The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Will Tucker McCall Be Recast – GH Alum William deVry’s Second Chance at Role?

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that when the show brought back Tucker McCall (last played by Trevor St. John) in 2022, someone else almost scored the part. Trevor St. John took over the role previously played by Stephen Nichols, but another popular soap star was in the running to portray him.

In a recent interview with Soaps.com, William deVry (ex-Julian Jerome on General Hospital) admitted that he tested for Tucker at the time.

In fact, deVry honestly thought he’d won the part based on how well things went during the audition process.

Since deVry knew Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers on Y&R, ex-Nina Reeves on GH) and Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott on Y&R, ex-Patrick Drake on GH) from their days on General Hospital, he actually spoke with them when was mulling over this possible job.

Once deVry determined that the role might be a nice fit for him, he moved forward with testing for Tucker and ultimately assumed he’d scored the gig.

Although deVry was taken aback when he wasn’t hired, he had nothing but praise for Trevor St. John and suggested that everything happens for a reason.

It’s clear that deVry isn’t holding any grudges over the lost part, but we have to wonder if maybe a second chance is possible.

Could William deVry still have an opportunity to play Tucker now that Trevor St. John has departed the show?

After all, St. John himself pointed out that “Tuckers come and Tuckers go” in his exit statement on social media back in June.

Once St. John pointed out that “this Tucker was in his go phase,” he reflected on his time in Genoa City and offered his gratitude.

Tucker disappeared on-screen quite abruptly, which suggests that contract negotiations fell through and forced St. John’s fast exit.

The show could easily recast again somewhere down the line, so perhaps William deVry could get another chance to play Tucker McCall.

Although deVry has a totally different acting style than St. John, it’d be fun to see his spin on Tucker next time around.

How would you feel about William deVry heading over to GC as a Tucker McCall recast? Would you accept deVry’s version of Tucker?
