‘Young & the Restless’ Fans Are Upset That Trevor St. John Is Leaving
St. John’s announcement has many Y&R fans upset. Dozens took to Reddit to discuss the news and many expressed being sad.
“Aw man. He was awesome! I don’t want him to go,” one person wrote.
“They haven’t given him anything to stay for, so I don’t blame him. The writing of his character has been absolutely atrocious. No matter how amazing of an actor he is, that awful dialogue / story lines don’t do anyone any favors. I will miss seeing the actor on my screen. I really enjoy him in the role,” someone else said.
“He’s the only reason I still watch Y&R,” a third comment read.
“They can’t keep any good talent on this show. They let Michael E. Knight get away, and they squandered Robert Newman. I’m extremely disappointed,” a fourth Redditor added.
“I’m sad – he made me root for Tucker. His acting was so much more natural than most of the other actors on the show, he’s also a sexy beast. But I would be tired of the crap material they have been giving him if I were him too,” another said.
