The Young and the Restless fans wonder if Christian LeBlanc is exiting the hit soap opera as legal eagle Michael Baldwin.

It’s hard to imagine Y&R without Michael and Christian. The talented actor celebrated 30-years of playing the character last year, with an entire episode devoted to Michael’s time in Genoa City.

In the tribute episode, Michael turned to his wife Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman), brother Kevin (Greg Rikaart), mother Gloria (Judith Chapman), and sister-in-law Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) for help with deciding if he should retire as DA.
