Show Summary

  • Returning Series
The Young and the Restless revolves around the rivalries, romances, hopes and fears of the residents of the fictional Midwestern metropolis, Genoa City. The lives and loves of a wide variety of characters mingle through the generations, dominated by the Newman, Abbott and Winters families. When the show premiered in 1973, it revolutionized the daytime drama. It continues to set the standard with strong characters, socially conscious storylines, romance and sensuality.''''The Young and the Restless premiered on March 26, 1973, and was originally a 30 minute show. It was not until January 1980 that the show had become a one hour show like it is today. The show has ran for years at 12:30 PM on the east coast, and at 11:00 AM on the west coast.''''Over the years, many things have happened, and there have been many twisted story lines, many stolen husbands, and many people dead. It has also featured character cross-overs with another CBS soap, The Bold and the Beautiful. These include the psychotic Sheila Carter, who began on The Young and the Restless and shown her more psychotic side on The Bold and the Beautiful. The same goes for Lauren Fenmore, who also can be seen on The Bold and the Beautiful occasionally.''''The Young and the Restless is not like other soaps which convey a surreal way of life. This show, however, is based on the lives of people in a small town called Genoa City, Wisconsin, where the money is plentiful and so are the women. Many times, we wish that we could live in that small, mid-western town, just to see how life would really be like. Sometimes, we put our own problems aside and worry about what will happen next on the show. However, we're very fortunate not to have a world like they do on any soap!''''The theme song was written by Barry DeVorzon and Perry Botkin, and originally entitled Cotton's Theme from the film Bless the Beasts, but later became known as Nadia's Theme.moreless

  • I like Adam and Sharon

    "Great"
    By DwightyBrown, Jan 06, 2012 Report Abuse
    I agree with most of the reviews but if it hadn't been for Nick using Faith to control Sharon, Sharon and Adam would be living happily together. Nick is a control freak like his father who I am glad is in prison but he is still running the show even from there!

    And this Billy and Victoria thing,,, can they not just be together already! Now a new woman comes to town to break them up over a baby. Please!! Can people just not be happy for a change,,,, okay so drama makes us watch,, but this drama is getting old and I am tired of the Newman's (minus Adam and Victoria) getting everything they want!! Show some justice here! :)moreless

    By TenekaFrazier, Dec 31, 2011 Report Abuse
    Please get some new writers for the Y&R.. this story has gone to hell. Victor is proposing to Sharon, Kevin is so stupid to not see what Angelina is doing. Deacon GETS ON MY NERVES!! Nick has slept with almost every woman on the show with the exception of his MOM. Phyllis MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL.... I am not understanding why ADAM & SHARON has to end up together again. We will never know what happen to Billy in Miramar.... why is Patty (MERNA) whatever her name is back. Last but not least WHO IN THE HELL KILLED DIANE ..... I guess we will never know!!!!!! Please fire the writers and cancel the damn show already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!moreless

    By AudreyThompso, Dec 28, 2011 Report Abuse
    I really am upset with the WRITERS because they keep putting Sharon and Adam together,they are making her look like she puts MAN over her childrenand that just aint right!!!!! He has done everything that could be done to a woman and MAN!!! and you keep putting him in good place! I have been watching this show since i was .....well lets say the BROOK sisters were on there and you know how many years that has been!!! I have almost decided to stop looking at it,simply because the WRITERS can't come up with better STORYLINES !!!!! COME ON,Stop making Sharon look like a tramp, and put her and NICK back, I have friends that feel the same way GET WITH IT WRITERS!!!!!!!! Signed : sick & tiredmoreless

    I havethis on my phone and the site update pretty quick but once I got my Nook I can barely get the site to come up. I'm guessing this is not made for the Nook table and I hate that.

    Missed having Melody on the show. So glad that she is back. Y&R is not as good without her, she makes the show more appealing to long time fans that love this show! Please don't take her off again. Welcome Back Nikki!
