The week of December 13, 2021
As previously reported Melissa Claire Egan has completed her maternity leave and is resurfacing as Chelsea Lawson on Tuesday, December 14. Exactly how will she reenter the Genoa City scene? The character turns up at the Newman house and will immediately share scenes with the family’s big guns. Namely, Melody Thomas Scott’s Nikki Newman, Eric Braeden’s Victor Newman, and Mark Grossman’s Adam Newman.
The Young and the Restless 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), Y&R 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.
