The Young & the Restless recent episode has made fans think that Roger Howarth, who plays Matt Clark, is leaving the show. Matt announced that he would no longer remain in Genoa City and apologized for the pain he had caused. While Victor tried his best to make him stay through his warnings, Matt wouldn’t listen to him. Here are details on the events that appear to have set up his exit.
Is Roger Howarth’s Matt Clark leaving The Young and the Restless?
There has been no official announcement around Howarth’s Matt Clark departure from The Young and the Restless. The speculation emerged when a recent episode showcased his plan to leave Genoa City so easily. Many wonder if he is really leaving for good or if it’s part of another clever scheme.
Matt went to the new Shadow Room bar to inform Nick, Sharon, Sienna, and Noah about his decision to leave. He mentioned that he would give them everything that they wanted. Aware that he has brought horrors to them, he is also well aware that they will always perceive him as evil. Nick asked him where he’s going. Matt responded that he isn’t certain, but he does plan to go somewhere new and start afresh, while making someone happy. However, he believed that Victor might cause some hindrance in his plans, but Nick reassured him that he’ll deal with his father. Ahead of leaving the bar, he apologized to everyone, but Noah continued to doubt his intentions.
At the Newman ranch, he meets Victor and announces his departure. However, his news was not well-received by Victor, who warned that breaking their deal could be dangerous. Before this, Matt tried to explain to him that nobody wants to give him a chance and that he’s struggling to make things work in his favor. Despite Victor warning him not to leave, Matt debated and eventually left. He then heads to Phyllis and lets her know the decision. However, Phyllis tells him that she won’t let him go. It remains to be seen if this really marks Matt’s exit or if something unexpected is cooking behind the scenes.
