UPDATE: Kanan Will Be Back!

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Deacon has reached the end of his ride in Genoa City. His portrayer, Sean Kanan, announced on his Twitter page that he’s been let go from the soap. “Well, it’s just two weeks before Xmas and PTB have just let me know that I will be gone from GC in five more shows. Merry Xmas,” he tweeted. “Thank you all for your kindness and support. Not sure what the future has in store for me but as long as I have [my fiancée] Michele and my family I’m ok.”

UPDATE: On Wednesday afternoon, Kanan tweeted that Y&R headwriter/executive producer Maria Arena Bell informed him that “she plans on bringing Deacon back in the Spring. Thanks 2 all of your 4 everything.”
