Mr. Eighties

On this day, December 26, 1988, The Young and the Restless officially overtook General Hospital to become the #1 daytime soap opera in America. General Hospital had held the top spot since 1979, but The Young and the Restless claimed its throne and hasn’t looked back since. Even today, it remains the most-watched soap opera on daytime television.
