Their latest tale of green and greed is a little different. Kay (Jeanne Cooper) left a whole bunch of money to Devon (Bryton James), the grandson she only knew for a little while and who’d been adopted by a guy with a ton of cash of his own.

Or maybe you hope, if you’re supportive, you’ll get a cut? The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for airtimes.
