One of the latest mysteries of The Young and the Restless revolved around the introduction of Damian — Nate Hastings’ half-brother and Amy Lewis’ son. When Damian finally debuted on the soap opera, fans seemingly learned that Nathan Owens, whose role had been kept secret beforehand, was playing Damian. However, the latest episode revealed that Owens was a fake Damian. This left fans confused as to who is the real Damian.
Here is your question answered.
Is Jermaine Rivers the real Damian on The Young and the Restless?
Jermaine Rivers plays the real Damian on The Young and the Restless.
Meanwhile, Nathan Owens whom fans had believed was the real Damian up until the explosive reveal, is actually Holden.
The reveal had surprised Sean Dominic, who plays Nate on the show, as well. He shared his thoughts in a Soaps interview and stated, “I was like, ‘Oh that’s what we’re doing.'” “[I was] completely in the dark for a week or two and then we found out, ‘Oh, oh there’s a foot to this,'” he added.
Meanwhile, Rivers said that tricking fans into believing Nathan Owens’ Damian was real was an “easy sell.” He backed his claims by pointing out how fake Damian and Nate resembled each other.
Owens’ fake Damian had come to Genoa City to explore a job opportunity at Winters that Nate claimed he had set up for him. However, Nate soon divulged a harsh truth.
The job offer Nate claimed to have offered fake Damian was not real. Nate then revealed that he had contacted Damian at the behest of his mother, Amy. This disappointed the fake Damian, who did not want to meet his mother and felt deceived by Nate. Feeling betrayed, he walked away.
Later, he went to a park, where he convened with the real Damian (Jermaine Rivers). It was revealed that the fake Damian was actually Holden, who had been posing as Damian to find out Nate’s plans. The real Damian soon learned of the fake Damian’s meeting with Nate and expressed disappointment at his privacy being put on the line.
