The week of March 2, 2020
Tristan Lake Leabu pops back in as Reed Hellstrom, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and JT’s (Thad Luckinbill) son, on Tuesday, March 3.
Michael Maclane has been cast in the recurring role of Jared. The teenage actor begins airing on Tuesday, March 3 and will share scenes with Sean Dominic’s Nate and Brytni Sarpy’s Elena.

Robert Adamson wraps up his latest Genoa City visit as Noah Newman, after returning home to attend Newman Enterprises’ anniversary celebration.
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 Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) heroism to the adorable love story of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Lola (Sasha Calle), YR knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more. Sadly, times are shifting and daytime soap operas are shrinking.
It is one of only four remaining 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). YR airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
