What do you think? Do you still like The Young and the Restless TV series? Are you glad that it’s been renewed so far in advance by CBS?
Getting rid of Victor is the worst thing cbs can do he is the best actor in entire show and he is also the main charecter
if Victor dies or JT diesnt get caught i am done and so are 5 other people i know, Y&R used to be such a great show but now its being changed to much all the good people are going and the new people are horrible between the killing of Victor, JT being evil, and Kyle and Dina Y&R is now bad depending how things work out it can be the worst soap opera and i also watched All My Children ive been watching all since i was 22
Now that Jack and Ashley are on equal footing can’t wait to see how this turn out
Loved this show since early 70s. Never stop loving to hate Victor. He’s the best!
getting rid of Victor is stupid he does such a great job and plays a big part and Kyle is annoying and bad acting and a terrible addition
when someone is leaving stop turning the to be bad youve done that with Jorfan, Chelsea, Tessa, doing it with JT and made Noah turn mean before he left stop turning them think of something new
If y@r gets a little boring. I watch it anyway.
end this story with dina NOOOOOWWWWWW!!
its very aggravating and idiotic either put her in a home or kill her already
Y&R had the most disappointed storylines since 2016 and it continues to go from bad to worse.
i was a caretaker for years the story with dina and grahm has got to go and tessa shes got to go there is no point of having her she has no part of the show the only way she grts her music is by stealing peoples things/ideas and using it to her advantage
dina has got to go that is a terrible storyline and now she is kidnapping kids peoplendont want to see that let alone to see how bad alzhemiers are its bad enough some people live through a family member having it not everyone needs to see it
you need to get rid of Dina showing how bad an illness is thus isnt a medical show thats not to be put in a soap opera and when you had to take care of someone with that illness for 4 unbelievably terrible years you dont want see it again even if it is in a show
i do enjoy Bold and Beautiful that is also good but its not as good as Y&R (Young and Restless)
i love Y&R at first i started watching it because of Melissa Ordway (Abby) but then i just got into the storyline as well and now i can say it is the best soap opera ill always watch Y&R as long as its on hopefully it will be for many years
I WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE TO WATCH BOTH SOAPS Y&R AND B&B…LOVE THEM SO MUCH CANT hardly wait until the next day to watch it again I have been watching the shows for years PLEASE DONT CANCEL EITHER SOAP THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT DOING SO.
I agree, will watch every day of my living life
As Young &Restless. Will never die.
