Breaking News! Vincent Irizarry Leaving The Young and the Restless!

Tuesday, July 01 2008


Vincent Irizarry as David Chow. (Soaps.com)
Soaps.com has learned that Vincent Irizarry (David Chow) has confirmed on his MySpace Page that he will be leaving Y&R. Since it recently came to light that the trouble-plagued David Chow is the person responsible for the murder of Ji Min Kim, many fans have speculated that Vincent's time with the show might be coming to a close. There was no timeline provided for his exit, but sources say that David's behavior will continue to spiral out-of-control as his storyline wraps up.

Emmy-nominated Vincent, a native of Queen's, NY, joined The Young and the Restless in November of 2006, with his first scenes airing in January of 2007. His character had been involved in a romantic relationship with Carmen Mesta (Marisa Ramirez), who was soon murdered. What was originally intended as a 13-week run, has lasted until the present-time, as David became campaign manager for Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) in her bid to become Senator. David ended up falling in love with Nikki, and she with him, but David's addiction to gambling, and the criminal act he has committed in order to fund it, will seemingly be his undoing!

Soaps.com would like to wish Vincent best of luck in his future endeavors. With any luck at all, the soap veteran will turn up on another of our favorite daytime dramas very soon!

Irizarry joined the show in January 2007, not November 2006.

Wow dmarex, that's all you have to say?!! ROFL!!!

What a great article, Candace. Kudos for being first to spill it on the net aside from him. Very excited to see how he goes, though I've liked his stay on the show and will miss him!

I'm always sad to see a great actor leave the show. Actually, Vincent did join the Y&R in November of 2006, but his first scenes didn't air until January of 2007. I have clarified this in the article for those interested.

Oh of course I've got more to say, I just wanted to correct the error... thanks Candace for clarifying...

I'm glad David is leaving. Although Irizarry's performance was great, the character never clicked and I was waiting for months to get rid of David. And now the day has finally come.

Please send LuJack back to the Guilding Light so that he can help them with some new story lines!

Best of luck to you Vincent but cant say I'm sorry David is leaving the show. Of course that's kudos to your acting ability because you made us totally hate David.
