While The Gates won’t make its grand debut on CBS Daytime until early 2025, the network kicks its Fall Daytime Lineup into gear with intel on its two powerhouse soaps, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Plus, this preview includes veteran game shows Price is Right and Let’s Make a Deal.
The Soaps
CBS has been the highest-rated network in daytime for the last 38 years. While soaps are pretty much a 24/7, 365-days-a-year business, they, too, have new season premiere dates and, of course, milestone anniversaries.

- CBS announced that for Y&R’s 52nd year, there will be plenty of suspense, romance, and, of course, rivalries.

- Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) continues to be haunted by her past, which will lead her to channel her dark side.
