Are They Crazy? CBS Names New Malcolm Winters on Y&R

Shemar Moore
Marcus Patrick

Darius McCreary

For eight years, SHEMAR MOORE smoldered on "The Young and The Restless" in the role of Malcolm Winters. Now that SHEMAR has moved onto bigger and better things on "Criminal Minds," his role has been recast. There were rumors that model/actor Marcus Patrick would be tapped for the role. Marcus is a soap opera veteran, having worked on "Days of Our Lives," "All My Children," and "Passions." He is also (almost) as smokin' hot as SHEMAR. So, fans were stunned by the announcement by CBS a few days ago that Darius McCreary, best known for his years as Eddie Winslow on "Family Matters," was being cast as Malcolm. We enjoyed McCreary's work on "Family Matters," and we have no reason to doubt that he is a competent actor. However, on the hottness scale of 1-10, he only scores about a 4.

CBS what are you doing to us?

SHEMAR MOORE is a 10. Marcus Patrick is a 9.5 (He doesn't have SHEMAR's charm, hence, the slightly lower rating.) Poor Darius just can't compete with these men in the looks department. Malcolm Winters is expected to be eye candy. Their casting sucks!

New Malcolm Winters on Y&R

We fell in love with SHEMAR MOORE on "The Young and the Restless," where he portrayed Malcolm Winters for eight years. Now that he has moved on to bigger and better things with his success on the series "Criminal Minds," Y&R sent out a casting call for a new actor to play Malcolm.

SoapNet is reporting that MARCUS PATRICK has been named as SHEMAR'S successor. MARCUS will make his first appearance in the role in November.

We're betting he'll have as many shirtless scenes as SHEMAR did back in the Y&R glory days. In fact, we're looking forward to it.

The New Face of Malcolm Winters?

For eight years, SHEMAR MOORE was the popular daytime character, Malcolm Winters on "The Young and the Restless." Now he is portraying FBI profiler Derek Morgan for a fifth season on "Criminal Minds." Returning to the soap role he made famous is impossible for SHEMAR with his commitment to "Minds," and it would not be a good career move for the rising star. So a casting call went out for a new actor to play Malcolm. Rumor has it that hottie, MARCUS PATRICK, is the front runner for the role. MARCUS has appeared in three soaps, most recently "Days of Our Lives." Could this man replace SHEMAR in our hearts as the new Malcolm? It is hard to imagine that anyone could replace SHEMAR.
