- Posted on May 7, 2024
Daytime veteran – Christopher Cousins recently joined the cast of CBS giant The Young and The Restless as Dr. Alan Laurent. An old time friend of Ashley’s from Paris. He has arrived in GC on Traci’s call, due to Ashley’s worsening mental health crisis.
Only a couple episodes in, and Christopher has already managed to win fan hearts with his character- Alan. Now, he spills the tea on how exactly he landed the role on The Young and The Restless. “I’ve got a lot of personal stuff to tend to in Los Angeles,” he told Soap Opera Digest in a recent chat.
Furthermore, he shared that his children are currently in the process of moving out of the house. His daughter is 21, and son is 17. “Once they’re gone we’ll sell the house and I’ll find a place in the mountains,” he divulged. Christopher shared that he already told his agents that he can’t leave town for work this summer. And miraculously this Y&R job fell in his lap.
The Young and The Restless newbie might be new to the soap, but not to the genre. Many fans remember him all too well as ex-Dr. Kirk on General Hospital, and ex-Cain on One Life To live, among many other popular gigs.
Interestingly, Christopher divulged that his appearance and accent seems so European / British to people that he has lost two acting jobs that required him to look American. That’s why he was surprised when The Young and The Restless did not require him to use a European accent.
Maybe as the story progresses we’ll see some sparks flying between them! What do you say? Would you like to see a romance track between Alan and Ashley? Tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more The Young and The Restless spoilers.
