From Genoa City to Salem: Former Y&R Alum Joins DOOL Cast – What It Means for the Storyline

Days of Our Lives is expanding its cast!

The long-running Peacock soap opera TV series is adding a new cast member, and he hails from The Young & The Restless, among other projects.

A spokesperson for the show confirmed to Soaps.com that the actor has been taping scenes, and will be expected on-screen during the first week of October.

The details of his role are still being kept under wraps.

Michael Roark is joining DOOL in an undisclosed role.

You may already know him as Travis Crawford from The Young & The Restless back in 2016, who became involved with Victoria while she was under the guise of Tori.

“When the owner of Hank’s Bar found out who she really was, they carried on a romantic relationship — in fact, they were even engaged until Billy exposed Travis for having a one-night stand with his former lover,” Soaps.com recalls of the character.

He previously starred on Drop Dead Diva as Joe, The Glades as Justin, The Vampire Diaries as Cowboy, Banshee as Billy and Grey’s Anatomy as Jordan, among other roles. More recently, he played Butch on The Black Dagger Brotherhood as well as Alek in the 2025 film Catalyst. Stay tuned as we wait to see who he’s playing!
