‘Hevon’ Will Have to Wait — Mishael Morgan Is Leaving ‘Young and the Restless’
Fan favorite Mishael Morgan, who plays Hilary on The Young and the Restless, has announced on social media the rumors about her exiting the top-rated soap are true.
The Emmy-nominated actress joined Y&R in 2013 as a woman bent on getting revenge against Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John), the man she erroneously blamed for her mother’s untimely passing.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my departure from (Y&R),” Morgan posted on her Instagram account Monday. “There were many factors that lead to this decision, but ultimately, five years just felt right for me. I feel blessed to have worked with some of the most talented, hardworking and fun-loving people in television. Thank you to the cast, the crew and everyone at Sony and CBS who made the past five years truly unforgettable.”
The actress goes on to praise her “partner in crime” Bryton James (Devon) “who always brought out the best in both me and Hil. Last but definitely not least, I want to thank all of my amazing fans who have supported me on this journey. Your gifts, love and kindness over the years (and days) have warmed my hart and fuelled [sic] my soul more than you could ever know. Although my adventure as Hilary Curtis is coming to an end, my work on screen is far from over. This may be a goodbye from Hilary, but I’ll just say ‘see you soon’.”

No word yet if Y&R will recast the role. Currently, ex-spouses Hilary and Devon (or “Hevon” as their fans affectionately dubbed the duo) have agreed to co-parent the child Hilary is pregnant with (Devon’s the dad), but the two recently started cohabiting again and have taken in troubled teen Shauna (Camryn Hamm) to live with them.

I’ve watched since the show started (as a tot with my mom), as a young mother (I got my kids started too) - but this summer we are almost done with it. My girls won’t watch anymore, and since Jack is not an Abbott, Sharon & Nick are reunited, they gave Victor-an 80 year old man) Christian, they dropped Adam, they dropped Misheal, and Billy and Summer sleeping together...it is time to call an end to an era for my family and Young and Restless!

We can't be sure jack is not an Abbott since his DNA wasn't tested directly against johns. Jack's was compared to billy's, and there is no definitive proof that Billy is johns son.
They wrote Adam off because the actor went to "this is us", and personally I wouldn't have wanted to see anybody else playing Adam even though several others had in the past.
Give it enough time and Nick and Sharon will break up again. Probably when he finds out she lied about J T, whether it turns out he is alive or not.
Summer and Billy are not sleeping together.
Victor getting Christian is dumb, but because Nick is his legal rather, not because Victor is old. Men can have biological children at that age, he can certainly afford young nannies. Nikki is quite a bit younger and she appears to be on victors side now.

Yeah Victor shouldn't have the baby he's to old and corrupt i dont blame nick they need to take summer and send her back where she came from keep Hilary or a replacement and lets see what happens with the child get rid of jt once and for all Victor needs to act like a human being or get of the show he has everything and he's still miserable and crooked and billy should be ashamed he had everything as well just once I'd like to see everyone mind their own business and wish someone else well

C
Agree totally! Ruining the show.
-
G
You are absolutely right the writing is just ridiculous on both shows The Young and the Restless and the Bold and the Beautiful they really need to come up with some better storylines then they've been coming up with
-
G
Billy and some aren't sleeping together
-
O
Billy & summer are not sleeping together where did that come from
-
P
No I remember years ago they had one of those secret and quick storylines about Jack possibly not being Johns..,his mom and Catherine mentioned it. Remember his Asian son that came back and was being reunited around that time they hinted on it numerous times. Then later when his mom popped into town after Johns death ( I forgot why)
-
B
Yes, they are not. But I could tell that Summer was going to create havoc in Billy's life.

Monique I agree with you 100% Hilary death and Hope and Liam I can't take this bad writing any longer. There is no more bold and beautiful because Steffy was the last and the young and Restless Hilary beauty out going personality and her sexy ways kept the Young and the restless in the running now what do we have. The brutal and boring and the Restless boring. What is up with these writers they took out the interesting parts, actors and gave us boring and not interesting at all! Who cares about Hope and Liam the storyline took a dive and then Bill and Steffy come on!!

They have repeated the storyline so much it's predictable. Everyone has resurrected except Victoria Rowell ( Drucilla). I don’t even have to watch but once a month and be caught up. The storyline is stupid and makes no sense.

I agree about the writers, especially in The Bold and The Beautiful. The whole storyline with Steffy and Bill sleeping together and then Hope coming back to town and Liam rushing to sleep with her and was about to marry her then deciding to go back to Steffy after finding out that Bill set things up to look like Steffy slept with him again, never minding that Steffy was 9 months pregnant at the time and the continuous back and forth with Liam and Hope now pregnant and Steffy catching them kissing and her running to Bill and blah, blah!!! and the in between, it's all too much, these writers suck and it's too much drama! I've been watching Y&R every since I was a little girl with my mom but I've been only watching B&B for about 3 or 4 years consistently every since they cancelled ABC soaps and the writing wasn't all that great to me but lately it has turned from just okay to blown out ridiculous!

I have watched this show since it started.... But the pushing of the gay agenda is a turn off as to most my age. I love my gay friends but do not condone the behavior and they know this as I am a Christian. I am therefore not interested in watching their make out sessions. It's offensive to me. What people do behind closed doors is their business, their perogative. But don't push it on me to be "politically correct"...when the Bible calls it "incorrect". LEVITICUS 20:13.

This is terrible if they had to take Hillary from Devon, they could have let the baby live, better still let this be a nightmare and Hillary wakes up banged up, but alive n well and still very pregnant
-
P
Please do not let Devon and Hilary stop here. Please Re-cast Hilary. Please...
-
B
Yes recast her
-
O
If they dont I don't want to watch anymore. They should do what ever it takes to keep Misheal on the show
-
P
No one can replae Misheal this is probably why they allowed her to dye off the show. The lady can act1 SOPHITICATION, BEAUTY AND SMARTS PUTS HER RIGHT UP THER WITH sTEFFY ON THE bold AND bEAUTIFUL. tHEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER AT ALL COST NOW WHAT DO THE VIEWERS HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.tHEY ALSO SHOULD HAVE PUT sTEFFY AND Liam TOGETHER WITHOUT ALL THE hOPE DRAMA OF GETTING PREGNANT. sHE IS KNOW COMPETITION FOR sTEFFY NONE ON THE SHOW IS AND NEVER HAS BEEN. aT LEAST THE LAST hOPE DID LOOK DECENT AND NOT LIKE A PALE FACE WITCH.
