ABC Soaps In Depth is reporting General Hospital alum Kin Shriner will  briefly step in for Ted Shackelford at The Young and the Restless. Shriner is slated to appear in three episodes. According to a statement released by Y&R:

 Kin Shriner is temporarily stepping in on Y&R as Jeff Bardwell because Ted Shackelford is not available. Kin's episodes will begin airing in late April.

Kin Shriner is a busy man these days. In addition to appearing on Martha Byrne's Gotham he also did two new interviews, one with We Love Soaps' Roger Newcomb and one with TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco, about his time on the web series brimming with soap stars.
