Fans of The Young and the Restless have had trouble accessing recent episodes on Paramount Plus and CBS' free streaming platform. A Reddit user asked if others were having the same issue, and many confirmed the episodes had been removed, possibly due to broadcasting and licensing restrictions.
The Young and the Restless first aired on March 26, 1973, and has completed 51 seasons. Over the years, the show has seen significant changes in its cast. It originally centered on the Brooks and Foster families, but by the early 1980s, most of the original characters were written out, except for Jill Foster Abbott.
New families like Newmans, Abbotts, and Winters were introduced in the fictional town of Genoa City. The show is known for its storylines like the legendary feud between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor. With 11 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, Y&R has dominated as the highest-rated daytime drama for over three decades.
