Matt Cohen’s debut as Detective Burrow on The Young and the Restless raises questions. Good cop, bad cop… or fake cop?
Matt Cohen is officially shaking things up in Genoa City—well, technically Los Angeles—for now. The actor has stepped into the role of Detective Burrow on The Young and the Restless, making his debut on October 16. And if there’s one thing we can already say about this new character, it’s that there’s clearly more to him than meets the eye.
Who is Detective Burrown?
In his very first scene, Burrow approached Sharon and Nick at the hospital with some shocking news. After they’d just learned their son’s condition was critical—swelling on the brain and all—this so-called detective appeared out of nowhere to drop a major bombshell: what happened to their son wasn’t an accident. Someone ran him off the road and fled the scene.
But what really raised eyebrows was the way he handled it. Burrow didn’t show a badge, offer ID, or give them any real details. He just showed up, delivered the news, and disappeared just as quickly. Suspicious, right?
Who Is Detective Burrow Really Working For on Y&R?
Things got even more intriguing in the Friday, October 17 episode. Viewers saw Detective Burrow on the streets of L.A., making a phone call to someone mysterious. During the conversation, he admitted he told Nick and Sharon exactly what this unknown person wanted him to—and even promised to pass along Nick’s cell phone number. That alone screams red flag.
Is this guy even a real detective? Who is he working for? This storyline is just getting started, and there’s clearly more to come. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this shady new character as the mystery unfolds.
