That's a Soap Legend!
The Male Stranger In Mariah’s Flashback Scene
If you were watching the June 6th episode of The Young and the Restless and found yourself wondering, “Who was that man in Mariah’s flashback scene?”—you’re not alone. Soap fans quickly took to social media to identify the mysterious figure, and the answer will delight longtime viewers: it was soap opera veteran Michael Swan!
Swan, best known for his role as Duncan McKechnie on As the World Turns, made a surprise cameo that sparked nostalgia across the daytime community. The actor teased the appearance on Instagram with a simple, yet intriguing, message: “Check out a fun Cameo on Y&R tomorrow!”
Michael Swan portrayed Duncan from 1986 to 1995, returning for a recurring stint from 2001 to 2002. The Scottish-born character was a fan favorite on ATWT, known for his charm, complicated love life, and ties to Oakdale’s elite.
While Swan’s appearance on Y&R was brief, it was a delightful nod to his rich soap legacy and a reminder of how intertwined the daytime world can be.
