Eddie Winslow Replacing Shemar Moore On Soap Opera?
So much for Shemar Moore ever reprising his role of Malcolm Winters on “The Young and the Restless.” Beginning next month, the character will be played by former “Family Matters” star Darius McCrary, according to EW.com.
McCrary signed a multi-year deal to assume the role beginning with a taping on Nov. 18, the Web site reported. His debut will air on Dec. 29.
“We are thrilled to have the character of Malcolm back on Y&R,” according to a statement from Maria Bell, the drama’s co-executive producer/head writer. “Malcolm, Neil Winters’ brother, has always been a catalyst to exciting stories. He’s coming back to town to see his brother and to reunite with his biological daughter, Lily Winters, as she fights for her life. Malcolm is a photographer…someone who lives on the edge and who always pushes the envelope.”
Moore left the soap in 2005 to co-star in CBS’ “Criminal Minds.” According to EW, “it seems obvious that Moore’s busy schedule (’Minds’ is about to air its 100th episode) — combined with the fact that Bell wanted the Malcolm character back full-time – made it impossible for Moore to return (one insider even said that Moore has been approached before about coming back to the show but it was clear that it wouldn’t work out because of his commitment to ‘Minds’).”
McCrary will find a familiar face on the Y&R set; the Emmy-winning Bryton James (Devon) used to co-star as Richie Crawford on Family Matters, as well.

Ok darius mccrary isn’t all that bad to look at and no he isn’t shemar moore but his acting is aight besides shemar moore has been off the show for almost five years he seems to be thriving so don’t hate on the next black man
CrystalCry
lol Damn, u see how expendable we are….Couldn’t they have wrote Darius n as a half brother or step brother cuz damn u wanna talk about night n day.lmao….I agree they should have called up Taimak ass, cuz he’s lookin good!!

You can’t just unplug one black dude and plug another black dude right back in the same socket like they’re all the same.
No disrespect to Eddie, but Shemar is a P-R-E-T-T-Y nigga. His shoes aren’t going to be THAT easy to fill once he leaves, regardless of the acting talent of his replacement. i hate to say it, but the folks at Y&R had better rethink this one. Somebody call Taimak or something! At least he’s got looks AND fans who’d tune in to see him, and no disrespect again, but a brotha could use the work.

REPLACE HIM, I’ll take Edie or Shemar any day! I don’t watch the show now, but put Edie on there. I’ll watch the show then, humph.

I must say they couldve done better…im sure Erkel needed a job also..he cleaned up pretty well when he played Stefan…

I’m sure Eddie Winslow needed a job but how did he get this one?? lol Good thing I don’t watch the show cause that character change would be upsetting.. I guess Superhead is the only one excited!! lol

LMFAO at the title of this article…on the other hand, maybe eddie winslow is a helluva actor. It seems comical right now but, I suppose they could step up his looks, i.e. throw some designer glasses on, cut his hair, and, put on $5000 tailored suits, maybe? who knows. Keep us informed

I don’t have to watch the Y&R but I’ve seen both actors all I can way is “AW HELL TO THE NO”
