What happens to Lola on The Young and the Restless?

Obviously, fans are thrilled to hear Calle’s news. They can’t wait to see her on the big screen. However, what does this mean for her Y&R character, Lola? As fans know, her first marriage to Kyle fell apart. Following this, her flirtation with Theo came to nothing, despite the great potential for a pregnancy storyline.

Does her new job mean we will see less of Sasha as Lola in Genoa City? So far, we don’t know. Meanwhile, the movie won’t be released until 2022 – surely filming won’t start this soon? Maybe Y&R producers can keep her on as Lola for a while?

Possibly, it will reach a stage in the storyline where Lola has to go away for a while? This could work, with Sasha returning once filming of The Flash is complete. Alternatively, after her first taste of appearing on the big screen, she might not want to return to the smaller version? Whatever happens, we will keep readers updated as soon as the news breaks.

In the meantime, catch The Young and the Restless weekdays on CBS.
