The week of March 21, 2022
Julia Montgomery, who portrayed Samantha Vernon on One Life to Live from 1977 to 1980, is heading back to her daytime roots – after 40-plus years. The actress is set to play Tanya on Y&R. The character is a Los Angeles real estate agent, which hits close to home for Montgomery, who actually has a real estate license.
It’s a short-term gig; one day at the moment. However, there’s always a chance the character could return.
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.
