Ready or Not, Here He Comes: Roger Howarth’s New Role on The Young & the Restless as Mitch Bacall – The Ultimate Bad Boy!

Ahead of Roger Howarth’s Young & Restless debut, we did a deep dive into his character, the enigmatic Mitch Bacall. Here’s everything we dug up… and what we found out on his first day on air!

How Is Mitch Tied to the Canvas?

The Daytime Emmy winner’s casting was shrouded in such mystery that at first even the name of his on-screen alter ego wasn’t revealed. Now, of course, we know not only that he’s Mitch but that he’s the husband of fellow 

What Is Mitch Hiding?

According to Sienna, Mitch connected with Nick and Sharon Newman’s son Noah in London and offered to invest if the young entrepreneur decided to open a club on the West Coast. But something’s seriously fishy. She doesn’t seem to have seen Mitch since the night that Noah was run off the road. Could her better half have brought about Noah’s turn for the worse?

Spoiler alert: Yes. Hell, yes, even!

What Does Mitch’s Future Hold?

If Mitch had anything to do with Noah’s accident, Genoa City could have a new Big Bad on its hands. Or so we thought. Turned out that it had on its hands an old Big Bad. When Sharon came face to face with him, she was shocked: “Matt Clark?” she gasped.

Yep, it appeared that Mitch was the same creep who’d tormented her since her and Nick’s high-school days. We’d assumed that Young & Restless wouldn’t recruit a soap-hopper as beloved and versatile as Howarth just to paint him into a corner. But yeah… it did. He’s not just playing a scumbag, he’s playing the scummiest of scumbags.

In fact, Howarth admitted to Soap Opera Digest that, yeah, there’s no redemption arc at play here. “Matt gets up to no good very, very quickly.”

So — heavy sigh —
