CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers Throwback For July 21: Groundbreaking
Groundbreaking is a term we hear a lot, but that’s because it often carries a lot of weight and history with it. Or it should. Daytime television is full of groundbreaking moments, though most go unrecognized.
It’s a shame, but CBS “The Young and the Restless” Spoilers think it’s also one of the good things to come out of this lockdown.

Let’s face it, treasures like this are awesome to stumble across, especially when it took a fans’ choice to get this one seen.
Kinda wonder what the powers that be were thinking waiting so long, but then they have over forty years of shows to go through.
We can’t have everything, but a network to watch all of these old episodes and other soap operas would be a nice start.
What are your thoughts on the episode? Is it something to be proud of, or did it make plastic surgery too common place?
