I am now 54 years old, and ever since I was a little child, I've been watching the show. My grandmother used to sit us in front of the TV and made us very, very quiet while the soaps was on, and The Young and the Restless was the her number one show. I am afraid after all these years that we are starting to loose too many of the main characters and all the original cast will be replaced. Please do whatever it takes within reason to keep Joshua and Christel from leaving the show. God I would not know what to do if your ratings drop and you guys end my Show.
