As previously reported, Lindsey McKeon (Marah, GUIDING LIGHT) will appear on THE YOUNG & THE RETLESS for two episodes starting Thursday, May 7, as Felicity.

“She’s confident, definitely a strong female character who is supportive in an odd way,” McKeon cryptically previews of her Y&R role. “It’s been fun for me to come back to daytime to play this character.”

McKeon had blonde hair when she played Marah, but these days she’s sporting a darker mane. “It was fun being blonde when I was young but then there were roles I’d audition for that didn’t feel like me because they’d lean more towards being ditzy,” she candidly shares. “I definitely prefer more serious, dark [parts]. There’s a lightness and naiveté towards blondes. This [darker hair] feels more like me. It’s wonderful.”

Though the pace of shooting soaps has quickened since her days in Springfield, the Emmy-nominated actress says that her time on GL was invaluable when it came to doing this latest role. “I think because I’d been on [GL] I was able to get back into the flow,” she says. “Daytime is its own machine and, thankfully, I can fit into it.”

McKeon admits she’s open for reprising Felicity, but, currently, the actress is waiting to hear if the primetime pilot CODE BLACK, in which she has a role will be picked up for series by CBS. “It’s set in an LA County hospital.,” she says of the drama which stars Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden. “There was a documentary done on this and now there’s a [scripted series] based on the documentary.”
