Story:

The Young and the Restless originally focused on the personal and professional lives of two core families in Genoa City: the wealthy Brooks family and the poor Foster family. After a series of recasts and departures in the early 1980s, most of the original characters were written out and the core families were replaced with the Abbotts and the Williams. Other families such as the Newmans, the Winters, and the Fisher/Baldwins were also introduced through the years. One storyline that has run throughout almost all of the show's history is the feud between Jill Foster Abbott and Katherine Chancellor, one of the longest rivalries on any American soap opera.
