It appears as though Tammin Sursok (Colleen Carlton) is exiting The Young and the Restless for good.

Sursok joined the cast in July 2007, in the middle of a whirlwind of controversy surrounding Adrianne Leon's exit from the top-rated series.

Now, rumors are swirling that Leon may be returning to replace Sursok, though a show spokesperson told SoapCentral.com that Sursok is scheduled to return to The Young and the Restless later this year.

Colleen will be written off the show for approximately six weeks because Sursok is filming a movie called Albino Farm.

Meanwhile, in addition to the rumors of a possible return by Leon to the show, there are whispers that Sursok's on-screen love, Eyal Podell (Adrian Korbel) will soon be exiting the series. We'll keep you updated on all these stories as they develop.

Congratulations to The Young and Restless' Tammin Sursok!

The young star has landed the lead role in the Nickelodeon movie Spectacular!

The story centers on a preppy high school student (Sursok) who is part of the school's Spectacular! choir. The group is in sad shape, with its most talented members either having graduated or been stolen away by a rival squad.

The teen sees salvation in a cocky rocker (Canadian Nolan Funk), who reluctantly joins Spectacular! to win a money prize that would finance his rock 'n' roll dreams. However, the rocker doesn't factor in falling for the preppy girl.

Way to go, Tammin! Congrats on the role.

Tammin Sursok has a pair of new movies coming out this year:

1. The horror flick Albino Farm;
2. The drama Crossing Over, which also stars Harrison Ford and Sean Penn.

Don't worry, though, soap opera fans: Sursok is on her way back to The Young and the Restless soon.

Tammin Sursok is joining the cast of The Young and the Restless.

The 23-year old actress from Australia talked to The Sunday Telegraph about her good fortune.

"I don't know what was going on but something was going my way.  I was just very lucky," she said. "The whole thing is you get out here and audition, audition, audition and hopefully something sticks.''

Sursok is best known for her portrayal of Dani Sutherland on the Down Under television series, Home and Away.  She stayed with the show until 2004, after which she spent two years auditioning for various parts in Hollywood.

It's finally paid off.

On The Young and the Restless, Sursok plays Colleen Carlton, daughter of Brad Carlton (Don Diamont) and Traci Abbott Connelly (Beth Maitland).  The role previously belonged to Emmy Award winning-actress Adrienne Leon, who was unexpectedly let go from the show in earlier this summer.

Sursok said her character “comes in as a good girl” but then eventually gets involved in some scandals.

“I fall in love with my teacher and then I have an affair with one of the main guys,” she said.

The show does air on the Australian subscription channel, Foxtel, but Sursok's fans from her native land will have to wait until next year to catch her debut on the soap opera.
