GH alum Roger Howarth takes his talents to Y&R—what it means for Franco/Austin fans.
Soap Twitter is on FIRE because our beloved Roger Howarth (Franco Baldwin, Austin Gatlin Holt) is officially crossing over to The Young and the Restless. And GH fans? We’re half thrilled, half devastated.
One fan wrote: “I’m crying in Quartermaine.” Another tweeted: “GH lost one of its BEST actors, and Y&R wins big.” The split is real. Franco stans are reliving his iconic art-obsession era, while Austin fans feel robbed of a payoff.
Let’s clear it up: Roger’s move is about Y&R—it’s NOT a secret GH return. But the emotions? RAW. “GH wasted Roger,” fans argue. “He deserved a storyline that SLAYED.”
Behind the scenes tea: Roger is beloved by both casts. His sudden shift is rocking both fandoms. Think about it—Franco’s death still stings. Austin’s exit felt rushed. Now Roger’s leaving leaves GH with a massive hole.
Predictions? Don’t expect a GH comeback soon. But DO expect Y&R to milk his talent for maximum drama. And yes, crossover dreamers, we see you—but ABC/Disney isn’t signing off on that fantasy.
