Crew Morrow, the middle son of Young and Restless star Joshua Morrow (Nicholas) and his wife, Tobe, is stepping onto the screen for The Bold and the Beautiful in a major recast. He will be portraying Will Spencer, the son of Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill (Don Diamont). Heather Tom notably played Joshua’s on-screen sister, Victoria, in Y&R.
Morrow, who recently turned 19, has made previous acting appearances in Continental Split and Healing Towers. However, this marks his first TV role, with his debut set for August 1. He began filming on June 14.
A New Generation of Daytime Stars
Crew joins a notable group of daytime stars’ offspring who have also graced soap operas. Examples include Ed Bryce’s son Scott Bryce, who starred as Craig on As the World Turns, and Liza Huber, daughter of Susan Lucci (All My Children), who featured as Gwen on PASSIONS. Interestingly, the character Will, which Crew is set to play, was previously portrayed by Heather Tom’s real-life son Zane Achor from April 2013 to June 2018. Finnegan George then took over the role in 2018 until being last seen in 2020.
A Family Affair at B&B
This casting is an example of familial connections within the soap opera world. Not only does Crew follow in his father’s footsteps into daytime TV, but he also steps into a role that had familial ties before. These connections deepen, considering that Heather Tom’s off-screen life involves spending considerable time with her son Zane.
