The Young and the Restless Fan Event 2019 Photos, Tidbits & Teases
On Sunday, The Young and the Restless hosted their every two-year fan event for their die-hard faithfuls and beloved fans who came from across the globe and the U.S. Fans representing Australia, Canada, France, and Switzerland showed the depth of how Y&R has reached a worldwide audience as well as domestically.
Presiding over the cast introductions were Daniel Goddard and Melissa Ordway. Several tidbits were announced from the stage as well including that: Melissa Claire Egan’s first airdate back as Chelsea is set for this Friday on the June 28th episode of the CBS sudser.
Jess Walton revealed to the audience that though she took July off, she will be back in August for a run of shows meaning that viewers will see a lot more of Jill Foster Abbott in the months to come. In addition, Jess said that Daniel Goddard mentioned that her jacket reminded him of the Sound of Music, which provided a laugh for the crowd.
Tammy Diamond was one lucky fan when her name was called from the stage as the winner of the raffle that has the winner getting a Y&R character named after them, or mention in an upcoming script.
Not in attendance were Marla Adams who was dealing with a health issue, but Beth Maitland said she had a message from her on-screen mother to thank everyone for their support of the Alzheimer’s storyline on Y&R. Jason Thompson, Amelia Heinle, Joshua Morrow and Tracey E. Bregman all had prior commitments and could not attend the event, but everyone else from the cast was there and the fans were thrilled to see them up close and personal,
In an emotional moment, Doug Davidson thanked the fans for willing him back to the show and back on-contract. Laurelee Bell also thanked the fans for if it were not for them, none of them, nor the show would still be on the air.
When Melody Thomas Scott and Eric Braeden took the stage to address the crowd, Braeden said that while Victor is having health issues on-air, he is just fine squelching any rumors. The iconic duo also noted that they were very happy with the regime change of EP Tony Morina and head writer, Josh Griffith leading Genoa City right now.
In a fun moment, Sharon Case took to the stage with her on-screen love interests, Mark Grossman and Jordi Vilasuso, but the trio found themselves auctioning off “Shick” scripts to the winners!
Kate Linder got into the audience as the fan event auctioned off a set visit to Y&R, and as it turned out, two fans won set visits each bidding $5000 for the opportunity.

OK–
The Young and the Restless needs to change its title/Name..
Most all these pictures are of Senior Citizens.
Now- I luvs them all, great actors and characters, but-
they are not young nor restless.lol
When Y&R started, they were young, but time moves on.
To be in the classification of young is to be 30 and below.
Now 40 is said to be the new 30 so can push it up to a squeaky 40.
A new title is needed, indeed.
I will be thinking of a new one..
Anyways–
having a two-year fan event is a good thing.
The fans love it as do the actors.
Wonderful that the many actors showed up to greet their diehard fans, exciting for all.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Marks 39th Anniversary with On Set Celebration Plus a Lisa Yamada Sighting (PHOTOS)
This week, The Bold and the Beautiful is celebrating their 39th anniversary on the air, having debuted back on March 23, 1987. Here we are heading into what will be next year the series fourth decade, and the lives and loves of the fashionable Forrester, Spencer and Logan families are still at the core of the storytelling of this half-hour soap.
On Monday, several of the cast and behind the scenes creatives marked the occasion with an on set cake-cutting and some words from series executive producer, Brad Bell which included, “My dad (the late William J. Bell) always called it the ultimate collaboration and its true, so cheers to us!” Also on Monday as Bell shared, Bold and the Beautiful announced the launch of their new streaming app and digital platform BBTV (BoldandBeautiful.com)

The two sightings raised the question, if Luna is back taping all-new episodes of the soap and did not die, or could she be appearing as a dream/nightmare where she is haunting Dylan (Sydney Bullock), since it was the former school teacher-turned-Forrester creations employee, who ran her down? O,r was she just paying the show a visit on its anniversary? Viewers were previously told by Brad Bell that Luna is dead. But this is the soaps, and no one is ever really dead, are they?
Taking part in the festivities also were cast members: John McCook (Eric), Thorsten Kaye (Ridge), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Don Diamont (Bill), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Jennifer Gareis (Donna), Rebecca Budig (Taylor), Harrison Cone (Deke) Laneya Grace (Electra) and Brayan Nicoletti (R.J.) as well as series director, Cindy Popp.

So, what do you think of the Lisa Yamada sighting? Do you think she may have appeared in an upcoming episode? What about Christian Weissman? Happy to see many of your favorites marking the 39th anniversary of the daytime drama series? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
The Bold and the Beautiful is set to unveil their new R.J. Forrester the week of January 12, when Brayan Nicoletti takes over the role of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) son.
Over the years, R.J. had been played by several actors, but Joshua Hoffman was the last to take on the role. At the time in 2023, R.J. was romantically involved with then goody-goody, Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), before she turned into a murdering psychopath.
Things fell apart between the two after Luna slept with Zende (Delon de Metz) after mixing Poppy’s (Romy Park) magic mints and alcohol. At the time, it appeared Zende took advantage of an out of it, Luna but the story flipped much later, that she arranged the whole thing.

The last time anyone saw R.J. on the B&B canvas was back in October of 2024 at a Forrester Creations meeting about continuing the Hope for the Future line, or not. Enter actor Brayan Nicoletti as the new R.J. as 2026 begins and as previewed by The Bold and the Beautiful’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell, in his winter preview, viewers should looks for R.J. and Will (Crew Morrow) to have a young rivalry that also brings in Electra (Laneya Grace) and Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock).
Nicoletti has previously been seen in the 2024 film, Woodbridge and the short, No Boys Allowed. The Bold and the Beautiful marks his first soap opera role. Now below, check out a few more first look snaps of Brayan as the new R.J.
