The Young and the Restless Celebrates 11,000 Episodes and 43 Years on Air!
Break out the champagne! And, while you’re at it, grab a hankie. CBS’s The Young and the Restless—daytime’s number one soap—will hit the 11,000th episode mark on September 1. But the celebration officially starts August 22 when that day’s episode kicks off with a terrific video, packed with vintage clips, in which Y&R icons Eric Braeden (Victor) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) reminisce about their early days on the show and recall their favorite moments. Longtime fans will especially appreciate Braeden’s deeply emotional tribute to the late, great Jeanne Cooper (Katherine).

By the way, this Eric and Mel video is merely the beginning. Y&R will mark the 11,000th milestone for two full weeks, with a special clip package kicking off each episode through Friday, September 2.
Congratulations to the entire Y&R cast and production crew, as well as the programming execs at CBS Daytime and Sony, on hitting this awesome TV landmark. You are forever Young!
