The Young and the Restless "J.T." first appeared on the show in August of 1999. Holding a reoccurring role until 2010 and then returning in 2017 until his final departure in 2019, American actor Thad Luckinbill quickly became a staple of the show.
Thad, who was just 24-years-old when he began playing "J.T.", was a relative newcomer to show business, having only appeared in one series, Undressed, before landing the part.
The Young and the Restless "J.T."
Young and the Restless "J.T. Hellstrom" is first introduced as "Billy Abbott's" high school friend. "J.T." quickly develops a reputation as a ladies' man, dating a number of the show's characters including:
- "Rianna Miner"
- "Colleen Carlton"
- "Brittany Hodges"
- "Mackenzie Browning"
- and eventually his on and off again wife, "Victoria Newman" played by Amelia Heinle.
"J.T.'s" womanizing and bad boy personality eventually catches up to him over the years and is what leads to his untimely demise by a fire poker! But in Thad Luckinbill's very last appearance in March of 2019, it appears that "J.T." is very much alive and well!
