The age difference between the two actresses may work in favor of the character and lead to Faith being involved in more adult situations. Right now it’s drinking and driving, bullying and texting. An older Faith will probably become involved in being defiant, romance and sex. The Young and the Restless fans also mention that the show has followed a pattern with blonde women in the cast. Some viewers will be watching to see if the new Faith’s hair will eventually become much lighter as Caster’s hair is noticeably darker than Linds.
