The journey of Dylan Mcavoy on The Young and the Restless
Dylan McAvoy, played by Steve Burton on The Young and the Restless, faced many ups and downs during his time on the show.
He grew up in Darien, Connecticut, and went to Chicago for high school. His life took a turn after he met lawyer Avery Bailey Clark, as they fell in love, but their baby didn’t survive, which also ended their marriage.
Before Dylan would leave to serve in the U.S. Army, he asked Avery to marry him, but she chose to live with Nicholas. Avery soon found in the newspapers about the demise of Dylan in a war in Afghanistan, but it wasn’t true.
To find Avery, Dylan visited Genoa City, where Avery had moved to her sister Phyllis. He took a job at Nick Newman’s bar, The Underground, in The Young and the Restless. Avery saw Dylan there but ignored his presence.
Dylan helped Sharon Newman as she met an accident after a snowstorm and developed a bond, which resulted in a short-lived relationship. Dylan got his father to Genoa City, as he was not well, but died.
Dylan sought emotional support from Chelsea Lawson, but she lied about being the mother of Dylan’s kid, as it was revealed that it was Adam Newman’s child.
As the truth about the child’s paternity was revealed, which ultimately led to Fylan and Chelsea’s marriage falling apart, Dylan remained in Genoa City. He soon found out that Nikki Newman is her biological mother, because of which, his connection with Sharon grew further.
This happiness was short-lived, though, as Sharon told Dylan that their son Sully was not theirs but Nick and Sage Newman's. After Dylan lost Sully, he was shattered and emotionally broken.
To get over his trauma, Dylan joined the FBI and went undercover to infiltrate a drug ring led by Luther Fisk. Dylan’s cover was blown when Sharon called his burned phone, which led to a face-off with Luther’s goons. He survived and got nto witness protection.
Dylan left Sharon, as he didn’t want to risk her life and left Genoa City in 2013, after which the only thing Sharon received from him were the divorce papers through his attorney.
Fans of The Young and the Restless can watch new episodes of the show on CBS.
