'Soap operas will always be my first love.'
I haven't watched The Young and the Restless in awhile, at least not on a regular basis, but I did watch a couple of episodes last week. I tuned in as I could not help but notice the press and social media promotion for the show's 50th anniversary. I had watched off an on when I was a teen and remember some of the well written storylines when the show was run by Bill Bell.
One of the storylines that always stood out was the last storyline for the devilish David Kimble. If anyone watched back in the early 90's, David ended up with a blotched plastic surgery, (above) after trying to disguise his murderous face from the citizens of Genoa City. The last we saw David Kimble he was lying in a pile of trash after being killed by a garbage compactor. Fitting end.
When I read that some returning characters were coming back for the 50th anniversary shows, I was hoping David Kimble, and actor Michael Corbett might be on that list. Sadly he wasn't, but resurrecting David Kimble would be a great idea!
Although Michael continued to act after leaving Y & R, he also ventured into other areas of the entertainment business. Corbett went behind the scenes, working sound on a number a television shows and movies and was also a producer on films including Fifty Shades of Grey and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.
Corbett's biggest success however came in real estate. In addition to selling, Corbett has written three best-selling real estate books, and was a regular commentator on television discussing issues relating to the real estate business. In addition to regular appearances on Extra, Corbett has also been featured on The View, Today, The Tyra Banks Show, Larry King Live and many other news and entertainment programs.
