I tape Y&R and follow some of the message boards for it, so I was pleasantly surprised when I read that Steve Nichols has been hired to replace the actor hired to portray Tucker McCall, a shrewd billionnaire businessman, who comes to Genoa City to wheel and deal with the likes of Katherine Chancellor, Jill Abbott, et al. Anyway, just thought it will be nice to see Steve again, and without the "patch." He has already begun taping and will first air on Y&R on January 27, 2010.
