David Hasselhoff returning to "Young and the Restless"

David Hasselhoff returns to 'Young and the Restless'
by Lynette Rice
Look who’s coming home to Genoa City! EW.com has learned that David
Hasselhoff will briefly reprise his role as Dr. William “Snapper”
Foster, Jr. on The Young and the Restless. He’ll return to the show’s
Los Angeles set in May for an arc that will start airing in mid-June.
The Baywatch star got his start in TV by starring on the popular
sudser from 1975 to 1982.
“In 1976, Bill Bell, creator of America’s No. 1 soap opera, took a
chance on a young and very green actor,” Hasselhoff said in a
statement given exclusively to EW.com. “Playing Snapper in 850 shows
during the six years I appeared molded my craft, my attitude and my
work ethic. Being asked to come back to appear in several episodes
gives me a chance to say thanks, as I have an amazing amount of
respect and heartfelt emotion for Bill, his family and my time on
Young and the Restless. I just hope I can remember all those lines.”
It seems likely that Hasselhoff will address his return to Restless in
his upcoming reality show for A&E, but CBS could not confirm.
Hasselhoff won’t be the only Foster family member to stage a surprise
homecoming: Veteran TV actor Wings Hauser will also reprise his role
as Snapper’s brother Greg, and Julianna McCarthy will pick up where
she left off in 2008 as matriarch Liz Foster Brooks. She is the mother
of Jill Foster Abbott, who is currently played by the Emmy-winning
Jess Walton (who didn’t start playing the character until 1987 so
there will be no vintage shots of the Foster family). While in Genoa
City, Hasselhoff’s Snapper married Chris Brooks and had an affair with
Sally McGuire, who bore his son Chuckie. On the wedding day of
Snapper’s mother and Chris’s father, they presented the couple with
new granddaughter Jennifer Elizabeth Foster. Snapper supposedly left
Wisconsin in 1982 to accept a three-month fellowship in London to
teach; he ended up staying there.

That gives me hope that Jill's mystery of birth will be solved. Kinda
odd, if you think about it - usually only the father is in doubt.
Here Jill knows NOTHING and doesn't seem to be worried about it.
Weird!

I'm not a very big fan of Hasselhoff, but I'm still happy that they're
bringing the Foster family back to GC -- and with the original actors
playing the characters. This is great news! No doubt the issue of
who Jill's blood relations really are will come to a head at that
time. At least I hope so.

He was fired from America's got Talent but allowed to say he was

But with the exception of Julianna McCarthy, they're not the
originals. Hasselhoff is Snapper #2, and Hauser is Greg #3 (or maybe
4? I disremember. Jim Houghton, later on Knots, later a writer for YR,
was the original; Brian Kerwin was the second; was Wings the third, or
was there another one after Kerwin?).
Maybe you meant "with the actors who last played them"?

Hauser was the 3rd after Kerwin; then H. McGillin.
I never found Hauser to be likeable.
Hasselhoff was okay, but IMO, it was never as good with the recasts as
it was when Espy and Houghton were Snapper and Greg. JMO.

That's the answer I was looking for. They were the reason I tuned in
pre-Watergate.
Jaie
It IS real. Why would Y&R want someone with his known drinking
problem on the show? Talk about unreliable and a potential PR
nightmare. Then there's the problem of his being a lousy actor. If
he's coming back, that alone will be enough reason for me to dump the
show. He's a total joke.

He was Snapper Foster from 1973-1975, Jill's oldest older brother.

Me, too -- the Foster family and the Brooks family. Many characters
with trials and tribulations that the average person could identify
with. I was in the desired demographic then, and they had me hooked
with simple, believable stories about real people, not all this cloak

Playing old and restless ;)
@gmail.com zob
What I meant by "original" is that they are't bringing new actors in
who never played the parts before -- they're bringing back the three
actors who are most remembered in the roles as the Jill's brothers and
mother. It will be like having the old Foster family back. :-)
(I know that other actors originated the roles of Snapper and Greg,
but for the life of me I can't even remember what they look like! For
me, Hasslehoff IS Snapper and Hauser IS Greg).

It's a short term gig - they lose nothing by doing this, and gain a
fair amount of free PR. It's a no-brainer.

Not for me.
Hasselhoff eventually got pretty good in the role, but IMO, Hauser
never WAS Greg. Hauser was good at playing a bad guy, and that wasn't
Greg. IMO, he never fit the role.

Hi, record hunter! How are you?
I watched today. I could not get over how much worse EB's mumbling has
gotten. I'm not an EB fan, and I admit I don't cut him much slack,
but ... he looks and sounds like it's a HUGE effort for him to mutter
his lines at a barely audible, non-enunciated, monotone level! If I
were the director, I would have had to yell "Cut!" so as to ask Mr.
They-Don't-Respect-Me to at least speak with enough volume and
animation to let viewers know he isn't comatose. Holy cow ... you're
earning HOW MUCH money, Mr. Braeden? Is it asking THAT much that you
put a LITTLE effort into it? Wow.

A few years ago a lot of people who watched GL noticed that 'Roger' was not
speaking clearly. It turned out he had a disease which eventually killed him
way before his time. Also some of us noticed that 'Barbara" on ATWT was not
speaking clearly, maybe she had had recent dental surgery. It turned out she
had cancer of the mouth area and was successfully treated. His enunciation
could have a physical reason.

Possible, but I doubt it, since mumbling has ALWAYS been one of EB's
trademarks...it has just gotten a lot worse, IMO.
If it turns out that EB's worsening mumbling has a MEDICAL reason, I'd
apologize...but honestly, I think he's just arrogant and lazy and that
he thinks it makes his character more fascinating to speak barely
above a whisper so viewers have to pay closer attention. Instead of
making the character more interesting, it has the reverse effect, IMO.
I figure if the actor can't at least put out sufficient effort to
enunciate clearly enough to be understood and NO ONE corrects him,
what he's saying must not be that important to the story!
If I were a writer and the actor(s) didn't have enough respect to at
least speak the dialogue so that it could be heard and understood
without rewinding, I'd be asking the director to intervene. What's the
point of spending time writing dialogue when the actor doesn't can't
even make it comprehensible?

The DH and I went to an American high school in England (Air Force
brats, both of us) and to this day, I can understand just about any UK
accent but those from the far north. I can understand cockneys better
than some around Manchester and some Scots accents.

That may be true, but a non-impaired person shouldn't *have to* watch
with/use CC just in order to HEAR and understand what a character is
saying. For cryin' out loud, he's one of the highest paid soap opera
actors of all time ... is it asking too much that he AT LEAST speak
clearly enough for viewers to understand what he's saying without
having to resort to captions? That's just ridiculous!
Ashley and Nikki came close to the same, not because they don't speak
clearly, but because they both appear to think those breathy whispers
are engaging. In actuality, most people don't speak in whispers except
in intimate situations!
This is supposed to be entertainment, not *work*. Nobody should *have
to* turn on Closed Captioning, turn up their volume, or rewind and
replay just to be able to hear what a character is saying! Where is
the director, anyway? ... asleep at the switch, IMO!

Our youngest daughter got her degree at Leeds and had spent several years

I've never had a problem understanding Mr. Braeden's accent! It is
simply his monotone, lazy mumbling that makes him incomprehensible. He
doesn't look at whoever he's talking with/to (he either has his head
down or he's looking out the window!), he has gotten *so* lazy that he
barely even moves his lips anymore, and the volume is almost none
existent!

I've never really minded Braeden's mumbling (still get a kick out of
Gloria's imitation) as it worked for the character. I did notice this
week, even before you mentioned it, that his voice seemed
uncharacteristically soft. But to me it sounded weak, as in strained
or related to illness. I'm reserving judgment until I see how he
handles his next shouting opportunity, which should be any day now
considering how events are unfolding.

Yeah, but he shouldn't only be understandable when he's in vein-
popping mode.
I recall him saying in one of his "exclusive" interviews several years
ago that he was actually amused to learn that people were turning on
their Closed Captioning to understand him, and commenting that it was
proof that people felt his dialogue was important enough to pay closer
attention. Paraphrasing, but ... what an ego!

I mean the shouting opportunity will give me a sense of whether
there's an illness issue going on. If he's doing it on purpose, it's
totally distracting AND doesn't suit the character.

That's a fact. I have actually backed up and turned mine on to see what
he says. Mostly I don't care anymore, because, well, quite frankly, it
really doesn't matter. Victor may still have the pull he used to, but
the writers certainly don't seem to be showing it.

Doesn't your TV have its own CC system? That's what I use. I think
it's mandatory on sets built after 1992.

Yes... but it's dependent on the *signal* received from my cable
company. Therefore I can receive CC from a cable connection from the
wall outlet. However, the Motorola cable box/HD DVR will not handle CC,
which is what I watch the most. I think the box is capable, it just
isn't provided through Charter rental boxes.
I've read varying arguments that it has to do with digital vs analog,
and when it's all digital, CC will disappear, but I don't see how they
could do that. There are people who depend on it. Hopefully, it won't
be solved by requiring ANOTHER box to handle.

Oh, yeah - we got the DVDs. You might also like the British (and
original) version of "Life on Mars." Also, there's a series called
"Hustle" that is just priceless!
And it's not a "certain age," I don't think, a lot of it comes from

I love "New Tricks", and I try to catch "Life on Mars", but for some

eye out for it. Thanks!

I wondered about this, because it seems these days, executives think
young people only enjoy watching young love stories, aliens, and horror
stories. When I was young I enjoyed watching adult stories as much as
teen stuff. Especially on soaps. :) I didn't know if executives
listen too much to advertisers, or things really have changed that
much. In any case, I doubt "New Tricks" would ever have been made in
the U.S..

Interesting. My analog tv, connected to cable, still has CC. I don't use
it a lot, but sometimes, it is very handy to have.
