The Young and the Restless: Complete list of comings and goings in June 2025

June on The Young and the Restless felt busy from the very first episode of the month until the last. Viewers watched a steady parade of familiar faces file through Nikki Newman’s birthday bash, then hop over to a fancy soiree in France, all while new players found their marks at Chancellor-Winters and Crimson Lights.

Longtime characters kept stories moving, but behind them stood an ever-shifting guest roster that made every week feel fresh. The casting shuffle spread across four separate release weeks, each one packed with its own headline.

Early June opened with a star-studded party sequence. Mid-June delivered a secretive newcomer whose arrival raised eyebrows. Late June finished with more reunions abroad. Taken together, the month offered one of the richest guest lists the show has fielded this year.
