The Young And the Restless Soap Opera?

Hey guys.

Since my favorite Soap (Passions) is getting canceled, I figured I would start on a new Soap this summer while I'm out of school....

At the moment, it seems like General Hospital and The Young and the Restless are the best! (I know lots of people like Days of our Lives, but my mom watches that haha)

So anyway, if you watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, would you mind telling me why you like it?

Thanks!

(P.S.) I already posted one of these for GH, if you like that one more! :D

Easy 10 pnts.

The Young And the Restless Soap Opera?mr messed up

There are just so many reasons to watch Y%26amp;R. My advice would be to go and read the history of the storylines. Y%26amp;R is the only soap I know that has tackled issues from cancer to hearing loss, being blind, epilepsy, alcoholism and now porn addiction. It also wrote in a real face lift when the woman who plays Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) had a face lift in real life.

The Young And the Restless Soap Opera?getting late opera theaterHey don't be a stranger. Post comments on what you think about the show. We have plenty of Y%26amp;R questions here. Report It


This is the best soap opera! The actors and actresses are the best. They make us feel the emotions that they are going through. They have stories on here that we can relate to. The Young and the Restless is good with bringing new characters on to the show. I think that is better than having the show be only about one or two families. There never seems to be a dull day on this show. Every day is action packed. I have been watching this show for over 20 years now. (I started watching with my mother when I was 10 during time off from school.). I come over to my mom's house every day to have lunch with her and watch our favorite soap opera together. This show is awesome and I can't think of a better show to watch.
OK - I have been watching since the beginning. You know David Hasselhoff - right? (Baywatch - America's Got Talent).... He started off as Snapper Foster (Jill's brother). Now that you have a familiarity started here....let's continue.

Jill had an affair with a man named Philip Chancellor who was married to Kathryn. We just found out that an earlier link with another man made Kathryn prgnant and had a baby that she gave up - you guessed it - Jill.

Through feuds, etc....Jill now has the posh job of running Kathryn's company (she is LOADED).....

That is just one of the storylines.............you can find the history of any soap opera on the net - or in books....

Quote from below net source......

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 Young and the Restless premiered in 1973, it revolutionized the daytime drama.
I guess i would say i like Y%26amp;R because of the characters and storylines. They seem a bit more realistic than say Passions or DOOL. I know most soaps are far fetched but Y%26amp;R doesn't go to far out
the show is awesome . the actors play they part with so much realism that you can actually feel for their character and the plots are very realistic so you can relate. this is undoubtedly the best damn soap show period
I've been watching Y%26amp;R on and off for years since I was little, it's the kind of show you can't help but watch. I tried watching some other soap operas but as far as soap operas go I think Y%26amp;R is the most realistic :) You really grow to love the characters and people who you once hated begin to be your favorites! I hope you like Y%26amp;R I do :)
Young and the restless kills any other soap opera. I love The young and the restless! If you like passions, you havnt seen nothing yet!
spectacular acting!!! they are so believable and they are good at what they do...........wonderful and strong story lines.

I also watch GH.........its ok. they have a mix of both great and not so good actors. but it will be ranked #2 on my list.
In a nutshell, Y%26amp;R is everything Passions isn't. For me, watching Passions when I'm home is like a bad habit and I'm only seeing it through the end just to see how they end it. The Y%26amp;R writers move storylines along, bring in new charachters that are actually interesting, are not redundant, etc. Frankly, I'm surprised that Passions lasted this long. Eight years and nothing has ever really happened. The same people are still fighting over the same people (can we say, "Co-dependant?") and I'm not sure if any storyline has ever really ended, except for Martin and Kathrine (is that her name?) running off together. Silly people. They wouldn't be in these messes if they weren't so clingy and codependant.
