The Young and the Restless on CBS had a rollercoaster ride of a year with standout performances from Sharon Case, Michelle Stafford, and Michael Mealor. However, some narratives in the soap opera left fans desiring more. One such storyline involved the mental health plots of Connor Newman (Judah Mackey), Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). The simultaneous unfolding of these three storylines was a misstep, as it diluted the narrative focus, despite commendable performances of the actors. 

Another Y&R subplot that drew criticism was the rapid redemption of Claire Newman (Hayley Erin). Her transformation from a criminal to a saint was deemed too swift to be believable. The year also saw Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) chasing Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) in desperation, which was a subplot fans found hard to stomach. 

Young and Restless saw Kyle Abbott's (Michael Mealor) tantrum-filled, family-betraying storyline lacked the redemption arc fans expected. Despite his disruptive behavior, he was rewarded with a co-CEO position, which did not sit well with the audience. The year ended with the controversial plot of Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam Newman's (Mark Grossman) infidelity, which neither reunited the pair nor resolved their relationship with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope).
