To recall, Burton joined CBS' "The Young and the Restless" in 2012, TV Line reported. He was reportedly introduced to "The Young and the Restless" by the show's former Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelps.
Phelps apparently offered Burton a huge amount of salary in addition to a flexible short term contract with special schedule. Burton accepted the offer to join "The Young and the Restless" as he saw it as great opportunity that gives him more time to spend with his family while being able to work at the same time.
Meanwhile, Celeb Dirty Laundry pointed out that Burton's decision to leave "The Young and the Restless" is in perfect timing with his character's possible exit in the show. The report claimed that the revelation on Sully's real father may be used as a reason for Dylan to leave town and the whole of "The Young and the Restless" show.
"The Young and the Restless" producers have not confirmed how Dylan will be written out of the storyline as of this posting. There are no reports whether or not Burton's character may see a recast as well. "The Young and the Restless" airs every Monday to Friday on CBS.
