Young and the Restless on New Year’s 2026
Y&R took us to 2010 on Christmas, reminding viewers of their interpretation of A Christmas Carol with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) in the role of Genoa City’s Scrooge. He was in need of the ghosts of Christmas past to put him on the right holiday track. Continuing with the trend of providing fans with classic, must-watch episodes, Y&R is traveling 28 years back in time for New Year’s Day.
Doing so reunites us with the late Jeanne Cooper, who played the great Katherine Chancellor. The stately woman with a big heart for family and a shrewd eye for everything else is throwing a soirée. Expect to see her mansion done up in style for the party, but the sparks flying won’t be from fireworks or sparklers. No, Jill (Jesse Walton), her sworn enemy, pops by, which throws all Katherine’s goodwill out the window. How’s that for ‘Auld Lang Syne’?
Bold and the Beautiful on New Year’s 2026
It seems like it was just yesterday that B&B took fans to Capri for the soap’s latest trip to Italy, but it was actually back in July. So, while the daytime drama isn’t going too far back in the past, viewers will be luxuriating in the summer sun with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Eric (John McCook), and Nick (Jack Wagner).
This visit set the stage for Bridge’s reunion, but it looks like CBS is going to focus on the fashion of it all. Particularly, Brooke and Ridge’s partnership, not only as a couple but in a business sense. B&B has been gearing up for a major reset now that Katie (Heather Tom) is launching a fashion house with Bill’s (Don Diamont) support.
The Capri arc is a taste of what we can expect in 2026 as the soap leans into the beauty of the fashion world and the influence these families have as creators and tastemakers. Get a look at the dresses on display in the video below:
