‘The Young and the Restless’ Bryton James is So Talented Fans Can’t Get Enough

Fans tune in to soap operas for a wide variety of reasons — the drama, the romance, and the long-running storylines. The actors are also a major draw, and often times, talented stars rise to fame through daytime soaps. The Young and the Restless is one soap opera that has frequently provided the opportunity for actors to flex their dramatic muscles and really strut their stuff. One star, in particular, is earning acclaim from both critics and fans. 

‘The Young and the Restless’ is an acclaimed soap opera

Beginning in 1973, viewers were introduced to the dynamic, intriguing characters on The Young and the Restless. Originally broadcast in thirty-minute episodes, fans were quick to demand more, and the show was eventually expanded to one-hour episodes. The show revolves around two families — the Brooks and the Fosters, and over the years, more characters have been introduced, creating one of the most dynamic casts in daytime television.

While many critics have made fun of soap operas, The Young and the Restless is actually well-known for the quality of the writing and acting, and has won numerous Emmy Awards during the series run. It has also consistently earned high ratings, from both critics and fans. Fortunately, fans of The Young and the Restless have many more years of their favorite show to look forward to, as it was recently renewed to run through the 2023-24 television season. While the success of the show has a lot to do with the dedicated fan base and the quality of the storytelling on the show, there’s no doubt that the actors have a lot to do with how well The Young and the Restless has been received.
