Dylan McAvoy is a fictional character from the American soap opera, ''The Young and the Restless'', portrayed by Steve Burton. Dylan first appeared on January 29, 2013. He is initially involved in a story arc involving Avery Bailey Clark (Jessica Collins), his former lover who believes he died during the war in Afghanistan. Avery is stunned by Dylan's return, but remains in a relationship with Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow). Burton noted the extreme differences between Dylan and Jason Morgan. The actor was able to have a new wardrobe and look. While Jason was confined and "Stone Cold", Dylan has been credited by Burton as allowing him to portray his lighter side in addition to more of his own personality. The character was later paired with Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan); their short-lived romance received negative reviews from viewers and critics alike. In October 2013, it was revealed that Dylan is in fact the long-lost son of Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), Nicholas' mother, making them half-brothers. In June 2014, it was revealed that Dylan's biological father is Nikki's childhood friend, and chief of police, Paul Williams (Doug Davidson). Burton's performance earned him a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2014. == Casting == In October 2012, Burton departed the role of fan favorite Jason Morgan on ABC Daytime's ''General Hospital''. That November, news broke that ''The Young and the Restless'' put out a casting call for a character named Dylan, who was slated to "hit the airwaves" in early 2013. The casting call described him as a "rugged, dynamic, energetic man in his mid-30s" who "comes from humble, blue-collar beginnings, was studying to be an architect when his construction/contractor father was injured and Dylan had to drop out of college to take over the business. He's done two tours of duty in the Middle East, army special ops. The war left a mark on him. He's done his best to bury it with optimism and a wry, sometimes offbeat sense of humor". After the casting call was issued, there was brief speculation that the character was a recast for Chance Chancellor, who was also a war veteran.〔 Later, Burton's name was attached to the role.〔〔 During an appearance on ''The Talk'' the following January, Burton officially confirmed that he was cast as Dylan.〔 The episode of ''The Talk'' was described as "phenomenal"; Burton had no idea it would have been "New Year's Eve kinda crazy."〔 After one of the show's co-hosts Julie Chen made the announcement of his casting and welcomed Burton to the CBS family, confetti dropped while another co-host Sheryl Underwood did a "wild happy dance".〔 Burton said, "I had no idea about the CBS badge or the welcome basket, or anything. That’s not how I think. I understood why CBS did it, because it’s a big deal. I get it. It’s so strange for me, because I have never been one for all this publicity. They have been so gracious to me, and it was so overwhelming that they would do something like that."〔 Burton made his first on-screen appearance during the episode dated January 29, 2013. He attributed much of his success going back to the 1990s when he studied acting at Theater Theater in Hollywood, California, coached by Chris Aable who introduced him to fellow actors Gedde Watanabe and Jon Cedar. 〔 Burton's casting attracted a significant amount of media attention. ''The Hollywood Reporter''s Lesley Goldberg noted that it reunited Burton with executive producer Jill Farren Phelps, who was previously the executive producer of ''General Hospital''. Speaking about the decision to cast him, Phelps told ''TV Guide'' that the casting department were seeing several actors for the role, and the thought of Burton was "just a dream". She then contacted his manager and together they were "able to make it work out so that Steve could continue to have the life he wants in Nashville." Discussing his decision to join ''The Young and the Restless'', Burton said on ''The Talk'', "I told my manager if I can keep my family there and I can spend time with them and come back and forth, I would do that in a second. Without hesitation, CBS Daytime made that deal. Really quickly. This is crazy, but I'm just so happy to have the best of both worlds for my family, because before, I couldn't."〔 Burton was happy with the flexibility of his "short term" contract, "I'll get a lot of long weekends and frequent weeks off so I can get back to Nashville. I don't want to work five days a week like I did at ''GH''", he said during a ''TV Guide'' interview. The actor said he had "those first-day-of-school jitters" when he first arrived at the CBS building, but was welcomed by everyone.〔 A week before Burton's debut on the series, a promotional ad aired, teasing his arrival with the slogan ''Daytime's Hottest Soap Just Got Hotter!''. In November 2014, Burton confirmed he had re-signed for another year with the series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dylan McAvoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
