Fun Fact: Wilson Bethel (Ryder) Auditioned for the Role of Chance

In an exclusive interview with Daytime Confidential’s Jamey Giddens, Wilson Bethel (Ryder), reveals  that in fact, he’d auditioned for the role of Chance:

Daytime Confidential: I have to admit, when I usually hear about a new Fisher-Baldwin coming to The Young and the Restless, I am less than enthused, but I have loved Ryder from day one! How did the role come about?

Wilson Bethel: I came in for the role of Chance, but I wasn’t right for the part. I had a prior relationship with Camille, who does the casting for Y&R, and I guess through some random course of events I ended up playing Ryder.

Hmmm, I think Camille made yet another poor casting decision (if she’s the one who’s been doing all of the new hiring as of late) .  I think Wilson would have made a better Chance.  And maybe that’s because I think any actor would make a better Chance, and any actress (at this point)  would make a better Mac.  Send these two characters off to wherever it is that Nikki’s whisking Victor off to.  And then have Chance and Mac come back with personalities.

See Maria, I wrote a quick story for you.  Take it, use it, make it work.  And even though we’re in a recession ya’ll!  Maria, I won’t make you pay.
