The week of August 16, 2021
Melissa Claire Egan, who had reportedly left the soap on maternity leave in July, apparently wasn’t completely done filming. She’d been occasionally popping in at the studio to film some quick Chelsea check-ins. However, the actress is now officially done. Egan posted a photo of herself on Twitter on August 11, along with the message, “Last work selfie for a while!”
Elizabeth Leiner has officially wrapped up her run as Tara Locke, a role she began playing in March and was, initially, only supposed to last a few episodes. Her character was last seen being carted off in handcuffs for tax evasion. Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
YR made its debut in 1973 and introduced more sexual undertones and younger characters to daytime soap operas. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, four decades of storylines have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.
From Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) family machinations to Rey Rosales’s (Jordi Vilasuso) heroism to the adorable love story of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Summer (Hunter King), YR knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more.
It is one of four soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include General Hospital (GH), Days of our Lives (DAYS), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB). The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
