My husband commented today that, for a show called The Young & The Restless, there don't appear to be too many "Young" on it. Maybe Kyle and Audra, and Summer, could be called young, but as for the other main characters--Victor, Nikki, Jack Abbott, Diane, Mamie, Tucker, Ashley, Tracie, Lauren, Michael Baldwin, Phyllis, even Victoria and Billy--they're not exactly young! Maybe they're supposed to be the "Restless"?
Back when I first watched the show, there was a range of ages, which I really liked. Even though I was young, I liked seeing Katherine. And when I was thirty-ish, I liked Mac, Billy, Raul, and Britney. But now that the show's audience is pretty old, the median age of lead characters is old too, and there are virtually no young characters at all. My husband noted that the main characters like Jack, of course Victor, Nikki, Diane, are all way, way older than the central characters back in the day ... in the mid 1990s, divas Nikki, Ashley, and Jill were actually younger than even Sharon and Victoria are now! They were like Lily and Daniel's age. At least Kyle and Audra are 30-ish and featured.
