Can’t wait !I’ve been a loyal Y&R fan for over 40 years. One of my sisters and I would role play some of the scenes but really exaggerate the drama.
Very special show for many years wish we could get that magic back ! But keeping in the spirit happy 50th
I’ll be there, front and center! I know we’ve been discouraged with lack of good SLs but like family,you don’t just dump them when they displease you.
WOW—Violet!! You’re right—-We all have members in our own families with whom tempers flair—-but, we love each other.—-except for Diane—-is she a narcissist or what? That dream of hers truly is a fantasy. All about her.LOL
No one on earth could ever take my mother’s place—-This only proves how deluded and off-the-wall-this woman is—bad news is on the way—beware GC.
Happy Happy 50th—❤️
Celia, if I believed in reincarnation then I must have been a real s.o.b. in my previous lives to have to suffer today’s Diane-centric fantasy episode. What horrors! I knew Phyllis would revert to reckless, destructive mode again but the more that Jenkins woman is rammed down our collective throats, I can’t really blame her. I found MYSELF trying to text Jeremy today, saying “I’m in, too.” Pathetic.
Here you go again, Soaphound—cracking me up—-just getting into bed and laughing my head off, as I read your comment—-ever tell you my husband thinks I’m a little crazy? He’s looking at me weirdly.
How old is Diane supposed to be?
Oh, man—I’m with you—-can’t wait for a Jeremy/Phyllis “partnership”—-in more ways than one —-this will be the next hot couple, putting everyone else to shame.
Any luck getting through to Stark? LOL
Happy 50th Y&R
Derrick, you are a fan too!!! Another reason to love you on Eyewitness News!
I have been watching the Y&R fo”r 50 years! I would watch with my mom when I’d be home from school or work. When I would get home from work, my mom would tell me what happened on the show, then one day when I came home my son came running up to me saying “Mamam Cricket got raped and Michael got caught!” That was the last time I had him watch the show, he was too young for watching then repeat it. He started watching TV with my dad instead. Then on days when I didn’t have work, I’d… Read more »
Question-Sharon,
You a fan/watching for 50yrs/half a century-
Did the YOUNG and the restless actually have young people??
cuz if it did they’re all senior citizens on the cast now.
Were the characters then actually young and restless?
LOL, SusieQ—According to my grandmother? Yes!! They were young and restless–especially Nikki–ohh, boy, was she ever restless!! ❤️
Celia,
Your grandmother is very right but as I said to Susie I can relate to those people who’ve grown and aged right along with me! Most of the younger ones, not so much, especially Summer lately being such a spoiled brat getting Grandma to help break up her dad and Sally, which I’m not a fan of either but he doesn’t butt into her lovelife.
Well, Violet, I fit more in your circle than you think—my grandmother introduced us ( grandchildren) to soaps—-she took care of us while our parents worked. My ideals and mores have always been old school. So, nanna’s word was law—if she liked a character, we liked the character and vice versa. I don’t remember storylines because I was too young—-also, we were in school—but, my interest in Y&R really started when Nick’s and Sharon’s love story began. I agree about Summer—-i don’t like the way she treats her mother—-no matter what, Phyllis means well, albeit intrusive—she’s still her mother. As… Read more »
HaHaHaHaHa—-you know I meant Summer. right. Violet? LOL—I mean “S” is right next to “D”—-I should sport shorter fingernails??
But, if you think Dummer is a better alternative—go for it. LOL.
I think she’s a little stuck-up, albeit I sort of like her —just a tad unapproachable.
Celia, I had to read and re-read and then saw the second post. I am still laughing as I thought you meant Dummer as in Dumb and Dumber, but had fun trying to figure out which was which. I thought you might be referring to Nikki being as I guess she’ll be helping Summer tear Nick away from Sally. Gee, look what a slip of a finger can cause. Oh, Nikki changes her hair a lot, so really didn’t notice but I have noticed something for years that never changes. It’s the cutest smile even at her age, if you… Read more »
LOL, Violet—I should have left it “as is”—but, Summer is not so dumb–Actually, after today’s episode ( which I just watched ), the “title” is more fitting for Phyllis. I can’t believe I’m saying this because I’ve always respected her “smartness”, for lack of a better word. She and Stark hatched up the most idiotic stratagem–they’re supposedly such astute co-conspirators. They’re doing exactly what was done to Stark–How hard is that to figure out? More Dumb and Dumber? Nick and Adam. Then, there’s Nate and unsexy Victoria, who is sooo not a minx. No coquette there. She was never a… Read more »
Celia, I was still laughing last night about that D&D thing , my cat gave me a dirty look and tore off. I’m afraid she’ll have a nervous breakdown . Ha,ha! I’m still wondering why Kyle and Summer never pursued questioning Phyllis as to to how she got the J.Stark info of him going to Paris in the first place , and then them confirming it. It would be to pat and suspicious for me. Jack did say it could be a trap. Stark wants Phyllis to get the two personal items of Diane’s, wonder if one will be the… Read more »
SuOOO , Sticking my nose in here! Yes,Celia is right. Nicki was very restless, had a couple of husbands nd a baby before she was 30. Jill, another one, playing with Jack, marrying his father, etc, etc. Mrs. C already pushing 60, her mantra “I’m going to live until I die” and that she did. The booze, the men, her escapades, but I think we all loved her. I still love these characters, not the younger ones like Sally, Summer, Kyle,Maraih and her boring wife, whom I hear is thankfully leaving. There are too many of these 20-30 age group… Read more »
Sharon Wallace, I can relate to just about all you said about Y&R even to your son seeing and hearing too much at a young age. I had the same thing happen with my granddaughter years ago so from then on, didn’t watch when she was there. I miss Doug Davidson too and his sleuthing as only he could do, unlike this grundgy Chance. Do you remember that big old steel thing he used as a briefcase? And Lynn who was so crazy about him? I really felt bad last week when we couldn’t see a reunion with his daughter.so… Read more »
Finding it odd that Mark Grossman and Courtney Hope were missing from this CBS special (50th Anniversary of Y & R). What gives?

Stacy Keibler to be Inducted Into WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023
With Wrestlemania 39 weekend in Los Angeles fast approaching, a fourth inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame has been announced.
As many had predicted, Stacy Keibler will join Rey Mysterio Jr., The Great Muta and Andy Kaufman as the class of 2023. The induction ceremonies take place on Friday night and stream on Peacock beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Keibler (age 43), the now mom of three, was shocked and emotional upon learning she was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. When speaking with PEOPLE, who broke the news of Kiebler’s induction, Stacy expressed that she found out from an unexpected call from a WWE rep two weeks ago, while she was in her kitchen.
“When she told me, I screamed,” Stacy shared. “Tears were in my eyes, and I was completely overwhelmed with just gratefulness.”
As for how she made her way into pro wrestling, Stacy first made her mark after winning a contest to become a member of the WCW Monday Night Nitro, ‘Nitro Girls’ dance troupe.

A self-admitted long-time wrestling fan, Keibler first made her mark when she became an ‘accountant and manager’ in WCW named ‘Miss Hancock’. When Vince McMahon purchased WCW, Keibler headed to WWE and in 2001 made her debut as part of The Alliance.

Later, Stacy was renamed as ‘The Duchess of Dudlyville” and managed The Dudley Boyz. Still later, she managed Test, Scott Steiner, and then came Rosey and The Hurricane, where she became ‘Super Stacy” along with the superhero duo. Throughout her WWE career, she had shared memorable matches against Torrie Wilson and Sable.

Since exiting the WWE in 2006, Keibler has appeared on numerous TV shows including: competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars and a guest-spot on How I Met Your Mother.
So, what do you think of Stacy Keibler being named to the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2023? Comment below.
Hi 💛
Been busy the last few years as a mother, wife and raising my kids, but excited to be back and reconnect! pic.twitter.com/op5VGtlLi3
