DC's Top 5 Soap Opera Newcomers of 2012



No. 5: Robert Adamson, The Young and the Restless
 

From the moment we were reintroduced to sexy Lincoln Heights star Robert Adamson on Nick-at-Nite's premiere nighttime soap Hollywood Heights, we started wishing the new brass at The Young and the Restless (Who happened to be his HH bosses Jill Farren Phelps and Josh Griffith!) would cast him as lookalike Joshua Morrow's son Noah Newman. As CBS Daytime Chief Angelica McDaniel tweeted to @dcconfidential ahead of Adamson's casting news breaking, "sometimes wishes come true." Indeed they do!

No. 4: Tequan Richmond, General Hospital

The Young and the Restless hunk Robert Adamson wasn't the only soap newcomer we wished casting directors would take notice of in 2012. When word leaked General Hospital was in the market for a new TJ, Everybody Hates Chris cutie Tequan Richmond was the first thesp to pop into our minds!

The 19-year-old actor and rapper has crazy chemistry with equally-adorable Haley Pullos, who plays his gal pal Molly Lansing Davis. With TJ and Molly having survived Port Charles water supply being poisoned, and now interning at Manning Enterprises, we bet Richmond will have a chance to exhibit even more swagger in 2013!

Bring back Lindsay as Summer. And put her in short shorts.

Pls don't bring that other chick as Summer back! She was like nails on a chalkboard with her acting. This new actress I like her in the role and like the chemistry with Red (The Staff)...

Robert Adamson who plays Noah I just thought he was a little too old for the role. He can act seeing his work on Lincoln Heights on ABC Family.

Robert Adamson is fucking yummy. And he can really act. Fantastic recast. I agree with many here, RA should definitely be on top...of this list Wink

Overall, great list. Agree with it, except the order.

Can Trey please stay on GH? Critics and fans love him and the character. His story line and romantic pairing were the problem not EV. He just needs a better story is all.

Keep Trey and send Krissy back to school. A Trey/Starr/Michael triangle would have been nice.
