Is another new face coming to Genoa City?

Phyllis Recast As Gina Tognoni & To Appear This Summer?

Actor Cameron Mathison may soon join the cast of The Young and the Restless, according to new reports. The former All My Children star reportedly visited the CBS studios and is possibly taking the role of Adam Newman, who was recently involved in a tragic car accident. While it was initially assumed that Adam was killed, recent episodes prove that the character is still alive.

Last week, a fan even tweeted Mathison urging him to take the role of Adam Newman on the hit soap opera. Yet, Mathison didn't confirm any casting news. Instead, he responded: "haha! Very sweet. It would be great.It's a tough recast(if that's what they are doing). Hope they find someone the fans accept."

Fans Outraged By Adam Newman Recast Rumors 

Michael Muhney, who played the character since 2009, was fired from the series in December after he allegedly groped his co-star, Hunter King, according to TMZ.

However, the actor spoke about his departure with Huffington Post Canada TV that month and revealed what he believes is the real reason.

"Part of me feels this is because I've always been outspoken, and sometimes I've been too outspoken. Sometimes I've walked around with a big backpack full of hubris. That is entirely on me," he said. "If I'm going to claim to be a grown man, I have to own that. But it could be financial or story. It was explained to me that CBS and Sony want to give Adam a break for 3-6 months and then they'll bring him back with a different actor."
