All-new storylines will begin airing on CBS on Monday, August 10, The Young and the Restless announced on the show’s website. As the show returns, Genoa City is in for some extreme drama. Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) find their family threatened by a secret.

Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) continues to battle against breast cancer, and her family and friends rally around her as the struggle intensifies. Billy (Jason Thompson) and Lily (Christel Khalil) must handle a brewing scandal as they explore their new partnership at work, which may end up translating to something personal as well. Finally, Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) continue to butt heads as their rivalry with each other heats up. The fate of The Grand Phoenix and more hangs in the balance.
Watch for Amanda (Mishael Morgan) to put the brakes on her new relationship with Nate (Sean Dominic). Could this open up the possibility of something between Amanda and Devon (Bryton James) as they bond? Esther (Kate Linder) helps Kevin (Greg Rikaart) prepare to become a father again as the baby will arrive soon.
The show shut down production in mid-March as the United States locked down in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. After it ran out of new episodes, the CBS Daytime drama switched to theme weeks, replaying flashback stories to fit different themes, including the Newmans, Abbotts, weddings, villains, and more. This week’s focus is on “Oh my God” moments, and there have been plenty of those over the years.
Fans were thrilled with the news, and many of them commented on the show’s social media announcement about the upcoming, all-new episodes. Some also expressed that they’d like a refresher of what was happening before the break.
“Yay!! But I can’t remember what was going on before! Please post a synopsis of some sort,” suggested one viewer.
“I have enjoyed and will miss the classics, but I hope the writers made some improvements to the storylines and that the cast and crew stay safe. Looking forward to Monday!” a second fan enthused.
“This is such wonderful news! Not that I am complaining about the reruns, they were fun to watch, but I look forward to getting back to the present storylines,” replied a third follower.
