Matt Cohen will make his debut as Detective Burrow on The Young and the Restless on October 16, six years after his last soap appearance as General Hospital‘s Griffin Munro.

Cohen says he’s been looking for an opportunity like this for a while. “I read the audition, and I had been wanting to play a very similar role to this for a long time,” Cohen explains. “It’s a really fun detective. He’s good, he’s bad, he’s everything in between. He’s got a lot to deliver for the audience. Sharon (Newman, Sharon Case) and Nick (Newman, Joshua Morrow) have a big situation going on and he’s involved. He’s investigating and he’s going to get to the bottom of it in one way, shape, or form, and the result is going to be astounding.”

In addition to the excitement of joining Y&R, the new gig allows Cohen to reconnect with a host of familiar faces. “I started my career in Hollywood with an old friend producing a movie, and that old friend happened to be Michael Graziadei (Daniel Romalotti), who I love thoroughly,” he shares. “When this project came up, I said, ‘Man, I know Graz is back on the show, and Michelle Stafford‘s (Phyllis Summers) my dear friend from General Hospital (where she played Nina Reeves), and Hayley Erin (Claire Newman; ex-Kiki Jerome, GH) is there, too.’ I introduced her to her husband Adam Fergus, who is one of my best friends in the world, and they have a beautiful family together. My dear friend Roger (Howarth, ex-Franco, GH) is also here, as is Tamara Braun (Sienna Bacall). So, we are really having fun. It’s a bunch of old friends getting to play around on the stage again, and it’s really been rewarding.” (more…)
