The Young and the Restless
All the Reasons Tucker McCall Should Have Been Aristotle Dumas on Y&R
Y&R fans are demanding Tucker McCall’s return. Aristotle Dumas should have been Tucker, not Cane Ashby. Phyllis Summers deserves better!
TUCKER MCCALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARISTOTLE DUMAS ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
TL;DR: Phyllis Summers needs someone and something productive to do on Young and the Restless. No one called for Cane Ashby to return, but fans have been demanding Tucker McCall back. Aristotle Dumas should have been Tucker, and we stand by that!
Tucker…We Miss You!
The top 2 reasons… Phyllis Summers needs someone and something productive to do. Young and the Restless fans have not bought in yet that who and everything to do with him is Cane Ashby. Phyllis isn’t even dealing with Cane Ashby; she’s dealing with Aristotle Dumas, at least in her mind.
No one called for Cane Ashby to return in and out of Genoa City onย Young and the Restless, but they did call for Tucker, played by Trevor St. John, to return, no matter what the circumstances.
Again, Phyllis just wants to do Aristotle, and Aristotle should have been revealed as fan-favorite Tucker onย Young and the Restless.
Y&R’s Phyllis Without Purpose, With Only Aristotle To Do
Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) still has not found a day-to-day purpose since she sold the Grand Phoenix to Chancellor Winters via Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Now, the Grand Phoenix stands as empty and as hopeless as all the reasons for Phyllis Summers to get up in the morning, but she still does.
Whoa!… Squirrel!!… Aristotle Dumas on Young and the Restless and Phyllis since the reveal has purpose. Her purpose… It’s duel… (2) get freaking laid and (2) get a freaking job. To Miss Phyllis, Aristotle Dumas is the 2 for 1 she CANNOT resist.

Tucker Should Have Been Aristotle, Tell Us We’re Wrong
Really,ย Young and the Restlessย fans??… Phyllis Summers and the new Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) sleeping together??… Really??!!??… She is only sleeping with him because she is bored out of her mind and has fallen under the spell of Aristotle Dumas, before he was revealed to be Cane Ashby, her son Daniel Romalotti’s ex-wife’s ex-husband.
Again, really??… Cane Ashby ended up being Aristotle Dumas??
Of all the Young and the Restless let-downs for Y&R fans, this has to be within the Top 5. There is no doubt across soap opera social media that Aristotle Dumas should have been Tucker McCall by Trevor St. John.
Young and the Restless fans have been demanding his return since he left the soap opera, and he wasn’t even killed off.
Tucker and Phyllis were vibing before he left Genoa City and is God knows where. There is unfinished business here, in and out of bed.
The 3rd and Final Reason: Y&R Fans Are Demanding Tucker Back
Seriously, up until Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) was sitting in the new Newman Ranch among a few of each of the Newmans and the Abbotts demanding a snack, Young and the Restless fans have not laughed like that since Tucker McCall did spot-on impressions of Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) when he was living with Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) at the Abbott House.
Tucker has SO much unfinished business in Genoa City. There are the obvious loose ends with both Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Ashley Abbott, and the business he barely started in and out of bed with Phyllis Summers.
Seriously, Phyllis needs a grown-up man to do in and out of bed. This Cane Ashby thing has an expiration date. Phyllis needs Tucker, and Y&R fans need Tucker, too.
