Three years prior, Amanda Sinclair’s exit left fans anxious that her departure from the power dynamics of The Young and the Restless was irreversible. In 2022, Mishael Morgan resigned from her contractual role, passing the icy, sharp-witted attorney over to the writers.
Her motivations were evident—she sought to leave the Y&R environment, pursue filmmaking, follow her aspirations, and relish the flexibility of working from Toronto. While her choice was reasonable, it saddened many fans.
However, to everyone’s astonishment, on May 16, 2025, she made her return—and this was not merely a brief guest appearance. Amanda re-entered the scene wielding significant influence, representing a mysterious and powerful client at the center of a new legal and emotional conflict.
Mishael herself acknowledged in an interview, “After completing a Hallmark film, I realized I wanted to return to L.A., back to this Y&R universe that I have always cherished.”
Social media exploded immediately. Fans flooded timelines with comments like, “At last, the storyline is back on course!” One fan even remarked, “Every scene featuring Amanda is now worth watching twice!” Behind the scenes, there was a palpable excitement—writers had already crafted a significant plot arc for her, positioning her in direct opposition to key characters.
