More than a year since she last appeared in Genoa City, actress Mishael Morgan is set to reprise her Daytime Emmy Award-winning role as Amanda Sinclair on “The Young and the Restless.”
According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Morgan is currently taping episodes at the show’s Television City studio that are slated to air later this spring as part of a guest arc.
Storyline details surrounding her character’s return to the soap opera were not available at press time, but when she last appeared on the soap in February 2024, she shared scenes with Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman), Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott), and, of course, Bryton James (Devon Hamilton), among others. Since Amanda’s been gone, Devon has married Abby Newman.
“I would be honored, and it would be my privilege to return,” Morgan once said, following her exit as a full-time cast member in 2022 shortly after taking home the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Amanda. “I think when the time is right and when I feel like maybe I’ve even learned more in my life as an actor and as a person and I want to kind of bring that back home to ‘Y&R’ and into my characters.”
Separate from “The Young and the Restless,” fans of Morgan can also look forward to her starring in the all-new Hallmark Channel original movie, “Hearts Around the Table: Shari’s Second Act,” premiering Saturday, March 29 at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT, as part of the network’s annual Spring into Love programming block.

In the movie, Shari (Morgan) just moved back to D.C. after a breakup and hopes to start painting again. Inspiration hits when she meets Evan (Brendan Morgan), a repairman who winds up actually being a gallery owner.
