The week of January 31, 2022
Phyllis Summers considers a change in scenery this week, paving the way for actress Michelle Stafford’s exit from the show. But don’t worry, it’s just briefly.
The actress confirmed on social media that she is leaving the CBS soap, causing an uproar from fans. However, Stafford quickly explained that it’s only for two weeks – likely a vacation break. It looks like her character will be jetting off to Milan to visit her daughter Summer Newman Abbott (Hunter King).
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.
