William Russ Joins Y&R
JPI
Besides starring on Boy Meets World for years, William has also appeared on Boston Legal and CSI.
There's a new billionaire in Genoa City! Former Boy Meets World dad William Russ is set to join the cast of The Young on the Restless on December 2nd as a very, very rich character named Tucker. And that's about all we know so far ... which means the possibilities are endless!
The part of Tucker was a source of much speculation during the recent Eric Braeden contract negotiations [LINK], as the casting call signaled to some that the show was planning to recast Victor Newman (or at least find a Victor Newman type). But now that Eric is sticking with the show, we can't wait to see what might happen when the two moguls meet!
Besides Boy Meets World, you might recognize William from guest-star stints on a myriad of TV shows, including Boston Legal, Numb3rs, The Ex List -- and he also costarred as the father in the critically-acclaimed movie American History X. He even has a soap pedigree, having appeared on Another World in the late '70s.
Keep checking SOAPnet.com for more info about William's character in the coming weeks!
What do you think brings Tucker (and his money) to Genoa City?

Phylis&nick need a baby now. I think victor & Adam are putting. On a show their in on this tucker thing
Like William russ has to be. Tucker he seems to be more like a son that Catherine would have. Please bring russ back makes character more interesting!
i agree i am glad that victor is not leaving wold not be a show with out him
Ok, first of all, I am tired of Sharon running to men to make herself complete and feel like a woman. Her mom is always the one that can put her into perspective! Can she be without a man for 6 months?!?!?!? She's going to be as bad as Brooke on B&B; sleeping with everyone but her son!
Second, why are the writers portraying Adam to be a victim and pour his evil heart and soul to Sharon knowing he took her baby from her. When are we going to find that out???
Third, why does Jill ALWAYS have to sleep with the first man she meets?? Talk about desperate! But, I guess, it's been awhile for her! LOL!!! She needs to blow off some dust!
I agree with ragarcia633. Sharon has turned into the town's hoe. What's with sleeping around with the brothers of her ex-husbands.
I am really glad that Victor is not leaving!!!!! I am looking forward to seeing what Tucker brings to the show !Keep up the GREAT work Y&R.
There can't be another Victor. If it can, I can't wait to see it!!!!!
I aggree, but it is only a show, so dont take it too seriously, it is still better then the other soaps.
Hope Victor comes back soon, and gets together with Sharon, seems he is the only one she had'nt bedded yet.
I agree with giniwese. It was so boring watching Nick and sharon. But Phylis has changed for the better and they are great together. Granted, she will do anything and run over anyone who threatens her marriage. Sharon has turned into the town hoe. First Jacks brother, now Nicks brother. She truly is trashy.
VICTOR IS SUCH A MAN WITH NO MAROWS HE DO NOT CARE WHO HURT ,AND NO MATTER WHAT HE DO TO ANY BODY HE MEAN THAT HE MUST HAVE THE LAST LAUGH,IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BODY ELSE TO PLAY VICTOR.
