From DUIs to demon seeds, I’m taking you back in time to some crazy kid storylines that you will remember… and maybe a few that you have forgotten, including: Reed’s Holiday Hit-N-Run (2018); Summer is Y&R’s First Cyberbully (2012); Fen is a Creeper and a Tweaker (2013); Max Plots Abby’s Miscarriage… and Succeeds! (2016); Faith’s Wild Ride (2021); and Connor Imprisons Christian! (2019)

Thank you! The special episode was amazing!. You mentioned a special about the villains. Good idea. May I suggest an episode about the past storylines that had fans and viewers on the edge of their seat, screaming when each episode was over and we had to wait until tomorrow or next week.
Y&R’s Greatest Cliffhangers!!! Oohh. Toni, I LOVE that idea!!! What storylines would be included? Hmmm. I’ll have to brainstorm on this one. GREAT, GREAT idea. And, I’m so glad you enjoyed the pod. Thank YOU!!!
I talked a little bit in the flashback about Y&R was appearing to develop Summer into a Phyllis Jr. during the 2012 era. Do you enjoy the wild, Phyllis-like version of Summer? Or do you prefer seeing her as the anti-Phyllis?
Ali, I enjoyed the soap kids flashbacks, thank you for the work you put in to the episode! I really liked wild child Summer. She was more fun than Abby during the Naked Heiress days. Summer blasted into town in a stolen sports car! She went after her mother’s boyfriend Billy and blackmailed Kyle into marrying her if she donated a kidney(?) to Lola. Soapy fun. Summer was well on her way in becoming Phyllis Jr. Then she transformed into her mother’s keeper. I like Summer now but in retrospect Wild Child Summer was more fun!
Great point about Summer! Do all soap bad girls eventually turn into soap good girls? … and then maybe back into bad girls again, if they stick around long enough.
How many of you remembered Max Rayburn when listening to the flashback episode? When I think of screwy soap kids, he is TOP in my mind. Also, how many other ‘fell down the stairs and miscarried’ storylines can you remember?
The Connor of this flashback episode is the Connor I want to see today! Connor has become SOFT SOAP (and so has Adam, my opinion). Where is the grit, the complexity, the conflict, the drama? Mental health recovery is all fine and good for real life, but it’s dull entertainment. I say, bring back Christian, and give us the ‘brother vs. brother’ drama of the next generation!
Do you guys think Fen would be a good fit for the show today? I had forgotten much front-burner screen time he had back in 2012-2013. He was chat-worthy every day, and as I mentioned in the flashback podcast, he was part of the most exciting storylines of those years. None of the kids I included in this episode are even on the show right. Well, except for Connor. Long live the Con!
Look of these photos of Reed! Thinking back, Teen Reed, Charlie and Maddie may have been the last ‘Brat Pack’ we had on the show. Faith and Moses gave us some brief romance and drama, but they weren’t really a ‘group’. I don’t need to see teens every single day on Y&R, but I think it would be good for viewers to feel bonded to the younger characters… because today’s younger characters are tomorrow’s adults!
Remember Charlie and Maddie were unruly toddlers and preteens?! They were often shown running around at home with Cane snd Lily. The refrigerator had notes and drawings. Cane and Lily raised their family in what seemed like a normal household, no cooks or nanny help that I recall.

Ali, you’re a hoot! This was a lot of fun. I remember Max!!! And, I also remember another down the stairs miscarriage. Adam and Sabrina!
YESSS! Good one. Adam in a dress!
Listened to your soap kids pod this morning. Good job! I remember feeling bad for Abby and how much you use to not like her! lol
Maybe this story was the turning point for me! I’m glad you enjoyed the flashback. 🙂

Fen needs to return! He was definitely a screwy soap kid and a very cool young adult after drug rehab.
