Trevor St. John’s ‘Y&R’ Character Revealed: He’s Katherine Chancellor’s Son!
Spoiler Alert
Trevor St. John made his The Young and the Restless debut last week but it wasn’t until Monday, October 3, that his character’s identity was revealed and it’s a doozy!
The One Life to Live veteran is playing Tucker McCall, the son of the late Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper). Previously, Tucker was on the canvas from 2010 to 2013 and was played by Stephen Nichols (Steve, Days of our Lives).
“The producers gave me an overview, but I’ve been mostly learning on the job,” Trevor St. John tells TV Insider as to how he got caught up on his character’s backstory. “His connections are complex.”
That’s an understatement! Tucker wasn’t in Genoa City all that long in the grand scheme of things (Y&R turns 50 next year!) but he played out lots of story during his relatively short tenure. The mogul romanced Harmony Hamilton (Debi Morgan), Diane Jenkins (then, Maura West; now, Susan Walters), Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton)!
St. John toiled for years in daytime as OLTL’s Todd Manning/Victor Lord, Jr. but he says that he hadn’t previously crossed paths with any of his new co-stars and alas, never got to meet the legendary Cooper, who played his on-screen mom. “I have never met a soul on Y&R before now,” he says. “But I’m lucky that everyone I’ve met thus far has been terrific.”
Initially, Tucker sought revenge on Katherine for giving him up as a baby. As he had his own company, Tucker McCall Unlimited, Tucker was able to enter the business arena and do battle with not only his mother but other power players including Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Tucker played out machinations in the bedroom and the boardroom. He married both Ashley and Sharon but his union with the latter was ruled invalid as Sharon was still legally married to someone else.
Word had leaked out online that St. John was playing Tucker, despite Y&R’s efforts to keep the reveal under wraps. All this is news to Tucker’s newest portrayer, however. “I would describe my social media presence as out to lunch!” St. John shares. “I have to remind myself to check in. Now, you’ve reminded me. Thanks!”

This Tucker McCall is younger than Steven Nichols who played him before but his acting is very good.And please put some decent clothes on Phyllis she looks like she's going to meet Dracula. Let Abbey and Chance stay together for a change.And Noah's ex is up to something. Send Dianne back to the cave she crawled out from.Let Elena not have a fling with Devon.Maybe a fling with Imani would be better.And I'm glad Daniel Romalotti Jr is coming back .Should be interesting.

Trevor is a great actor from one Life to Live playing Todd Manning. I miss Stephen but I’ll take Trevor!

Complain, complain, complain, that’s all people do these days, can’t ever make anyone happy. I don’t like this, I don’t like that. I don’t like this person I only like myself. I am the greatest. Blah blah blah

It is just not believable when you try to pass off an actor half the age of the previous on. AND, what the hell happened to his eye patch? Some miracle?? Please explain.

Sorry I am not liking choice of this actor playing Tucker MCCall. Agreed that the choice of wardrobe is awful not right for a self made man who is business savvy.

Tucker is supposed to be the big hard ass but this guy is so effiinate he's hardly believable. If he drops his limp wrist one more time I will puke. Also he's too young to be Devon's father.

Did you hear [last week] Trevor St. John (Tucker) talking to Ashley and he called her Abby? Big mistake. Wondering how many people caught this boo-boo?

I think they should bring back Stephen Nicole! I don't like this new guy, and I REALLY don't like the new Summer! Their casting person and writers are starting to suck!

New Summer doesn’t have the spunk that Hunter King had. She was a lot better at being feisty, character change for sure.
