Jeff Branson is Young and Restless

Former AMC and GL hunk Jeff Branson is set to move to Genoa City. The Emmy winner will join several of his former co-stars, including hunks Billy Miller and John Driscoll, in his new home at The Young & The Restless.

Branson recently signed with Y&R for what is described as a "breakout role" that is part of a major storyline to be played out over the Summer. Next week, Branson will make his debut on the CBS soap as Detective Ronan Malloy, a new character who will be partnered with Chance (played by Driscoll).

Jeff Branson won the 2009 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his role on GL and is set to bring his acting chops to Genoa City beginning June 22nd.

Musser, Branson out at AMC

In the latest run of housecleaning at AMC, Alec Musser & Jeff Branson have both been dropped by the sudser to make room for the returning Rebecca Budig, Debbi Morgan, and Darnell Williams.

Musser and his impeccable pecs were the winner of SOAPNet's second installment of "I Wanna Be a Soapstar," and his tenure in Pine Valley was the only one so far that turned into a lengthy stay, even if he was massively underused (and over-clothed).

Branson scored an Emmy nomination in 2005, but his character has been horribly written ever since his killing character "got the bad cut out," supposedly returning him to viability as a hero.
