Soap Opera Social Distancing on The Young & the Restless

Y&R After Quarantine… Now with Soap Opera Social Distancing…

During quarantine, I stopped watching the Young & the Restless almost immediately after the new episodes stopped airing & the throwback episodes took their place.

Y&R After Quarantine… Sort of like Getting Back Into a Series after Summer Break

Getting back into watching Y&R after the quarantine was reminiscent of getting back into a series in the fall that has been on hiatus all summer. I seriously just got caught up with the exception of a few.

Sharon & Adam on The Young & the Restless
