Michael Gross finds family ties in The Young and the Restless

August 03rd, 2008 | Category: Daytime, Casting

The addition of Hogan Sheffer to the headwriting duties on The Young and the Restless is already making waves. In quick order, David and Sabrina have been killed off to construct way for new characters. With new characters comes news of a major former prime instance star joining the cast.

TV Guide’s Michael Logan reports that Michael Gross will be playing River Baldwin, Michael’s father, the one whom he thinks is a low-life, reprobate. A guy who refused to go to Vietnam and left Gloria to raise their son alone.

Best known as Steven Keaton on NBC’s Emmy-winning sitcom Family Ties (1982-89),

Michael is certain to bring instant credibility to the role. For one thing, we’re going to find out that River is not at all what we’ve been told he is. In fact, I’m betting that River will be a politically charged character, a man who objected to the war and chose not to fight considering he didn’t believe it was a just cause.

Watch for Michael Baldwin to discover all kinds of things about himself and the kind of man he is considering he shares the genes of a man he’s never known.

Michael Gross will start appearing on August 15.
