Popular actress Sofia Pernas (Marisa) was recently bumped to recurring status at The Young and the Restless, but according to a YR spokesperson she "will continue to be seen on the show." But will the actress be available? Pernas has landed a lead role on the CW pilot, Transylvania

"On Monday morning I called my manager to let him know I was ready to take on what was left of pilot season and he calls about an hour and a half later telling me to put myself on tape immediately for Transylvania," Pernas tells Soap Opera Digest.

"The next day I went in to see casting and a couple hours later, I booked the part and I flew to Toronto the next day! It was absolutely insane and it was incredible how it all came together. A real stars aligning kind of moment." As for Genoa City, she says, "I will absolutely endeavor to fit in future appearances if the show goes to series. I love Y&R, love the producers, cast and crew; it's so much like a big family!"
