TV show description:
This long-running soap begins by following the lives of the wealthy Brooks family and the less fortunate Foster family in Genoa City, Wisconsin. Since then, the show’s focus has shifted to follow the Abbott and Newman families as each owns and operates their own cosmetic companies.
Arrogant businessman Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) heads Newman Enterprises and his on-again off-again relationship with wife Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is often a cause for drama. Their marriage has produced two children, Victoria (Heather Tom, later Sarah Aldrich and Amelia Heinle) and Nicholas (Joshua Morrow).
John Abbott (Brett Halsey, later Jerry Douglas) founded the rival Jabot Cosmetics company and his children, Jack (Terry Lester, later Peter Bergman) and Ashley (Eileen Davidson), work for the company in various capacities over the years. One of the soap’s longest running plotlines is the rivalry between Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Foster Abbott (Jess Walton) which began when Jill’s affair with Katherine’s husband resulted in a son.
Other families impacting the never-ending drama include the African American Winters and Barbers.
Actors Shemar Moore, Vivica A. Fox, Eva Longoria, and Tom Selleck, are all celebrities that have been part of the large cast during their careers.
I just heard that Phyllis is leaving the show. That is the reason she is being shipped off to the island off of Georgia. I think she is the best actress on the show and has such passion. I love her with Jack. He is worthy of her. Nick was not. Sharon is a loon. Can ‘t stand her. Victoria is a Daddy’s baby girl and can’t make it on her own without her Daddy. Victor is pure evil. I don’t think there is anyone who can replace Phyllis. I also like the old Abby. She was great. I do… Read more »
Just reading some of these old posts and can’t believe what some of you are saying. I love Victor and Nikki. Sad that Jeanne Cooper’s character appears to be developing dementia. I love Catherine Chancellor and I wish she would have more scenes. Maybe she is thinking about retiring but I hope not. I would truly miss her. She, Victor, and Nikki are soap opera legends. My favorites besides the above are Jack, Phyllis, Nick, Sharon, Michael, Lauren and Adam. I wish Chelsea would just go ahead and tell Adam she is pregnant. You know he is going to figure… Read more »
please do not end the young and the restless i been watching that show for 50 year please please dont love it to much it a relexing hour for many people after a long day at work it relexing time for many people PLEASE DONT THANKYOU
The Young and Restless has run its course .It is time for the show to end along with Bold and Beautiful Days of Our Lives and General Hospital
I like the Y & R, but I am getting a bit weary of watching Victor and Nicky being front and center on the show. These 2 characters are real jerks in my opinion. Victor is pure evil disrupting and corrupting the lives of many. And his has been stripper wife is an air head that lacks indepth character. Yet all the other characters follow them like a bunch of sheepal. They constant accept them and treat them with abiding respect? It’s a great imbalance to the show. I have often wondered why they didn’t just name it ‘The Victor… Read more »
I have loved Y & R for so many years it is like a creature comfort for me. No matter what goes on in my life that is the one thing that is always a constant..I can’t imagine why they would ever cancel it. I do think some of these crazy story lines lately have been a bit much and drug on way to long. Maybe they need a mystery writer that is able to wrap things up within a few shows may be helpful. It seems like some of these story lines drag on and are just forgotten which… Read more »
I writing for two reasons….1. I would love to know where to find that flaming pink dress that Sharon wore to Nick’s almost wedding at Glow Worm. She was stunning and I would love to try that dress for myself! 2. To the comments on the new plus sizes Black actress…I think that she should be given more chance to grow in her skills as an actress! I think she is doing just fine! She as far as I am concerned is a very beautiful young woman and the comments ripping everything about her apart…truely just not right. The people… Read more »
