The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y&R) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS. The show is set in a fictional Wisconsin town called Genoa City, which is unlike and unrelated to the real life village of the same name, Genoa City, Wisconsin. First broadcast on March 26, 1973, The Young and the Restless was originally broadcast as half-hour episodes, five times a week. The show expanded to one-hour episodes on February 4, 1980. In 2006, the series began airing encore episodes weeknights on SOAPnet until 2013, when Y&R moved to TVGN (now Pop). Pop still airs the encore episodes on weeknights, starting July 1, 2013. The series is also syndicated internationally. The Young and the Restless originally focused on two core families: the wealthy Brooks family and the working class Foster family. After a series of recasts and departures in the early 1980s, all the original characters except Jill Foster and Katherine Chancellor were written out. Bell replaced them with the new core families, the Abbotts and the Williamses. Over the years, other families such as the Newmans, Winters, and the Baldwin-Fishers were introduced. Despite these changes, one storyline that has endured through almost the show's entire run is the feud between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor, the longest rivalry on any American soap opera. Since its debut, The Young and the Restless has won nine Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. It is also currently the highest-rated daytime drama on American television. As of 2008, it had appeared at the top of the weekly Nielsen ratings in that category for more than 1,000 weeks since 1988. As of December 12, 2013, according to Nielsen ratings, The Young and the Restless was the leading daytime drama for an unprecedented 1,300 weeks, or 25 years. The serial is also a sister series to The Bold and the Beautiful, as several actors have crossed over between shows. In June 2017, The Young and the Restless was renewed for three additional years.

Jill Foster Abbott #4:
Why I'm so sorry... oh look at you all, you're acting like I'm mistreating some helpless old woman. Well that's because you don't know the facts, the fact is that this house that we are standing in is mine! Phillip died married to me! He died loving me! Alright, he loved her once, he did, but by the time I came into their lives she was a monster, he couldn't stand to be in the same room with her! She was a fallen down drunk and she wreaked of booze and her tongue would rip your head off. I gave him something that that man hadn't had in years, I gave him love, I gave him somebody to talk to and a little attention and yes, sex. Good, healthy sex with a sober, sweet smelling woman and it drove you so mad with jealousy that you killed him! Did you know that? Did you know that she killed Phillip by driving him off a cliff while she was drunk? Go on Katherine, tell us some more about your glorious times in this house with Phillip!

Katherine Chancellor Sterling:
This has really got to stop Jill!

Jill Foster Abbott #4:
It will stop! As soon as this house and these ground are mine as Phillip wanted them to be!

Katherine Chancellor Sterling:
Oh you are dreaming, oh God you are...

Jill Foster Abbott #4:
No I'm not! I have the evidence in black and white that Phillip wanted me to have this house! Look I'm sorry about this party, I couldn't think of any other way to do this.

Christine 'Cricket' Blair Romalotti Williams:
You handled this exactly the way you wanted to.

Jill Foster Abbott #4:
Yes, because I have lived for over twenty years feeling dead inside because the only man who ever really loved me was taken away from me! Yes I wanted to hurt Katherine! She killed my Phillip! Woman, you took what was mine and I am taking it back!
