Unexpected Virgin: Kyle's surprised when he finds out his girlfriend Lola is a virgin, since she's a gorgeous, funny, likable woman in her twenties, and she's not particularly religious or conservative. The idea of being the first person Lola's ever slept with makes him a bit uncomfortable and awkward for a few days, until Mariah explicitly calls him on how stupid this is.

Parents as People: Generally speaking, everyone in Genoa City loves their kids and wants to do right by them... but are also so screwed-up or so caught up in the latest drama that they're not always what you'd call "attentive" or "functional."

Hidden Heart of Gold
 The Young and the Restless / int_20c99f6e
comment
Hidden Heart of Gold: Hilary and her long-lost twin Amanda both have this, but in different ways. Hilary is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold (with a big emphasis on the "jerk" part), having moments of kindness and genuine decency hidden underneath a bitchy exterior and bad temper. Amanda, meanwhile, is usually perfectly polite and rarely antagonizes anyone, but can be a bit of an Ice Queen and has an off-puttingly serious demeanor. She's actually quite nice when you get to know her; it just takes some time before she'll let anyone get to know her.

A particularly romantic example between Devon and Hilary, after Hilary's helped her young protégé Shauna prepare for her high school prom. Afterwards, Hilary reveals to Devon that her prom night was a total nightmare, thanks to an Alpha Bitch going out of her way to make sure she wouldn't win prom queen (in a particularly cruel manner). So Devon sets up a private prom for just the two of them, complete with a tiara for Hilary.

May–December Romance: Victor has had quite a few relationships with women far younger than he is, i.e. Sharon, whom he considered like a daughter for years, and Sabrina, who was his daughter's college roommate. Entered kind of controversial territory, when Coleen, who was a sophomore in high school began a relationship with college student JT.

Only Sane Man
 The Young and the Restless / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: Generally, one per family or company. Traci Abbott is the "normal" one among her siblings, which may be thanks to the fact that she's a recurring character and isn't always in the center of Genoa City's latest insanity. Devon and Neil are often this, though they're both Not So Above It All from time to time. Mariah is this among her coworkers at GC Buzz, especially when Devon isn't around, and oftentimes to Nick, Sharon, and Tessa as well. (Yes, the girl who was introduced gaslighting Sharon by pretending to be a ghost and grew up in a cult is now the resident sane person at her place of work.) Faith Newman is showing signs of becoming this, as well. Which is a bit worrying, since she's twelve. Mattie and Charlie Ashby are generally the most well-adjusted and normal of all the teens and young adults in Genoa City. Most of their dumber choices or worse moments stem simply from them being teenagers reacting exactly how you'd expect them to when put under pressure.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
 The Young and the Restless / int_2764d432
comment
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Quite a few have popped up over the years, but Graham Bloodworth stands out. While he at first came off as a devoted, caring assistant and guardian to Dina, he gradually revealed himself to be a nasty piece of work who was out to not only get his hands on Dina's money, but utterly destroy her. And he does this all by isolating her from her estranged-but-concerned children and exploiting her Alzheimer's, to boot! Fenmore Baldwin, he likes to act as though he's a good guy in public, while also assisting Summer in her Cyberbullying, continuing long after Summer stopped, and drugging his "friends" at a party just for the fun of it, without their consent or knowledge. Tessa is this trope with a heart. She's far more willing to lie, cheat, and steal than her nice girl exterior would suggest, but she's not a horrible person; just way too used to doing what she has to in order to survive. Her relationship with Mariah helps her improve. Mostly. Everything Theo does is to get under Kyle's skin and undermine his authority at Jabot, at the same time sucking up to his new rich Uncle, Aunts and Grandmother, while also whipping out the puppy dog eyes to try and make himself look like a bullied victim to Kyle's Wife/Ex-Wife Lola.

Defrosting Ice Queen
 The Young and the Restless / int_28c1d543
comment
Defrosting Ice Queen: When Amanda arrived in Genoa City, she was a serious, unsympathetic attorney, since she was there on business and everyone was accusing her of being a con artist. Not least because she looks just like the dead Hilary Curtis, which Amanda herself was surprised by — she didn't even know Hilary existed — but no one believed her at first. Once people realized she was telling the truth and was honestly just doing her job, not involved in any shady dealings at all, people began treating her nicer, and Amanda subsequently revealed a friendlier, compassionate woman with a past that made her very used to being alone.

Perp Sweating: In an episode in late January 2023, Jack stole a necklace from Nikki's Chicago apartment so that Diane could use it to frame convicted criminal Jeremy Stark for robbery. Chance, a cop from the Genoa City Police Department, suspects Jeremy's actually innocent of that particular crime. In one visit to Jack's house in an early February 2023 episode, Chance ominously announces he's making a delivery to Jack on behalf of the Chicago Police Department. Jack is obviously worried but keeps his cool. Chance returns to Jack a briefcase with a large sum of money that Jack had given to Jeremy. That was the official purpose of the visit, but it's clear that Chance suspects something is off and is trying to trip Jack up.

Coleen being the one to wordlessly push in the fact that Victor shouldn't take anything for granted, as his life was rescued at the cost of a young girl, which Victor promises her, he will never forget that her heart gave him a second chance.

Shipper on Deck: Kyle starts shipping Mariah/Tessa within minutes of seeing them together, even though he was initially interested in Tessa. He starts acting as Mariah's wingman... whether Mariah wants it or not. He's also quick to tell her she's being an idiot for not making a move. Later, he and Mariah joke that he could start a matchmaking service for lesbians. On the flipside, Mariah and Tessa (especially the former) are pulling for Lola/Kyle, and quickly befriend her. They mostly love her for not being Summer.

Don't You Dare Pity Me!

Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Tessa can't stand being pitied, and reacts poorly when her new boss Nikki offers her a place to stay. (Nikki having figured out Tessa's living in her car.) Nikki convinces her to accept her help when she explains that she used to be poor, too — she's not helping because she pities Tessa, she's helping because she remembers how hard it is, and she admires Tessa's tenacity. Elena is like this, too. As she puts it to Devon, "I really hate when I get the, 'Oh, you poor thing' look. Even though I know they mean well, I just want to punch them in the face." Devon, who recently lost his wife and his father, fully sympathizes.

Warts and All: Nikki is fully aware of Victor's many, many flaws, and often calls him out — but no matter how many times they break it off, it's clear she loves him in spite of it all. Mariah eventually reaches this conclusion about Tessa. Yes, Tessa's a liar, a grifter, and a con woman — but she and Mariah love each other, so they're gonna make it work, come hell or highwater.

Then Let Me Be Evil
 The Young and the Restless / int_3d455888
comment
Then Let Me Be Evil: Adam Wilson has ended up invoking this trope. It's hard to escape the fact that, before he came to Genoa City, Adam was relatively moral and well-adjusted. It was only after prolonged exposure to the chronic backstabbing and underhanded business dealings of the city that he started his horrific revenge plan — and at the end of that, he lapses into a My God, What Have I Done? moment and tries to reform. Then even this is completely undercut when the Newmans and Abbotts confront him in the cabin and treat him like a monster, even though they don't have any idea what he did — plus how hollow their moral superiority sounds, considering all the crimes they've committed in the past, which Adam and later DA Owen Pomerantz call them out on.

Took a Level in Kindness
 The Young and the Restless / int_3dcc914f
comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Many shady or even villainous characters became nicer later on. Mariah entered the series as a con woman who was helping Victor gaslight Sharon. Thanks to her mother's love, however, she was reformed into a kindhearted, if strong-willed and sarcastic young lady. Abby was rather vapid and spoiled at first, but grew up and became much nicer, and gained several levels in intelligence while she was at it. Kyle zig-zags between how much of a dick he's being, but he's relaxed and become much more approachable in recent years. Phyllis went from being a villain to being an Anti-Hero with a definite edge; not exactly a good person, but often at least trying to be.

Foster Kid
 The Young and the Restless / int_452f33ea
comment
Foster Kid: Devon was this for a time, before Neil formally adopted him. Shauna isn't literally in foster care, but for all intents and purposes, she's this, since her biological family isn't really in the picture. Hilary eventually takes her in when she finds out Shauna's been sneaking into Charlie's house just to have a place to sleep. Amanda was bounced around the foster care system her entire childhood, and didn't have any idea who her parents were until she was well into adulthood.

Worthy Opponent: Victor and Jack have plenty of other business rivals, but none get quite the same grudging respect they give to each other. (And thanks to the various marriages between the two families, they're stuck dealing with each other forever, and they both know it.)

Informed Attractiveness

comment
Informed Attractiveness: Yeah Brad, as played by Don Diamont, was incredible handsome, but the way people would often talk about him, like he was the hottest guy in Genoia City, which he kind of was, you'd think he was Adonis reincarnated. Likewise Sharon Newman, especially in the earlier seasons was talked up like she was the hottest girl at GCU. Yes Sharon Case is one of the most beautiful women in daytime history, but her friends Amy and Grace were quite good looking as well. Before Sharon there was Christine "Cricket" Blair, who got a job at Jabot as one of their biggest models, and caught the attentions of rockstar Daniel Romalanti with her beauty. Again Lauralee Bell is undeniably gorgeous, but the fact that she was the daughter of creator William Bell, it feels like he wanted to pump up his little girls ego just a bit.

Shipping Torpedo: Nikki does not approve of Sharon/Nick, considering the former to be a Gold Digger. She's not too fond of Phyllis, either. Sharon doesn't want Mariah to date Tessa, since Tessa's a Consummate Liar. To her credit, she does eventually accept that Mariah's an adult and it's not her business. Lola doesn't want either of her brothers dating Mia, because Mia's, well... Mia. Absolutely no one was on board with Sharon/Victor, or Summer/Billy. Mariah, Abby, Phyllis, and Nick are all very much against Summer/Kyle. Kyle is against Lola/Theo, even after he dumps Lola for Summer. On the flipside, Theo was always against Kyle/Lola — at first because he thought Kyle settling down would mean he would be no fun anymore, and then because he began to have feelings for Lola himself.

Polar Opposite Twins
 The Young and the Restless / int_4dd46feb
comment
Polar Opposite Twins: The Ashby twins. Mattie is nerdy, snarky, and is generally unconcerned with her social life. Charlie is popular, charming, and a romantic at heart. Despite this, the twins are close and generally get along. Even more so, Cassie Newman and Mariah Copeland, the identical twin daughters of Sharon Newman. Cassie was sweet, kind and wise beyond her years, and while Mariah is undeniably a good person, she can be reckless, snappy and a bit curt and rude. Sadly the two never got a chance to meet due to Cassie dying years before Sharon and Nick even knew Mariah existed. Hilary Curtis and Amanda Sinclair, as with Cassie and Mariah, they had no idea of each other growing up, and had very dissimilar personalities. Hilary was a haughty, shallow diva with a hidden heart of gold, whereas Amanda is much more level-headed and reserved.

Wise Beyond Their Years: Once she got old enough to actively participate in the plot, Faith Newman has been shown to be an intelligent, polite, compassionate young lady who tries to deal with all the drama around her. While she does have her moments of immaturity or temper (she is still a child, after all), she's miles more mature than at least half the adults. Occasionally including her parents.

Love Father, Love Son: Sharon's primary love interest is Nick, but she was briefly involved with his father, Victor. The fandom hated this storyline so much it was quickly dropped. She's also had a romantic interest in Victor's other son, Adam. Hilary had relationships with both Neil and his son Devon. Sometimes overlapping. However, Devon was the true love of her life.

At Least I Admit It: Sharon is a non-villainous example, because while she’s made her fair share of mistakes Sharon for the most part owns up to her actions. However, Sharon will absolutely not tolerate being called out on her bad behavior by people who have committed similar (or sometimes worse) actions than her. It’s a guarantee that if someone (such as Nikki) ever confronts Sharon about something bad she has done, Sharon will retort with a laundry list of everything bad the other person has done and call them a hypocrite for condemning her.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit
 The Young and the Restless / int_567e7c4d
comment
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Phyllis, who utterly hates Diane and wants to get rid of her, lures Diane into a room by claiming Diane's son Kyle is sick, and, once they're alone, starts attacking her, baiting Diane to retaliate... which leads to Kyle, Summer, and Jack to burst in just as Diane has her hands around Phyllis' neck, allowing Phyllis to claim she was trying to make peace with Diane, who then attacked her for no reason. This gets a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, however; Phyllis has been acting so vindictively and irrationally as of late, that everyone quickly realizes something stinks. Once they're able to find Kyle's conveniently-missing phone, which shows Diane has been texting him asking if he's okay, corroborating her story, they guess Phyllis set the whole thing up. Not even Phyllis' daughter Summer, who has tried to be sympathetic to Phyllis in her feud with Diane, believes her.

Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Katherine and Jill, one of the most famous rivalries in not just daytime, but television in general, usually over the ownership of the Chancellor Mansion. From the two playing nasty practical jokes on one another, to a time when Jill had to literally be tied up and locked in a closet to prevent her from ruining Katherine's wedding and for a while a time when it was believed that Jill was Katherine's daughter, the hijinks, and sometimes serious and violent scuffles between the two remained one of the most prominent plots on the soap for nearly 30 years, only ended by the death of Jeannie Cooper. Cane and Billy. Even when they find themselves on the same side expect a lot of snark and bickering between the two. Arguably Jack and Victor's decades long feud has settled into this in recent years. They will still happily hurl insults to each other, but both are very willing to drop into Sincerity Mode and listen when the other confides in them about a more important issue than their usual squabbles.

comment
Shauna is a cute, likable girl who has damn good reason to be troubled, coming from a tempestuous family background and living in a low-income neighborhood. Things improve when Hilary starts mentoring her and Charlie takes a romantic interest in her... but then Hilary dies. And it's partially Charlie's mom's fault. Thankfully, Shauna and Charlie seem determined to work things out, and Hilary's husband Devon continues to take care of her, but poor Shauna is emotionally fragile because of what happened — especially since she thinks the whole thing is her fault.

Twin Telepathy: Discussed by Mattie and Charlie — while they're not literally psychic, they're both extremely in-tune with what the other is thinking and feeling, and can usually tell when the other needs someone to talk to, which is doubly impressive since they're so different.

Dance of Romance: Several, over the decades. Every wedding has at least one between the newlyweds. A particularly romantic example between Devon and Hilary, after Hilary's helped her young protégé Shauna prepare for her high school prom. Afterwards, Hilary reveals to Devon that her prom night was a total nightmare, thanks to an Alpha Bitch going out of her way to make sure she wouldn't win prom queen (in a particularly cruel manner). So Devon sets up a private prom for just the two of them, complete with a tiara for Hilary.

Divorce Is Temporary: Oh, come on, it's a soap. How many times have couples — mostly Victor/Nikki and Nick/Sharon — divorced and then reunited?

She tells them that she wants them to be happy, but all this back-and-forth has been seriously rough on her.

Coming-Out Story: Mariah has a rather understated one. She has yet to give a big "coming out" speech, but did have a rather emotional exchange with Sharon, tearfully revealing that she has feelings for a woman. Sharon immediately accepts it, and says she's happy for Mariah, trying to comfort her. However, it's not the gender of her crush that's causing Mariah anguish. It's which woman it is: Tessa, who was, at the time, dating Mariah's brother. Mariah also drunkenly revealed she's into women to Nikki, Phyllis, and Victoria, who are a little surprised, but accepting. In every other instance, Mariah's been refreshingly nonchalant about her sexuality, casually mentioning it in conversation with friends.

Aloof Big Brother / Aloof Big Sister: Neither Victoria or Nick wanted anything to do with Christian/Adam after he was born, and treated him with disdain from the moment they met him after he grew up. Downplayed in regards to Summer and Faith. One of Summer's very few redeeming qualities, is that she does love Faith and wants to be there for her and support her, she's just too busy being wrapped up in her self to pay any heed to her little sister's problems like Noah or Mariah does.

Gaslighting: Cane did this to Shauna to keep her from coming forward that Lily caused the accident that killed Hillary, outright stating that if she did tell the truth, all she would be doing is hurting everyone all the more. When she finally does speak up, Cane quickly blames her for the fact that Lily is now going to prison, though even Lily defends her stating Shauna didn't do anything wrong by tell the truth, that Cane tried to bury. The incident is enough that Lily finally calls it quits on Cane, divorcing him, and he being so ostracized by the community moves back to Australia.

Put on a Bus: Numerous characters. Most recently, Ashley, Heather, Sophia, and Ronan. Generally, it's tradition to do a steady houseclean of the cast whenever a new regime moves in.

The Unfavorite: Abby often feels like this, at least in regards to Victor. She's often Locked Out of the Loop where her half-siblings are kept in, and she can't help but resent that Adam, who literally attempted to murder Victor, is still favored over her. One thing that made her fall victim to Zach so easily was that he voiced the opinion that Abby would always be an outsider to the Newmans, and that no matter what she did, she'd always come in second to Victoria and Nick. He wasn't exactly wrong. Traci Abbott often felt this way, since Dina favored Jack and John favored Ashley. Her parents love her, but she was often overlooked or forgotten about. However, she doesn't resent her siblings for it.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 The Young and the Restless / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Averted. Genoa City is in the state of Wisconsin, which means legal documents, e.g. divorce papers have the state seal visible. The show's main setting – Genoa City, Wisconsin – shares the same name with a Real Life village in southeastern Wisconsin, but the unrelated, fictionalized city seen in the show is depicted closer in size to Chicago (located 70 miles south-southeast of the real Genoa City) than the real town. Creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell named the fictional town Genoa City, as it was located on their way from their then-home in Chicago to their summer vacation home in Lake Geneva.

comment
Wrong Side of the Tracks: Nikki Newman (nee Reed) came from a bad part of town and worked as a stripper for awhile until she caught Victor's eye. Sharon also. It took a long time for Nikki to stop suspecting that she was a Gold Digger because of her lesser financial status, and even then, she still never felt that Sharon was good enough for Nick. The Rosales siblings. All three are mostly good, law-abiding citizens (hell, Rey became a By-the-Book Cop), in spite of their working-class background.

Video Inside, Film Outside: The very first scene of the March 26, 1973 debut episode was on film, with visibly injured hitchhiker Brad Elliot riding shotgun in a semi truck cab, while the driver tells him that he's stopping in Genoa City, and Brad decides that's where he'll get off. But well-averted after that, with lavish video location shoots being one of the show's later trademarks.

Bouquet Toss: A few over the years, but the one in 2019 when Kyle and Lola got married was particularly memorable. Lola tosses it and Abby catches it... and promptly throws it as far away from her as she can. It's tossed between Abby, Summer, and Sharon, before finally landing in Mariah's arms. Mariah glances at Tessa, shrugs happily, and the two share a kiss.

Asshole Victim
 The Young and the Restless / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Deconstructed in the plotline involving JT's death due to the cover-up that ensues. While Nikki killed him in self-defense to protect Victoria from his abusive behavior, they still need to cover up his death so Nikki doesn't get charged with murder. The fact that JT was abusive to Victoria doesn't change the fact that Nikki committed murder. The two of them, Phyllis, and Sharon are all involved in covering up his death and hiding his body, which results in the other three becoming accessories to murder. In the months after JT's death, the four of them have become paranoid and fearful of the truth being exposed. Before that Diane Jenkins, who had pissed off so many people off, through blackmail, extortion and threats, that up to eight people had credible reasons to be suspects in her murder, which she hid evidence before hand to point the police to all of them for her murder. Ironically it wasn't any of the suspects, but Nikki who had was believed to have killed her in self-defense when Diane attacked her. In reality Deacon Sharpe killed Diane.

Betty and Veronica
 The Young and the Restless / int_94e4c8ab
comment
Betty and Veronica: Nick Newman (Archie), and his ex-wives Phyllis (a red-haired Veronica) and Sharon (Betty) have been doing this for the past few years. Kyle Abbott (Archie) is currently caught between his ex-girlfriend Summer (the manipulative, Alpha Bitch Veronica), and his new girlfriend Lola (the hardworking, Deadpan Snarker Betty). Played with when it comes to Rey (Archie), Sharon (Betty), and Mia (Veronica). Sharon is a good-natured Nice Girl, while Mia is The Vamp, and cheated on Rey with his own brother. But Mia is his wife, while Sharon is not, and she does sincerely love Rey — say what you will about her, but she's sincerely trying to repair her marriage. And then it's turned on its head even further when it becomes apparent that Mia still has a thing for Rey's brother and is possibly kind of crazy... and then Rey finds out Sharon was involved in the cover-up of J.T.'s murder. (J.T. totally had it coming, but still.) And he found out right after he told Sharon he loved her. Dude cannot catch a break. Nick is the Betty to Adam's Veronica for Sharon's Archie. Adam genuinely loved Sharon, but boy had issues, to put it mildly.

Never My Fault
 The Young and the Restless / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: Devon Hamilton pretty much lives by this trope. He is the first to call people out on their moral transgressions, but will quickly shift blame when his own is questioned. When his partner Amanda and Abby's husband Chance catch him and Abby having sex, his initial reaction is to complain that Amanda came home early! Cane can always find excuses for his behavior, be it blaming Billy for the financial problems with Brash and Sassy, after Cane intentionally released damaging footage of Billy to sabotage him. He also blames Victoria for firing him for false accusations against him, not once mentioning any of his transgression in an attempt to seize control of a company Victoria had started herself. Most horrible, after covering up the fact that Lily caused the accident that killed both Hillary and she Devon's unborn child from everyone, including an enraged and upset Lily, he ends up trying to pin the entire incident on the now deceased Hillary, and outright manipulated her young protege Shauna, into to keeping quiet, later blaming her, for speaking up and telling the truth, for all of his families problems. Summer is like this, too. No matter how god-awful she is to Kyle (and everyone else), she never seems to get it through her head that her crappy behavior might be the reason people are a touch cold to her. Mia acts like she's completely blameless in her feud with Abby, despite the fact that Abby's mostly just reacting to Mia blatantly having the hots for her boyfriend. Granted, Abby does sometimes take it too far with her insults, but nothing excuses Mia's own behavior — like, for instance, attacking who she thought what was Abby (actually Lola in Abby's coat) and leaving her to die.

 The Young and the Restless / int_98d3f973

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: Though it was only implied, there remains a chance that several of the primary cast may not have been fathered by who they think they were. Nikki was a stripper when she began to pursue Victor, and it was implied that she might have already been pregnant with the baby that would become Victoria before conning him into thinking he was the father. Billy Abbott, however, may actually be Victor's son, from a short-lived affair Victor and Jill had when she was seperated from John.

One True Love

One True Love: Many characters are presented like this. Victor and Nikki Newman, who while both have been married to other people, Victor being widowed twice by both Hope and Sabrina, both of whom he loved immensely and misses deeply, and often get into dramatic fights, at the end of the day they are one of the biggest love stories in daytime for a reason. Likewise Nick and Sharon have a tendency to find their way back to each other, only to be torn apart again, even though the two have had hot and heavy romances with other people, particularly Phyllis and Adam respectively, Nick has outright stated Sharon will be the love of his life, even when he was back with Phyllis at the time. Neil and Drucilla, to the point that Neil never really got over Dru's death, with Sharon and Nikki while comforting Lily at Neil's funeral that Dru was probably waiting to welcome Neil with open arms. JT and Colleen. Like Neil, JT never got over Coleen's death, which some people believe, (along with his brain tumor) led to him turning into the Emotional and Abusive asshole towards Mack and Victoria, instead of the roguish but good hearted man that loved Coleen.

Sibling Triangle
 The Young and the Restless / int_a09f3a65
comment
Sibling Triangle: Mariah/Tessa/Noah. Mariah won after Tessa and Noah broke up for mostly-unrelated reasons, and Noah accepted it relatively quickly. Rey/Mia/Arturo. This is a bit messier. Arturo and Mia dated in high school. Rey had a crush on Mia even back then, but he'd never make a move on his brother's girlfriend, so he kept his mouth shut. Eventually, Arturo and Mia broke up, and some time after that (it's not specified how long), Mia and Rey met again, and wound up getting married. Then, due to some marital issues, Mia and Arturo had an affair. Rey found out, and the fall-out was ugly. Arturo said Screw This, I'm Outta Here and left Miami for GC. Rey wound up there for work (and he and Arturo were as thrilled by this as you can imagine), and Mia eventually followed Rey there to try and fix the marriage. After some bumps, Rey and Mia officially decided to try again, and even renewed their vows... but Mia is blatantly jealous of Arturo's new girlfriend Abby, flirts with Arturo when they're alone, and even calls out Arturo's name during sex with Rey. (She also attacks Lola thinking she's Abby, so that's there.) Mia still posits that Rey is the true love of her life, but no one's really buying it at this point. Nick/Sharon/Adam. Made even more complicated by the fact that Sharon brought out the best in Adam, while Adam seemed to bring out the worst in her.

Mia, for Arturo, even though she's married to Rey. She picks fights with Arturo's girlfriend Abby at every opportunity, has some rather... worrying fantasies about attacking her, and even put Arturo's sister Lola into a coma, thinking she was Abby. Granted, when she realized she attacked Lola and not Abby, Mia felt terrible, but the fact still remains that Mia was perfectly willing to attack Abby, knock her out, and leave her for dead in the snow.

Polyamory: Victor and Nikki agreed to an open marriage for a time, and it actually seemed to work for them. However, they eventually mutually agreed to "close" their marriage again. Nikki's boyfriend, Arturo, stuck around... and began dating Nikki's stepdaughter, Abby. (In Arturo's defense, he didn't realize they were related when he first met Abby. Needless to say, when everyone found out, it was awkward.)

Paul and Michael is an exceptionally weird friendship, considering that years ago Michael sexually harassed Paul's wife Christine, tried to kill him, and is now married to Paul's ex Lauren (although they have been Amicable Exes for years). None of this seems to bother the four of them and are all best of friends.

Odd Friendship

Odd Friendship: Quite a few, but it's especially remarkable that Jack and Nikki are such close friends, given that Jack and Victor (Nikki's husband — usually) loathe each other. Despite this, Jack adores Nikki, and she often asks for his advice or confides in him. This extends to Nikki's son, Nick. Despite Jack being his former step-father (and having a couple of mutual ex wives), they are still very close friends. Paul and Michael is an exceptionally weird friendship, considering that years ago Michael sexually harassed Paul's wife Christine, tried to kill him, and is now married to Paul's ex Lauren (although they have been Amicable Exes for years). None of this seems to bother the four of them and are all best of friends. Lately, the melancholic and oftentimes selfish Cane has become rather good friends with Traci, of all people. This later leads to her developing a crush on him. The fiery, self-serving Phyllis has become close friends with Amanda, who's unfailingly polite and even-tempered. Making it even odder, Phyllis was also good friends with Amanda's long-lost twin Hilary.

Dramatic Half-Hour: Ran for a half hour from its debut in 1973 until February 1980. It was the last soap opera of the time to expand to an hour. It's sister show, The Bold and the Beautiful, premiered in 1987 and remains the only soap to still run in a half hour timeslot.

The go-to baby trapping method for many of Genoa City's women is simply to rob the local sperm bank and get yourself impregnated with sperm belonging to the man of your choice. Jack Abbott and Victor Newman were both targets of this. Diane later realized she'd used the wrong sample after giving birth to her child.

Deadpan Snarker: A number over the years, usually the nastier characters. Jack Abbott is a master at deadpan snark, usually directed at his arch enemy Victor or his brother-in-law Brad. Kyle, taking after dear old Dad. Mariah, mainly to cope with Hilary's constant crap. The Rosales siblings, Rey, Arturo, and Lola. Usually at each other, but Kyle is a favored target as well, even by Lola, who's dating him. (Hell, especially by Lola.)

Retool
 The Young and the Restless / int_b2283870
comment
Retool: The show is notable as one of the few soaps to completely retool and write out the bulk of its core families. According to The Other Wiki, this was the result of the show's expansion from 30 minutes to an hour in 1980. The expansion forced the producers to renegotiate contracts; when many actors chose to leave, the writers wrote out the remaining main characters from the Foster and Brooks families, except Jill Foster. They then refocused their attention on a new pair of main families, the Williams and the Abbots. The writers later added more families: the Newmans, the Winters and, more recently, the Fisher-Baldwin family.

Hot Guys Are Bastards: Matt Clarke. The dude was fine as hell, and knew it, and had all the girls drooling over him, except for his girlfriend Sharon, who after having had enough of his dickish behavior, ended up falling in love with her not just handsome but kind lab partner Nick Newman and broke up with Matt. Figuring since he is the hottest guy at GCU, he deserves the hottest girl, and comes under the belief the only reason Nick could win Sharon's affections was because he was rich, Matt makes it his personal mission to break them up. When that proves fruitless, he rapes Sharon out of vengeance, and later also rapes Sharon and Nick's friend Amy, who had a crush on Matt, and later fakes his death leaving evidence implicating Nick for his murder.

Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: Victor and Jack both qualify, but are capable of being flat out Jerkass as well. Hilary Curtis has slowly evolved into this. She's a pretty big bitch, but she genuinely cares about Devon and Shauna, and occasionally even Mariah. Kyle is an annoying prick, but he's genuinely loyal to those he considers friends, and at the end of the day, he just wants his dad's approval. Like father, like son, it seems. Arturo, Rey, and Lola are all rough around the edges and snipe at each other constantly, but they're all decent people deep down.

Ambiguously Bi: Mariah Copeland. She's explicitly in love with Tessa, but prior to that, she only ever dated men. She admits her attraction to Tessa is the strongest she's ever felt, and she seems to be trying to force herself to be into her boyfriend, hinting that she's a lesbian. However, she tells Kevin she likes hot men as well as hot women, so she could be bisexual. Time will tell. Tessa herself, in the opposite direction. She's definitely into men, but her subtext with Mariah is undeniable. Mariah herself is convinced Tessa is straight, but Kyle thinks Tessa reciprocates Mariah's feelings. Kyle's right. Tessa is indeed bisexual, though Mariah's orientation still up for debate.

Sharon technically did this to Nick even though they were actually very Happily Married. But she's insecure about the relationship (his mother Nikki dislikes her) and figures this is the best way to hang onto him. It pays off, as her mother-in-law finally warms up to her once news of the pregnancy gets out.

Calling Parents by Their Name
 The Young and the Restless / int_bfc84d44
comment
Calling Parents by Their Name: Devon usually calls his adoptive father Neil by his first name, though he has no issue referring to Neil has his father. Mariah never met her mother Sharon until she was an adult, and took awhile to really view her as her parent. Even now, while Mariah will refer to her as "my mom" when talking to other characters, she usually calls her "Sharon" when talking to her, though she does occasionally say "Mom" instead. In one Christmas episode, Sharon is pleasantly surprised when Mariah gets her an ornament that says "Mom" on it, since Mariah doesn't usually call her that. Ana calls her father Jett by his first name — again, because she didn't know him until she was an adult.

Both Sides Have a Point
 The Young and the Restless / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Pretty much any conflict involving Adam will have shades of this. Adam's right that Nick and Victoria were distrustful of him long before he actually did anything wrong, and that he had a rough time growing up. However, they are not wrong when they point out that, especially after the Delia storyline, Adam has committed several acts that can't be excused because of a poor childhood, and that people (especially Sharon, Chelsea, and Victor) have given him countless chances to redeem himself, only for him to slide back into his old patterns every time, and that he repeatedly refuses to take responsibility for his own issues. Similarly, while his running over of Delia was an honest accident and he felt terrible when he realized what he'd done, many characters acknowledge that Billy and Chloe are well within their rights to hate Adam because, accident or not, he did kill their young daughter. On that note, Chloe and Chelsea's differing views on Adam. Chelsea's right that constantly criticizing your best friend's partner (who is also the father of her son) and making it known how much you hate him just isn't a very nice thing to do to your friend. Chloe's right that your best friend choosing to stay with the man who killed your daughter is one hell of a bitter pill to swallow.

Through His Stomach: A cute variation with Lola and Kyle's first meeting. After arguing over how to correctly prepare a certain kind of sandwich, Lola tells Kyle to try it her way, and if he doesn't like it, it's on the house. Kyle agrees, takes a bite... and promptly concedes that Lola was right. This is the first of many arguments/flirtations, until Lola finally just asks if he's going to ask her out or not.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male
 The Young and the Restless / int_c289826f
comment
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Juliet plys Cane with sake (and may have drugged him as well), getting him so drunk that he doesn't even remember what happened between them. Flashbacks have revealed that they did in fact have sex, and everyone, including Cane himself, views his behavior as him having cheated on his wife, rather than him having been taken advantage of. While it hasn't crossed the line into outright rape, it's difficult to imagine that Summer would be able to get away with her behavior towards Kyle if their genders were flipped. Imagine if a young man consistently made passes at his childhood friend, despite the fact that she's outright said she's not interested, and is in love with someone else. Now imagine the same young man repeatedly told his "friend" that she doesn't really love her current partner, and in fact has actually loved him all along (despite her protests to the contrary), and frequently shows up at his home and workplace unwanted and uninvited. For that matter, flip the genders in the Summer/Billy/Phyllis arc — a young man attempts to seduce his father's girlfriend, frequently cornering said girlfriend when they're alone and showing up in their office uninvited, despite said girlfriend making it clear she's not interested.

Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: The Winters/Abbotts have all made their peace with Kevin, and can even be cordial with him, given that he has since acted genuinely apologetic for his early evil deeds, and is now an upstanding member of the community, for the most part. That doesn't mean they won't ever let him forget what he almost did to both teenage Lily and Colleen. Victoria and Mac have both given JT their forgiveness for his former abusive ways, especially when it was discovered that his rage and violence was due to a brain tumor affecting his personality, which after it was surgically removed he returned to being the good man they had fallen in love with. Doesn't mean that either of his Ex-Wives ever want to be near him again.

 The Young and the Restless / int_cfc52d52
comment
Spoiled Brat: Victoria is sometimes accused of being this. While she did grow up in privilege and can be self-serving, Victoria is a genuinely hard worker and competent businesswoman, and very much does not want to coast through life on Daddy's money. Abby used to be this, as well as a Brainless Beauty, but grew out of both. Like her half-sister, she's a smart and savvy businesswoman, though she still has a temper. Summer is a fairly straight example. She does work, and is said to be good at what she does, but she was also spoiled rotten growing up, is extremely selfish and prone to throwing a fit when things don't go her way, and expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter. Phyllis lampshades this in one argument with Summer, sarcastically calling her "Princess Newman."

Troubled, but Cute
 The Young and the Restless / int_d22a7df2
comment
Troubled, but Cute: Sharon is usually the epitome of a Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold individual, very kind and compassionate to most everyone, but given that she has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, whenever she falls of her meds, or has a flare up, it causes her to make some very damaging decisions. Tessa is a very pretty, artistic young woman who catches Mariah's eye. She also comes from a rough background, will do whatever she thinks is necessary to survive, has difficulty understanding her own emotions, and can't trust or open up to people to save her life, all of which wreak havoc on her personal relationships. Shauna is a cute, likable girl who has damn good reason to be troubled, coming from a tempestuous family background and living in a low-income neighborhood. Things improve when Hilary starts mentoring her and Charlie takes a romantic interest in her... but then Hilary dies. And it's partially Charlie's mom's fault. Thankfully, Shauna and Charlie seem determined to work things out, and Hilary's husband Devon continues to take care of her, but poor Shauna is emotionally fragile because of what happened — especially since she thinks the whole thing is her fault. Reed Hellstrom is a tall, fun-loving musician who's quite handsome when he cleans himself up. He's also up to his waist in emotional baggage, especially where his father J.T. is concerned. Unfortunately for his relationship with Mattie, the "troubled" often outweighs the "cute." No matter who's playing him, Adam is very charming, very troubled, and very, very good-looking. His plethora of issues doesn't stop him from attracting female attention — just ask Sharon or Chelsea — but they do cause their fair share of drama.

Hypocrite: Michael Baldwin's condemnation of Sheila came off as this, when you consider that he'd been a Stalker with a Crush for Christine Blair and committed murder in order to cover his tracks. Sharon invokes this against the Newman women when they gather to confront her about her affair with Brad. When they turn their noses up at her, Sharon goes to each woman to remind them of their own shady actions and condemning them for judging her. When Sharon and Nick get back together for the upteenth time, Nikki asks what makes Sharon think it'll work this time — which, while a fair question, is a bit rich coming from the woman who's been on-off with Victor for over three decades at this point. Sharon awesomely calls her out on this. Arturo is quick to call Kyle a player, and ban the young man from staying by Lola's bedside, due to Lola having caught Summer making a move and kissing Kyle. Kyle is quick to point out that Arturo is just as bad, but Arturo won't hear it. In reality, Arturo is far worse, having had affairs with married women, including his own sister-in-law, and hiding said relationships from Abbey, whereas Lola had called things off with Kyle, and Summer was the one making moves on him, which he really didn't reciprocate. Nikki was awfully quick to judge Sharon and call her a Gold Digger, apparently forgetting that she herself was a down-on-her-luck stripper when she met Victor. Summer calls Kyle self-centered. Kyle certainly can be self-involved sometimes, but Summer is the absolute last person who can call someone else vain. Doubly so since she does this when volunteering to get a blood test to see if she can help Lola... and then ruins it by demanding Kyle thank her. Phyllis is often out to lambast Sharon for her parenting. Let's see Phyllis, Sharon's kids are all well, behaved, upstanding, kindhearted individuals, while Phyllis has Danny, a teenage alcoholic, porn addict that ran away from the law and eloped with his teenage girlfriend Lily Winters, after being involved in the situation that led to Cassie's death, and Summer, spoiled, selfish, cyberbully.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Mariah and Kyle settle into this eventually. As much as they snark at and insult each other, it's clear that they care for each other, and they want each other to be happy. Kyle goes to surprising lengths to help Mariah get Tessa, and Mariah outright admits he's one of the few people she trusts.

Kick the Morality Pet: Despite his general snarky and self-serving nature, Kyle is remarkably sweet to Dina, his grandmother. This is what makes it all the more heartbreaking when he attempts to shred a document from Jabot that's important to Dina, right in front of her. Kyle holds that what he did was necessary for the good of the company, but he clearly isn't proud of hurting Dina's feelings.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You
 The Young and the Restless / int_d8e0e9f7
comment
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Victor with Adam — Here, Adam's mother specifically asked Victor have no part in Adam's life, but charged Victor to take care of Adam on her deathbed. Not really sure why- it's a Soap Opera so her reasons for this were probably explained like, ten or twenty years ago. Same with Paul and Heather. He was asked to stay out of Heather's life completely at her mother's request. Played with by Naya, Amanda and Hilary's birth mother. She gave the girls up for adoption after getting pregnant out of wedlock so as not to wreck her father's political career, and claims her father forced her. She also seems remorseful later on, when she meets Amanda as an adult. Amanda is uncertain what to think, since Naya was an adult and could have kept her children if she wanted to, and she never once attempted to reach out or find out if they were okay even years later. Naya is also shown to be rather manipulative and selfish, meaning it's hard to tell how much of her story we can trust. But on the other hand, what we know of Naya's father indicates he really isn't a good guy, and might have even murdered Amanda and Hilary's father, meaning that there really might have been some abuse or threat of abuse going on that made Naya decide to give the girls up. Amanda seems to be of the opinion that while she doesn't trust her mother as far as she can throw her, her grandfather is the real problem.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here
 The Young and the Restless / int_d9cf40fa
comment
Rey/Mia/Arturo. This is a bit messier. Arturo and Mia dated in high school. Rey had a crush on Mia even back then, but he'd never make a move on his brother's girlfriend, so he kept his mouth shut. Eventually, Arturo and Mia broke up, and some time after that (it's not specified how long), Mia and Rey met again, and wound up getting married. Then, due to some marital issues, Mia and Arturo had an affair. Rey found out, and the fall-out was ugly. Arturo said Screw This, I'm Outta Here and left Miami for GC. Rey wound up there for work (and he and Arturo were as thrilled by this as you can imagine), and Mia eventually followed Rey there to try and fix the marriage. After some bumps, Rey and Mia officially decided to try again, and even renewed their vows... but Mia is blatantly jealous of Arturo's new girlfriend Abby, flirts with Arturo when they're alone, and even calls out Arturo's name during sex with Rey. (She also attacks Lola thinking she's Abby, so that's there.) Mia still posits that Rey is the true love of her life, but no one's really buying it at this point.

The Baby Trap
 The Young and the Restless / int_da9131af
comment
The Baby Trap: Sharon technically did this to Nick even though they were actually very Happily Married. But she's insecure about the relationship (his mother Nikki dislikes her) and figures this is the best way to hang onto him. It pays off, as her mother-in-law finally warms up to her once news of the pregnancy gets out. The go-to baby trapping method for many of Genoa City's women is simply to rob the local sperm bank and get yourself impregnated with sperm belonging to the man of your choice. Jack Abbott and Victor Newman were both targets of this. Diane later realized she'd used the wrong sample after giving birth to her child.

One particularly hilarious scene in 2017 had Sharon and Abby get into a catfight in the middle of a crowded restaurant.

Write Who You Know: In-Universe, Traci often bases her characters loosely off of her friends. For example, Flynn, a private eye hired by his ex-wife that he's still in love with, is inspired by Cane and his relationship with Lily. (When she admits this to Cane, he's fortunately very flattered, and jokes that he should ask Flynn for advice, since he clearly has it together better than Cane himself does.)

Morality Pet: Victor is... flawed. To say the least. But he genuinely loves and is protective of his children, and absolutely dotes on his grandchildren. Even when he and Nick are on the outs, Nick still lets Victor see his grandkids as often as he likes, precisely because Victor is genuinely a pretty good grandfather. Kyle is normally a Jerkass, but he has a great relationship with his grandmother Dina, and is happy to take care of her while she copes with her Alzheimer's. He's also a genuinely good friend to Mariah and is infatuated with Lola. Katherine could be difficult (to put it mildly), but she really did care about Nikki, and was friends with her until the end. Lola might be this to Theo. While Theo is certainly manipulative and self-centered, and prone to being a jackass, he seems to genuinely like her, and can usually be counted on to be nicer to her than he is to literally anyone else.

Hate Sink: As stated below there has been no character on the show as despised and despicable as Matt Clarke. Whereas characters like Sheila, Victor, Kevin, Phyllis and Chloe became beloved for how evil they were, in that the latter four eventually were somewhat redeemed to becoming hero's/anti-hero's, Matt Clarke was written to be and remained human garbage up until his final action on the show. Planting the idea while on his death bed to Nick, that he had raped Sharon and that he not Nick was the father of Sharon's baby, leading to Nick's paranoia around his wife and taking drastic actions to prove if Matt was lying, which Matt was and Nick was indeed the father, but the cost being Sharon miscarrying the baby.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If Victor ever actually apologizes, shows humility, or asks for something politely, it's either really important to him, or he's up to something. Or both. In one notable example, when he was having health problems and was struggling to breathe while alone in a parking lot, his first call was Jack, since he knew he was nearby. Jack, expecting a continuation of their argument from earlier, answers with a snarky comment... when he hears Victor, obviously distressed, asking him to please come help him. Jack's whole demeanor instantly changes, and he calmly asks where Victor is, and promptly goes to help.

Cornered Rattlesnake: Sharon, especially when having a particularly bad bipolar episode, will behave extremely unpredictably and sometimes irrationally when she feels threatened. Burning down the Newman home was one of her more damaging reactions, and when she came back to her senses, she felt awful. Tessa will also lash out and attack when she's backed into a corner, though not violently. Mia, too, with the added bonus of her insecurity leading to her feeling threatened almost all the time. Her responses have ranged from sleeping with her husband's brother to straight-up attempting to murder Abby.

Abby often feels like this, at least in regards to Victor. She's often Locked Out of the Loop where her half-siblings are kept in, and she can't help but resent that Adam, who literally attempted to murder Victor, is still favored over her. One thing that made her fall victim to Zach so easily was that he voiced the opinion that Abby would always be an outsider to the Newmans, and that no matter what she did, she'd always come in second to Victoria and Nick. He wasn't exactly wrong.

Identical Stranger: The storyline that started in February 2015 with a winter storm hitting Genoa City also unveiled the existence of Marco Annicelli, a Peruvian drug lord sprung free by Victor in his plot to take over Jabot Cosmetics from Jack (both Jack and Marco were played by Peter Bergmann), which led to Jack being kidnapped on the day of his wedding to Phyllis and held captive on an island with the insane Kelly Andrews. However, the discovery of Marco's existence led to the deaths of Austin Travers note the husband of Victor's granddaughter Summer, Courtney Sloane note the Older Than She Looks cop then engaged to Victor's grandson Noah, who was supposed to marry her the day she was slain and a disgruntled Jabot employee who hinted at the secret... not by Marco, but by Mark Harding, a Genoa City P.D. detective who was involved with Marco's plot. Subverted with Mariah and Cassie. Victor initially hired Mariah to portray Cassie to lead Sharon into a fit of bipolar madness, unaware to him and everyone else, including Mariah, that the reason Mariah looks so much like his granddaughter was because she is Cassie's long lost twin. Amanda Sinclair, Chance's estate lawyer looks exactly like Devon's deceased wife Hillary Curtis, something that astounds everyone, even Amanda. Subverted later on, when it turns out they were twins who were separated at birth.

Fairytale Wedding Dress: An awful lot over the decades. Most iconic is the dress for Nikki's first wedding.

Evil Twin
 The Young and the Restless / int_f2dadf81
comment
Evil Twin: A number of these have popped up over the years. Katherine, Phyllis and Lauren have all been bedeviled by evil doubles at some point. Most recently, Jack Abbot was kidnapped by Victor and replaced with a Peruvian drug lord named Marco Anicelli. Subverted by Mariah, Cassie's long-lost twin. While Cassie was a sweet and good-natured young girl, Mariah is introduced as a self-serving liar and con artist. However, thanks in no small part to Sharon's love, Mariah was genuinely reformed and became one of the more morally upright members of the cast.

Easily Forgiven
 The Young and the Restless / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: Played with. Characters will get angry with each other, and stay angry, sometimes for months or even years... but eventually, inevitably, they will be on speaking terms again. A consistent character trait for Victor is that, while he'll fight with them plenty, he will ultimately forgive his children of anything, up to and including trying to murder him in the case of Adam.

Unkempt Beauty: Amelia Heinle's Victoria. For a lovely, wealthy businesswoman, she often has messy hair and little makeup, but in a way that's obviously very deliberate on the part of the producers.

Magic Plastic Surgery
 The Young and the Restless / int_f4bec3d
comment
Magic Plastic Surgery: Sheila gets plastic surgery to look like Phyllis, explaining her actor change to the same as Phyllis. And the evil Matt Carter gets plastic surgery so that he can return to Genoa City (where he was still wanted for rape charges) and ingratiate himself into the lives of the unknowing Sharon (his victim) and Nick and start wreaking havoc. There's also Adam Newman, who had plastic surgery to look like the businessman who died saving him after a car crash, allowing him to avoid facing jail time for the accidental hit-and-run death of Billy Abbott and Victoria Newman's daughter Delia as he assumed the aforementioned Gabriel Bingham's identity. Like the example mentioned first, this was also done to explain the change in actors.

The Cracker: Kevin's specialty is computer hacking, and he is really good at it. Phyllis also has proficiency with computers, and sometimes utilizes it for fun and profit against her enemies.

Sharon also. It took a long time for Nikki to stop suspecting that she was a Gold Digger because of her lesser financial status, and even then, she still never felt that Sharon was good enough for Nick.

Bruiser with a Soft Center: Nick Newman is generally a nice guy (at least, he usually has his heart in the right place), but he will not hesitate to throw down. And he is good at it.

comment
Beleaguered Assistant: Ted, a Recurring Extra at Jabot. If any random low-level worker is going to walk into the middle of an absolute shitshow, it's going to be him. He mostly takes it in stride. Mariah was this to Hilary for a time, dealing with Hilary's Control Freak antics with a lot of sarcasm.

Idiot Houdini: Ashley Abbott. If she makes an extremely poor decision gets involved in other people's plans, things go to hell for them while Ashley trots off with barely any punishment.

Lady Drunk
 The Young and the Restless / int_fdb3b2b5
comment
Lady Drunk: Kay, Nikki. It got worse over time to the point where a 2014 episode centered on her family staging an intervention (as told by Nikki to what was later revealed to be a rehab counselor, though made to look for most of the episode as an angel to make it look to viewers that she died of alcohol poisoning). Her becoming sober at that point led to Victor and Nikki's separation on the basis that Victor's constant deceit has caused her to keep falling off the wagon.

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold

comment
Sharon is usually the epitome of a Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold individual, very kind and compassionate to most everyone, but given that she has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, whenever she falls of her meds, or has a flare up, it causes her to make some very damaging decisions.
