Jordi Vilasuso Speaks Out About The Young And The Restless Exit

After news broke that Jordi Vilasuso would be leaving "The Young and the Restless," the actor took to Twitter to talk to his fans and let them know they could learn more by listening to the latest episode of his podcast he just released. "Thank you @YandR_CBS 4 always welcoming me & giving me the opportunity 2 tell stories that impacted millions," Vilasuso wrote. "As this door closes, others will and have opened. If you're interested in hearing a little more about my story."

On his podcast, "Making it Work," which he hosts with his wife Kaitlin, Vilasuso explained that it wasn't his choice to go and that he even signed a new contract late in 2021. However, he has already finished taping, as his last week working on the soap was earlier in March. "It's been a process," Vilasuso said. "I had re-signed back in October for another three years, but in these contracts, there are these six-month intervals where the show can decide not to re-sign you for the next six months." 

Vilasuso went on to wonder if he should have seen this coming as his character had not been doing much in the last few months and was not involved with any major storylines.
