What’s more, Karla herself said that she is very excited to be on the set of The Young and the Restless and that she had personally contacted Mishael to discuss her role.
“I was able to connect with Mishael, who is such a goddess,” she praises. “We had always been friendly whenever we saw each other around CBS, but we never had a real heart-to-heart sit-down. The only hesitation that I had about doing this is that I was stepping into such big shoes because Mishael is so beloved and such a wonderful human and actor. It was great that I could talk with her and say thank you for leaving me such a wonderful path to follow. I also told her, ‘I’ll be happy when you’re healed and able to return.’”
Look at for Karla as the new Amanda Sinclair beginning April 26th. The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on the CBS network. Check your local listings for times.
