has grown into something I honestly did not expect. It has been a long road and the fatigue is setting in, but seeing this level of passion reminds me exactly why we started. We are not letting this go without a fair fight.

He's a great actor and love his lines especially with his bro Michael. Yes Chole is gone but once Bella grows up then can be his trials raising a daughter ! Plus give him a new love interest he is gay in real like why not a man ?! It's 2017 !

I totally love his acting as Kevin on the show!! The way his personality is written, and how he plays it, is so unlike any other soap character and truly enhances the entire show! He is NEVER boring! Even his facial expressions are fun to watch!!!

Kevin finally has a storyline and you cut him. I've been watching for 34 years and not sure I will continue. The show is very boring and needs help. Kevin being a single dad and working full-time is a good story. Please keep him. Great actor.

Greg Rinehart is one of your finest actors. I do not understand why you have decided to fire him and limit story for the rest of his on screen family. You need talented actors. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

Please don't let Greg go. He's been a part of Y&R for 14 years he's part of the GC family and has come such a long way especially since he played every roll that was ever given to him, and played them spectacularly!

PLEASE do not make Kevin go!! This is a terrible mistake! Kevin has the biggest heart and the only comedy left on the show! Without his sarcasm, the show will become nothing but angst and backstabbing. PLEASE keep Kevin!! #KeepGregOnYR #YR

Please renew Greg's contract. His emotional performance at the funeral says it all. I cried so hard! Why would you want to let such a talent go?! That will be a BIG mistake on your part and will affect your ratings!I have watched him since he first came on the show and was so upset by news of his leaving the show. Please reconsider your decision.Don't we as fans of the show matter to you at all? And if he goes to another soap-that's the one I will watch! And you will lose a longtime time viewer -ME!!!!

This is one of the few characters that I totally enjoy on the Young and The Restless so Im asking that you do as we are all asking and keep him on the program. Too many more changes and you will lose watchers.
