In some disappointing news for The Young and the Restless fans, the daytime soap opera is taking a break from airing new episodes on Thursday, March 21, and Friday, March 22. While this mini hiatus means viewers have to wait a little longer to see what happens next for the Newmans, Abbotts and the rest of the Genoa City population, the good news is a new episode of The Young and the Restless airs on Monday, March 25. So what's the deal with this Thursday and Friday?
Every year in the US around this time, the country gets a bit crazy, or rather mad, as men's college basketball enters its infamous March Madness tournament. The 64 NCAA Division I teams fortunate enough to make it into the tourney start their first round of play on either March 21 or March 22 during the day on network TV, with CBS being the home to some games. Hence, why The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful are off the air.
