The Young and the Restless/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternative Character Interpretation: This causes a lot of the broken bases in The Young and the Restless. Every character gets one. Is Victor a Magnificent Bastard/Noble Demon without whom the show would be nowhere, or is he a Villain Sue/Complete Monster whom the show would better off not having? Is Jack completely justified in constantly trying to regain his family, or is he a loser trying to hold on to something he really should abandon? Even minor characters can’t avoid this: Is Esther a really good friend to Katherine, her employer, or is Esther an annoying idiot, or both?
  • Broken Base: Almost everything and everyone on this show. The only things that are not base breakers are the fact that The Young and the Restless is a soap opera that they watch and that random background puppet at Crisom Lights is creepy.
