Shemar Moore Returns to CBS’ The Young and the Restless
Shemar Moore’s Malcolm Winters is coming home to Genoa City this fall. The Criminal Minds star will return to his daytime television roots when he reprises his fan favorite role on CBS’ The Young and the Restless.
Unfortunately for the hardcore fans… Malcolm’s homecoming will be a short one. Moore will appear in just two episodes, which will air on Wednesday, September 10 and Thursday, September 11.
Shemar Moore: “I am excited about returning to The Young and the Restless as a special guest. This is where I got my start, and I am looking forward to reuniting with my soap opera family.”
Moore originated the role in 1994 and played him until 2002. He then returned for a brief stint in 2004-2005 before joining Criminal Minds.
