As The Young and the Restless' 50th Anniversary approaches on March 26th, longtime cast members, and Daytime Emmy winners, Camryn Grimes (Mariah) and Bryton James (Devon), chat with Michael Fairman about their time on the iconic CBS daytime drama series.
Camryn and Bryton share a unique perspective as they both started on the show at a young age and literally, grew up on the soap opera. A six-year-old Camryn debuted as young Cassie in 1997, and fans of the series watched the character's shocking and dramatic death in 2005 that has become one of the most memorable moments in Y&R and soap opera history.
Bryton came to Y&R as a teenager in 2004, when Devon was introduced as part of the foster care storyline which featured him in story alongside Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla) and the late Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters). Now as an adult, Devon is involved in corporate intrigue storylines, and a burgeoning relationship with Abby Newman as they share a child together.
As for Grimes' latest Y&R character, Mariah Copeland, the actress has been part of a same-sex on-screen love story with the character of Tessa, better known to fans as "Teriah", and now the two are hoping to add a child to their family.
