Root Cause: Which Heroine Are The Young and the Restless Fans Rooting For Most?

Fans watch The Young and the Restless in order to identify with and root for the strong women of Genoa City. But which ones are you crossing your fingers for most? Here’s what almost 2,000 fans have to say:

The Young and the Restless Poll Results: Gilding the Lily

She’s out of jail, in a new job, and in a new relationship. Which is why a winning 43% of the audience wants to see Lily (Christel Khalil) happy. She’s had enough pain in her past with a cheating Cane (Daniel Goddard), and serving her time for accidentally killing Hilary (Mishael Morgan). It should be smooth sailing from now on! You hear that, Victoria (Amelia Heinle)?

This Time Is the Charm

In second place, with 23% of the vote, is Sharon (Sharon Case). She’s survived cancer, Adam’s (Mark Grossman) obsessive attention, Faith’s (Alyvia Alyn Lind) teen angst, and now Rey’s (Jordi Vilasuso) poisoning. If anyone deserves a break, and maybe even some good news, for a change, it’s her. Here’s hoping!

Baby Blues

How about Abby (Melissa Ordway), 19% of you remind. Her husband just took off, and she found out she can’t carry a baby. You’re really hoping this surrogacy plan goes the way it’s supposed to.

After all, what can go wrong when a friend donates sperm, another woman carries your child… and your mother-in-law is hanging around to make sure her son is also represented in the process. Who needs to sign legal contracts!

The Big Sick

Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) is faking paralysis so she can outfox Adam, and 15% of viewers are rooting for her to get away with it. Not only is Adam still in love with Sharon, but, hey, remember when he had Chelsea kidnapped a few months ago? She got over that awfully quickly.

You’re happy to see she’s come to her senses… and is plotting appropriate revenge. The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for airtimes.
