[edit] Cast List Revert

I've reverted the addition of the standard cast list, like on the other soap articles, because not only are most of the actors linked already, their descriptions are much more in-depth than any list can provide. Mike H 04:26, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

Do not keep adding the standard cast list, or I will lock the article until the anon IP discusses his changes. Mike H 03:24, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comings and Goings (cast)

Why has this been removed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.54.17.184 (talk) 03:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Young and the Restless Clothes

Is there a website that sells the clothes that are worn by the characters on Y&R? Leo Collin 19:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kay kissing Joann Curtis

I don't believe this, basically because of the big fanfare surrounding Bianca's kiss on All My Children. Can anyone give me evidence that Kay actually KISSED Joann? I've heard of the homosexual subtext but I thought it was just that. Mike H 23:42, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

I read it in the Soap Opera Encyclopedia, by the late Christopher Schmering. --JamesB3 10:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Katherine Chancellor did NOT kiss Joann Curtis...that was supposed to happen but William J Bell did not carry it through due to the negative reaction the affiliate stations complained of.

[edit] The Brooks and Fosters

Should we add the Brooks and Fosters to the list of longtime characters? Zzyzx11 19:22, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't know. Only a few of them I would consider meriting a mention as they are not really felt on the serial today. I'd go for the Foster family (mainly Liz and Jill) over the Brooks family, and if we do mention a Brooks member, it'd be Lorie since she came back in 2002. Mike H 07:20, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
Maybe not after all. Jill is listed under the Abbotts. And if I do add Liz and Lorie, I'll probably only repeat what is already in the first paragraph of the history section. Zzyzx11 03:13, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Crossover Section

Something happened to the crossover about the characters from Y&R appearing in Doug's dream on The King Of Queens. Shouldn't that count as a crossover? RobertCMWV1974 15:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted article

What happened to the Kate Linder page? Kogsquinge 20:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Behind The Scenes

I combined Production & Writing into YR: Behind The Scenes to make more room on the Y&R page.


[edit] History

I've broken up the history section into sub sections such as early years, revamp, minority characters etc to make it more readable. Dippit 08:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why

Do Sherman Augustus redirect here?

[edit] Corrected spelling

I have corrected the spelling of Ted Shackelford in several places both in this article and in other related Y&R articles. Please be sure you are spelling his name correctly. Dbart 18:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

I just noticed that the entire "Show History" section was copied from the official Y&R site. Needs to be rewritten. Kogsquinge 05:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schedule

Just wanted to know why two cities from the Phoenix, Arizona metro area are listed separately (Glendale & Scottsdale). AFAIK the whole of the Phoenix area is served by KPHO, based in Phoenix.

[edit] Sierra Hoffman

I added her to recurring since soapcentral.com still does —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.194.114.163 (talk) 19:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC).

SoapCentral doesn't always have the most up to date list. Asia Smith as Sierra Hoffman hasn't been seen in over a year and is no longer part of the cast. 216.82.171.38 20:29, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Senior Cast Members

This list is most definitely valid. It says "Senior" not "Original" so there is absolutely no reason to delete it, rather it serves as an easy reference for those interested in who has been on the show the longest.

I completely agree. Jeanne Cooper may not have been on the very first episode (hey, neither was Susan Lucci on AMC) but she was introduced the first year and is definitely the "senior" cast member of the show.The Invisible Man 18:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Does the show ever just get called Young and Restless? Because I'd like to make that article (which currently redirects here) an actual article about something else (a band), and know to know if I shuold make it a disambig, or just use that article name. -- Chuq 09:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

If Y&R is referred to as 'young and restless' that is simply an error by the writer or speaker. It is either referred to as 'The Young and the Restless' or 'Y&R'.

[edit] Contract Cast

Has anyone else noticed that in the Credits Nia Peeples is listed with the contract cast members. Should she be removed from recurring to contract. 03:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split?

This article is over 50 kilobytes long, exceeding Wikipedia's recommended article size. Therefore, it should be split or rewritten, possibly modeling it after something like the EastEnders article. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

In fact, I might want to also use some ideas from the new version of Days of our Lives. See Talk:Days of our Lives#Days Page New Look. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I am in complete agreement. Split away!  :) --Elonka 01:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] where is it filmed

Is it filmed in NYC or LA? Arthurian Legend 02:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Los Angeles, at CBS Television City —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.194.253 (talk) 06:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taping style

Intersting bit needs further clarification:

When the show began as 30 minutes in 1973, it was shot in what is referred to as "Live To Tape", meaning it was basically like a stage play that was filmed, with actors freezing in place during the "Black Space" where commercials would later be inserted by the network and affiliates. Later, after the show went to 60 minutes in February of 1980, the taping style changed, and it was shot scene by scene, and edited, with which the format stands to this day.

This is interesting but needs to be better clarified. Practically all daytime soaps, and UK and Australian soaps, have their individual scenes taped live to tape (switched in the studio). These scenes are then compiled into the proper order for broadcast. So does the above paragraph mean that the entire Y&R episode was done 'live to tape'? In that case, did they switch back and forth between different locations through a segment of an episode? Does the above mean that each episode was taped in sequence and that only after the switch to 60 minutes did the more usual out-of-sequence taping style come in?
