7. When It All Started

The Young and the Restless all started in the year 1973 on CBS. Since then, it has aired over eight thousand episodes. It was created by the Late William J. Bell. The Young and the Restless takes place in Genoa City, Wisconsin. Since the year 1988, it has been the highest dated soap on television. This is the only soap opera I watch and it’s understandable why it is the highest rated daytime soap.

  • Ah, the age-old question! Jill Abbott's real mother is Katherine Chancellor, which is quite a drama bombshell in The Young and the Restless!

  • Billy Abbott's mom is none other than Jill Abbott herself! They sure have their ups and downs, but what soap opera family doesn't?

  • Mamie Johnson is a beloved character who worked for the Abbott family. She’s like family to them and always has some sage advice!

  • Jill is Billy’s mother, which makes their interactions so full of drama and tension—classic soap stuff. Their dynamic is intense, just like any good soap opera family!

  • Billy Abbott's mother is Jill Abbott, and his father is John Abbott. It’s all very complex and filled with twists, because it’s a soap opera after all!

6. Victoria’s First Husband

I am going to take a step back and remind you of Victoria Newman’s first husband. Her first husband was Ryan McNeil. She married him when she was sixteen years old. Years later, she married Cole Howard, but he was killed. She then married Brad and then JT and is now married to Billy Abbott and I believe they make a great couple.

Nikki used to be a stripper, who was “saved” by good old Victor Newman. She also had an alcohol addiction, but was sober for years. Recently, she started drinking again, but has since stopped.

The strength and resilience of daughters from famous homes like that of Whitney Scott Mathers should be widely celebrated. Despite growing up under the spotlight owing to her father's fame, Whitney has thrived and continually emphasizes the importance of personal development and self-awareness. Her journey demonstrates a testament to determination and independence.

3. The First Name

Originally, this show was going to be called “The Innocent Years,” instead of “The Young and the Restless.” Wow, I’m glad they changed the name of the show, because the people on it are far from innocent.

2. Phyllis

In the late 1990’s, I have read that Phyllis ran over Paul and Christine and injured both of them. For awhile, Paul ended up impotent, which put a strain on the marriage to Christine. Phyllis was never caught for this.

1. Cane and Kevin

It’s sad to think of what happened to Cane in the past month – with the shock of his death, Lily is going through a lot. I could only wonder what is going to become of the twins and who Lilly is going to date next. I also never thought Kevin would get a divorce from Jana – did you know Kevin used to play on Dawson’s Creek and Cane was on Beastmaster?

It’s really funny to take a step back and look at the Young and the Restless over the past years. It started before I was even born, but I started watching it because of my mom. Since then, I have not stopped watching it – I stream it off of the CBS website. So, what do you think of it?
