Is The Young and the Restless lacking in the young department? The biggest stories currently on the canvas revolve around the parents and even the grandparents of teens.
Which is great, history is to be respected at all costs, and older folks certainly have more depth than angsty teens. On the other hand, the grandparents and parents of today first appeared in Genoa City as, well, angsty teens.
Remember Paul (Doug Davidson) and Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) beach bum (and STD) days? Remember mean girl Lauren (Tracey Bregman)? How about Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) in high-school?
The only reason we care about them now, is because we knew them then. So does YR need to beef up its teen scene as an investment in the future? Over 4000 viewers voted:
