Y&R.......Kind of sad or not?

About Daniel leaving GC the guy was on there for 8 1/2 years ....after reading and article (Sony Pictures Y&R) Daniel stated he said he was "absolutely" emotional after the relationships he's formed over the years. "Hair, makeup, cast and crew...they're my family. I treat them like family. That will never change," he said.....hair and make-up?LOL Graz as he is called does sound like a stand up guy and has nothing but praise for his fans and Y&R family.

He will appear in an episode of Justified airing January 22nd.

I am surprised I guess I will miss him after all..... he did say he's open to coming back to Y&R one day.

Thoughts on the characters or actor?
