Three years ago, Amanda Sinclair’s departure left fans fearing her exit from the power games of The Young and the Restless was permanent. In 2022, Mishael Morgan stepped down from her contract role, handing over the icy, sharp-witted attorney to the writers.

Her reasons were clear—she wanted to step out of the Y&R greenhouse, make movies, chase dreams, and enjoy the freedom of working from Toronto. Logical as her decision was, it broke many hearts.

But to everyone’s surprise, on May 16, 2025, she returned—and this wasn’t a token guest appearance. Amanda came back wielding serious power, representing a mysterious and highly influential client right at the heart of a brand-new legal and emotional battle.

Mishael herself admitted in an interview, “After finishing a Hallmark movie, I knew I wanted to be back in L.A., back in this world of Y&R that I never stopped loving.”

Social media erupted instantly. Fans spammed timelines with, “Finally, the storyline is back on track!” One even wrote, “Every scene with Amanda is now worth watching twice!” Behind the scenes, excitement buzzed—writers had already tailored a major plot arc for her, placing her in direct conflict with major characters.
