Will fans see The Young and The Restless Ending soon? Let us find out here. Created for CBS, The Young and the Restless is an American television soap opera by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell. The serial’s first episode aired on 26 March 1973, and it was a half-hour episode played five days a week. In 1980, the show format changed to one-hour. When it began, The Young and the Restless originally focused on two families. The Brooks family (wealthy) and the Foster family (working class).
After a series of recasts and withdrawals in the early 1980s, all the initial characters besides Jill Foster Abbott were written out. Bell substituted them with new families, the Abbotts and the Williamses. Over the years, other families like the Newman family, The Barber family, and The Baldwin-Fishers, were oriented. In spite of these changes, one of its most lasting storylines was the four-decade rivalry between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor, the most elongated rivalry in any American soap opera.
