A dozen actors from The Young and the Restless took a break from the grind of soap opera duties to mark the show’s 50th anniversary March 1 by doing something that can’t happen every day: unearthing a time capsule that was buried on the CBS Television City lot for 25 years.
Interred on March 26, 1998, it contained merch, scripts, faux newspaper clippings from the Genoa City Chronicle, two Y&r books by Mary Cassata and Barbara Irwin (who flew down for the event) and the last Ibm Selectric typewriter ball used by head writer Kay Alden before they switched to computers.
“I’ve been here 44 of those 50 years,” Melody Thomas Scott told THR of playing Nikki Newman on the show since 1979. “We beat astronomical odds to still be here and still be No. 1.”

How TV portrays AIDS // Soaps misconstrue facts about disease
By Deborah Rogers
The New York Times
September 6, 1988
Genoa City, Pine Valley and Bay City, the fictional sites of three popular daytime soap operas, have finally witnessed the arrival of AIDS, accompanied by accolades for addressing a significant social issue. CBS' Young An The Restless, ABC's All My Children and NBC's Another World have each woven the topic of AIDS into their story lines. Each depicts the disease differently; yet, they have in common one disconcerting element: All three AIDS plots on these television serials feature patients who are women - and women with no history of drug abuse.
This dramatic license flies in the face of the latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which indicate that as of Aug. 15, 1988, of the 69,577 individuals diagnosed as having AIDS, the overwhelming majority are homosexual and bisexual males and intravenous drug addicts.
