I don’t watch soap operas because I don’t have cable, and I have better things to do during the day.

This is a milestone for a soap opera to be at the top of the ratings for 1000 weeks in a row. Soaps have been having a hard time keeping and finding a mainstay audience. But it looks like “Young and the Restless” is doing just fine.  The CBS daytime drama has been on top since the final weeks of the Reagan administration — that says something wonderful about the show.

Variety reported that the soaps genre as a whole has been hit by declining ratings over the years, but “Y&R” remains its bellwether program. Sony sudser, which celebrates its 35th year on the air later this month, just achieved a major milestone by winning the ratings race in households for an amazing 1,000th consecutive week.

Michelle Stafford, who plays Phyllis Summers Abbott, is a wonderful person.  I am happy for her success and the show’s success.
