Terry Lester played the playboy bad boy perfectly.
Terry was great! Rest in Peace ❤✌🕊
I was pregnant with my son in 1974 when I started watching, now he comes over twice a week to watch this and B&B with me!
I have been watching since the beginning
That’s funny, I was pregnant with my son Douglas the same time you did
@@olgacalvert909 I was living in San Diego, CA at the Salvation Army Door of Hope (home for unwed mothers). All the girls in my (18 & under) Cottage watched it together ❤
@@nursenancy888 how are you now, hopefully you are doing great and happy. Blessings
What a sweet son
Jaime Lyn Bauer DID NOT portray Leslie Brooks! She played Lauralee (Lorie) Brooks.
You are correct! How do these people get it so wrong?
@@DianeHasHopeInChrist Well, the off-kilter English and crappy editing are a tip-off.
Correct - Janice Lynde played Leslie Brooks (later Eliot).
I’ve been watching it since the very first episode. Back then it was only 30 minutes long. Amazing the show has stood the test of time
I USED TO WATCH IT YEARS AGO UNTIL THEY STOPPED PUTTING IT ON FREE TV THEN I GOT INTO THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL. I WISH THEY WOULD PUT THE BOLD ON FOR ONE HOUR BUT ITS ONLY HALF HOUR SHOW.
I’ve watched it since day 1 but not by choice. Only way mom would get quiet time by making me and my brother sit on opposite sides of the couch to watch or sleep. 😂 as young as I was the show grew on me. 😊 ah. The episodes of yesteryear.
I think I started watching a few months in! I loved the original cast! Loved the Jill/ Katherine fued! Watching the re-petes in 2020 made me miss the glory days of Bill Bell and his writing team all the more! I wish 🤞 these people could take a lesson from him! *SIGH*!
I've been watching Y&R for 42 years. I was sorry to see Paul go.
watched since the first show
The Young and the Restless when it first started was the frirst time i ever watched it back in 1973.
Yeah Me too ✋ 🙂
Still watching since day one.❣
Since 1976. I was 13. My grandmother loved her “stories “. Guiding Light and As the World Turns
My mother liked "Love of Life." It was the first one that came on, actually at 11:30 a.m., though I think it later moved to 12 noon.
I've been watching this show since it first began I can remember when it was a half hour show I would watch it with my mama when she would do the house work I am 56 yrs old
Leslie Brooks performed at Victoria and Ashland wedding on the piano she was one of the Brook’s sister
Did Theo meet her? I think it would be his aunt if I'm not mistaken.
I was 5 years old when The Young And The Restless first aired and still watching it.
1973 with my Mom. She would tell me about it when I was in school.
Have watched since day 1. Miss the original cast and the storylines. I still watch today but it's a shell of its former self.
Watching since the early 70’s. I’m a loyal fan!
Watching since day 1
That’s when I started watching Y&R on March 26, 1973 when it debuted.
I have been watching faithfully now for 44 years! 👍🏼😁💜
I started watching in 1975 and still watch it today.
Jamie Lynn Bauer was Lori Brooks not Leslie.
Jamie Lynn Bauer was the actress that played Lorie,not Leslie. Janice Lynde was the original actress that played Leslie.
And both of them were recently interviewed at the 50th Anniversary of Y&R...here on CZcams!
Began viewing Y&R late 2015.
Ive been watch Y@ R since it first aired. i use to walk home from school to watch it, now im 64 and still watch it daily
Dose it feel like you grew up with the characters?
I've been watching it since the mid 70s
Yup, started when it debuted! Was in NSG School...still watch it today....either I am devoted or old....its both! Watched the spin offs Santa Barbara(?) and of course Bold and Beautiful....
Santa Barbara was an NBC show.
The concept of the Daytime Drama was forever changed when we were introduced to the intriguing residents of Genoa City on the Young and the Restless. Since premiering in March of 1973 it has gone on to win 11 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Daytime Drama and has been the Top Rated Daytime Drama in the United States for more than 30 consecutive years.
I loved Terry Lester as Jack!!! I watched through highschool
86-90 then again when Nick and Sharon were married… I just got too busy to keep up but we always talked about it around the nurses station at work
On our break and which kept me afloat. Lol
I like the Brooks & the Foster families the best.👌🏻
Thank you for sharing the history of the show. Didn’t know.
William Grey Espy /Snapper Foster(original)Is So Handsome OMG🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was when soap operas were fascinating
Always missed the actor who played the original Jack Abbott. Older sister in the house so I remember the original episodes from the 70’s.
I REMEMBER THE FIRST JACK, I ALSO REMEMBER THE 2ND JACK. I CANT SEE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT TRACEY SO FAR. I REMEMBER HER TOO AND MANY OF THE OTHERS.
Happy 50th Y&R, I was 6 in 1973.
I've been watching y and r since the beginning
Still watching now, and have been since the premiere. Writers were much better then. Jess Walton is a phenomenal actress and so much better than Brenda Dickson. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Robert Parucha, Doug Davidson, and Jamie Lyn Bauer. Very personal and so down to earth. By the way, some of the photos do not match the narrative, and you speak way too fast. As a senior citizen it would be nice to see close captioning and have it remain on the screen long enough to read it.!!!!!!
Brenda had some good scenes. Her Jill was a bad girl.. Jess Walton Jill was very much different bad Jill .
I’ve been watching the YR since early mid 70’s
I'm remembering that first family the Brooks and the fosters were the show first family
I’ve been watching since 1982, i have hardly ever missed an episode
Keep the support going!!!!
After both Where The Heart Is and Love Is A Many Splendored Thing were canceled on Friday, March 23, 1973, this led to CBS becoming the king of daytime premiering The Young And The Restless on Monday, March 26, 1973!
Also cancelled that day was the short lived daytime variety show hosted by legendary sportscaster Vin Scully.
Victor looks a little better now than Heidi’s when he was younger. Never found him attractive
Where is Trish Stewart now? She played Christen Leigh Brooks' character.
Catherine and Jill will always be legendary!
I e been watching y&r nonstop for 50+ years. I remember when I was very small child and supposed to be taking a nap in the couch, would sneak and watch it through the afghan I was covered up with.
i love it from day one
Till the end
Nice short video, however there was inaccuracy. I do wish that they would have continued the storylines with the Brooks , Fosters and the William’s families. So much to mention in such little time !!
Totally agree with you
I started watching around 22 years ago, when I was 14 or so. I also watched a bit as a kid in the 90s
1992 I was 14 yearsold
I think the 1st Jill, the 1st Jack and Loren Foster were the best. They kept you tuning in every day
I have watched it from 1984-2000. I watched when I could before 1984 so I probably started in 1981. Since 2000 I have only watched it intermittently.
I have been trying to see the Young and the Restless season 1 episode 1 but unable any suggestions out there.
Wow, I never knew any of this. And one of my babysitters used to watch Y&R and General Hospital back in the day.
I've been watching since I was 12 yrs old
I think they should bring on some of the Brook's family descendants. People really enjoyed Theo while he was on and they should bring him back imo. The current families are all related in some way, so not a lot of chances for new relationships to happen.
Started watching in Tucson in 1981 when I heard on the radio that Steven Ford was on the show. I loved Terry Lester as womanizer Jack...he was perfect! My next-door neighbor at the time went to school with Hasselhoff! Small world...still watching faithfully today.
I found this out years later but the actor who later played evil James Steinbeck on ATWT was once on Y&R.
I watched ⁴ yrs
watching since June 1983.
I’ve been watching it since the very first episode, I was two.
These casts today is the best by far!?!😊
Couldn't agree more!
I've been watching it since it first aired in the 70s and I've seen family Dynamics come and go on the show this video was very accurate
I really and truly miss the people in that group photograph at the beginning of the video, the original cast.
Btw, you misidentify "Brad Elliot" as "Stewart Brooks." You also misidentify Janice Lynde ("Leslie") as Jamie Lyn Bauer ("Laurie").
Since 1978
Bill Espy returned to Dothan, AL to run the family business. Was a member of the church where I worked.
That's so cool
Yet the Victor and Nikki storyline has been going on since the early 80’s.
I remember that I remember the first show in 1977
The show is now the Newman hour, 😴
Newman Enterprises versus "J'Beau."
The these were the good olds of yr they gone so to the left
The character of Victor Newman came on the show not too many years, maybe 4 or 5, after the show began.
A couple other families that have come and gone from The Young & The Restless or has seen limited screen time... The Winters family has mostly disappeared from Y&R, with the exception of Lily, and Malcolm returning every now and again. Olivia, Dru, and Mamie disappearing.
Y&R isn't the same without Neil and Katherine as their respective performers, Kristoff St. John and Jeanne Cooper, passed away in real life, and their characters were retired.
It would be nice to see Y&R bring back a character or 2 from the Brooks and Foster families for the 50th anniversary.
Nowadays, it's like the Newman, Abbott, and Chancellor families is what's keeping Y&R relevant.
Right from the start
Never remembered it as a half hour show.
I USED TO ENJOY WATCHING THIS SHOW UNTIL IT STOPPED ON FREE TV. THAT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME. AND I LOST INTEREST IN IT WHEN IT FINALLY DID COME BACK TO FREE TV AFTER SOME YEARS THEN I COULDNT FOLLOW IT. TOO MANY YEARS WERE LOST OF THE SHOW. BUT I REMEMBER MR BROOKS. HE WAS ALSO IN THE TIME TUNNEL. HE WAS YOUNGER IN THAT. HE PLAYED A GOOD ROLE AS MR BROOKS IN THE YOUNG AND RESTLESS. I LIKED THE ORIGINAL JILL FOSTER ABBOTT. IT WAS A SHAME WHEN THEY REPLACED HER WITH THE 2ND JILL. I ALSO REMEMBER NICKI, JACK THE 2ND AND JACK THE FIRST AND LORI, LESLEY AND CHRISTINE, DANNY AND A FEW OTHERS WHICH I CANT THINK OF, OFF HAND. THESE DAYS I JUST WATCH THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL.
Same thing with The Matthews Family on Another World. By the time the show went off the air in 1999, the only person who had a link was Steven Frame (Jamie's Son and Steven's Grandson). Also on Eastenders that debuted on February 19 1985 it focused on The Pauline Fowler (nee Beale) & Her Fraternal Twin Peter Beale and their extended Families. Now The only Fowlers are Martin Fowler, his Daughter Rebecca aka "Bex", who still never got over Stacey Slater. Kathy Beale, Pete's Ex Wife her Grandsons Bobby & Peter are the only Beales around.
I’ve been watching off & on since it first came on! As I grew older & started adulting, I recorded the shows & now I don’t watch as often because it’s different - in a bad way.🤷🏼♀️
My entire life.
It says it's about the Brooks and Foster families but it shows everybody else.
I stated watching y nr and b n b gh since 1987
I've been watching this show since the beginning. Your riding now has become so weak and Mild it's not funny. Most of these stories you can relate to just Hollywood. There's nothing realistic in it anymore to think that there's even a family that lives like that.
Chris Brooks was the daughter of Sally McGuire? No, she was the daughter of Jennifer Brooks.
Sally and Snapper had a son together. Sally left with her son...never to be seen again.
@@joycheek6756 I forgot about that. I didn't even remember the "Sally" character, though I remembered everyone else. I thought Snapper was with Chris from the very start.
I used to watch Y&R with my Mom during summer vacation and other time off from school. I remember that one day she said about Snapper (at that time still the original), "Such a handsome guy and they stuck him with that stupid nickname!"
for a long time i Robert K had seeing the young and the Restless even back into the 1973 i was born when the show was made and seeing bill bell workings is sill cool and seeing the 1 jack was need but i do love and like when the new guy who took over as Jack right and need ,as for a war with foes Katherine Chancellor and Jill Foster Abbot is cool but for guys doing it Victor Newman vs Jack a is more cool too, Terry Lester is to be missing for a long time on the show , i had to ask get the job playing jack a , i like to seeing if it some one form other show to doing the job , the bad boy , sir .
Who played Stuart brooks
I would like to see Theo interact with this side of his family. Was hoping they would redeem Theo and make him a good person but they didn't.
Since Dec 1992
Jill was not actually a Foster she was adopted by the Fosters. And at one time it was believed that she was the baby that Katherine gave up for adoption making Katherine her birth mother, however this was all put in motion by Tucker McCall who was actually the baby Katherine gave up for adoption but Jill and Katherine did believe they were mother and daughter for many years and it greatly improved their relationship it was not perfect but they were not ALWAYS down each other’s throats all the time
What I don’t understand is why the uploader of this BRIF clip with CRAPPY picture quality has the nerve to IMPOSE an add!!👎
Instead of playing Abby and Adam Newman those actors should star as Jennifer Foster (Chris and Snapper's daughter) and Brooks Prentiss (Leslie/Lorie and Lance's son).
Best years I think we're 1982-1997.
Making Jill Catherine’s daughter was stupid.
That was undone.
Yes. The idea that Jill had been adopted was OK. But having Catherine turn out to be her real mother was bizarre. I recall the episode where Jill had finally figured out that Liz and Bill weren't her real parents and was trying to get Liz to spill the last details. And all Liz could say was, "You were so beautiful when Bill brought you home!"
@@57highland They found out she really wasn’t.
@@travisjames3517 That's good. Did they ever find out who Jill's real parents actually were?
@@57highland Neil Fenmore is Jill’s bio father, making Lauren her half-sister. Mother is unknown.
Very long time
Ill never get over the writing off of the Brookes and Fosters. I watched from almost the beginning in college. Victor was an abusive controlling husband in the beginning.
And look how he's changed
thumbs down...
u r showing lots of contemporary scenes, stills...
Why did the original Jill and ashly leave the young and the restless
No like from me. That was Janice Lyn who played Leslie Brooks. Jamie Lyn Bauer played Lori Brooks
Some stuff was right and some stuff was wrong.
Brenda Dickson was OG Jill and Jess Walton is current Jill.
Are there anymore true working class key characters on the show?
🎯 THAT’S what’s missing!!!!!!!
I’d rather watch the old re-runs of y & r now rather than today’s show. The character developments are way off & the current string of “bad guys” are paraded in only to kill them off just doesn’t flow well imo.🤦🏼♀️ I began watching briefly when I was in grade school when we had early-release day. Those were the days.😃
Agreeable! The old re-runs had a special charm and the character development was so much better.
Yes! The character development was awesome!
Never liked grumpy harsh elizabeth who was Jill’s mother. Her voice grated
I Love Everyone On the Young and the Restless Every Since 1973 As For Catherine Chancellor
What A Very Sweet Woman R.I.P Sweet
Dutchess. Like The Hottest Man Called Her Before
She Passed away 😢 R.I.P 😇😇😇😇
Boy she sure was grumpy!
@@lindahollander3588
Amen to that God bless and Take care of yourself 😷
@@darlastone4159 thank you ,God bless you too
I liked her ,she was a very talented actress and her voice was strong,but very effective,but like they say one man's gold is another man's junk.

Do your homework Leslie left in 1977
