Steve Burton Joining THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS?

When Steve Burton first announced his departure from GENERAL HOSPITAL a few months ago, fans immediately speculated his former GH boss, Jill Farren Phelps, would bring him to her new show, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, where she serves as executive producer. TV Guide Magazine is reporting it may have finally happened.
Reliable sources tell TV Guide Magazine that Emmy winner Steve Burton, former star of ABC's General Hospital, has signed up for a major role on CBS' The Young and the Restless. The gig, due to start soon, will have the insanely popular actor working once again for his ex-GH boss Jill Farren Phelps.
The news is still unconfirmed by CBS at the moment.

Who would you like to see Burton play on Y&R? Avery's ex (Dylan McAvoy)? A recast J.T. Hellstrom? A brand new character?
