Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:37:50 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — It all started on a late morning on a highway. A camera panned to the cab of a large semi-trailer truck. The driver wore a plaid shirt and a day's growth of beard. Next to him was a mysterious hitchhiker in expensive clothes that were ripped and a fresh head wound.He got out at Genoa City. And he stayed.That’s how “The Young and the Restless ” began on March 26, 1973, and a lot of people also stuck around Genoa City.
