Tetona Jackson joins The Young and the Restless as Roxanne Barrington
The character was previously played by Tatyana Ali. Fareed Ward is also set to join the cast as Dr Andrew Bishop.
The Young and the Restless is bringing back Roxanne Barrington with Tetona Jackson in the role, according to TV Insider. The casting returns Devon Winters’ former girlfriend to the CBS daytime drama.
Tatyana Ali played Roxanne across 53 episodes from 2007 to 2013, and the character’s last known whereabouts were outside town. Devon is portrayed by Bryton James. Jackson’s credits include recurring appearances on Chicago Med and Good Trouble, along with series-regular parts on Poppa’s House and Boomerang.
Fareed Ward is set to play Dr Andrew Bishop, whose colleagues include Nate Hastings and Stephanie Simmons. His television credits include All My Children, Will & Grace, FBI and S.W.A.T.
These are the first casting additions under Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor, the new co-head writers whose appointments were announced in July. Episodes written by the pair begin airing November 11th. CBS carries the soap on weekdays, and Paramount+ offers it for streaming.
