Posted Saturday, February 02, 2002 8:36:32 PM
It could be a daytime first for The Young and the Restless - but it's not the kind of record that a lot of fans will be looking forward to. This week, Y&R will lose three of its top stars.
The on again off again departure of
Shemar Moore (
Malcolm Winters) finally takes hold this week as the actor says farewell to Genoa City on February 14th. Long-time Soap Opera Central visitors will recall our chronicle of the actor's planned departure since early 2000.
THE FULL STORY:
Read detailed information about Moore's exit.
Ashley Bashioum (
Mackenzie Browning) opted not to renew her contract with Y&R and will instead focus on primetime projects and a career in medicine. Though Bashioum will exit, Mackenzie will remain in town. A soap newcomer has been cast to replace Bashioum. Bashioum makes her final appearance on February 15th.

After being bumped to recurring status by her own request,
Alexis Thorpe (
Rianna Miner) has decided to leave Y&R to devote her time to other projects. Miner was apparently forced to pass on outside projects because her Y&R work schedule did not permit her to take time off to work on those outside gigs. Thorpe makes her exit on February 14th.
