John Driscoll's first airdate as Phillip Chancellor IV on The Young and the Restless has been confirmed to be July 16!

Original Article June 3:

The Young and the Restless has confirmed that actor John Driscoll, formerly of Guiding Light, has joined the cast and will be arriving before long in Genoa City.

Although the popular thinking is that John will be portraying Nina's (Tricia Cast) son, Phillip Chancellor IV, the show has yet to confirm a character name for the actor.

Okay this guy looks to be about Noah's age now? Wouldn't IV be older than Nicholas? Changing the ages of all these characters and bringing them back younger/older after twenty years is messing with my head and my ideas of what transpired, and how it transpired, in the soapland past.

LKGF, Okay on GL he played a 20 something, no away can you think this guy is Noah's age, He was a school teacher and an author on GL. This mean's he's atleast 25 or 30. I totally think its jsut the picture.

Phillip IV born in 1988 - John Driscoll born 1981.

He's a good looking guy, maybe he and Raffe should have a secret affair going on. Will be interesting to see what this character does.

TPTB are just being silly, to be so secretive. Driscoll said POINT BLANK in a podcast last month, "I will be playing Phillip Chancellor IV." Doesn't that sort of confirm it??

John Driscoll(Henry "Coop" Bradshaw:

Welcome to Y&R. I loved you as Coop and cried when you were "killed off". GL made a HUGE mistake to have let you go. Their loss is OUR GAIN! You are a very talented actor and such a gorgeous man. A HUNK of eye candy!

I am so excited with your coming to the show and am anxiously waiting to see you in action. Cannot wait to see you AGAIN!

Welcome, John!
Love you and your acting.
Carol
