The Y&R Brain Tumor Hall of Fame

Has anyone tested the drinking water in this town?!



The ‘brain tumor storyline’ has become one of the most common soap opera tropes. Time and time again, a character is diagnosed with a brain tumor, which creates a medical crisis and/or is used to explain their nutty behavior.


Can you think of Y&R characters (past or present) who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor? Feel free to include any of the story details you can remember. Can’t wait to have you “jog my memory”! 😛

Was Diane ( one of Victor’s ex- wives) did she have a brain tumor too or did was she murdered? Also about Victor’s epilepsy , can’t remember that but hope it doesn’t recur- I suffer from that don’t really need reminders , 🙂
Perhaps It is in the water or something their being feed, because theres lots of patience at Fairview as well.
Just an added thought.

Katherine had one. Cane was the only person she told at first. It was her very last storyline before she died. Also, lets continue this fun by listing how many look-alikes people have had for next week.
