From what I read on the FB page for Paramount, for Y&R, they only retain the rights to episodes within the season that is currently airing. Once a new season starts, their rights change and all or some episodes will be removed. New season started yesterday, so that is why there is only 1 episode avail to watch.
I am trying to cut the cable and going to roku and I'm trying to figure out how to watch my soap operas and when I go to CBS and click on the episodes it gives me an error that something went wrong try back later. I need some help figuring this out before I cut direct off. Thank you
1. Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or all channels on your Roku device?
2. What is the exact error message when accessing the channel? Can you provide a screenshot of the issue you are experiencing?
3. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to try to resolve the issue? Have you removed the channel, restart the device the add the channel back? Note: Please make sure to restart your Roku device after removing the channel and before adding the channel back to ensure the process is successful.

Billy Abbott (Billy Miller) did what a parent should not do: he left his daughter Delia in the car when he went into a store to buy ice cream. She opened the door and chased her dog down the road when he hopped out. Then Adam (or perhaps it was Nikki, who was also out driving that night) came barreling down the road and hit her.
In the most famous example of a child being killed, little Laura, daughter of Brooke and Tom, was hit by a drunken driver on All My Children. This storyline at least was done with the cooperation of the real Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) and was a critical hit. It said something powerful about drunk drivers.
yep, i agree, Y&R need new writers, producers, etc. to kill a child to get ratings is not good, meanwhile, these other idiots such as Sharon, who needs a man keep going in and out of people lives to destroy. hopefully, Y&R bring Delia back some how, a dream which is what they always do would be the most rational thing to do.
Y&R have heard from the fans and should comply.
You are so right, the new writers need to hear us and make this right. Would be better if this was all a dream sequence. Then in time everyone learns from their mistakes and little Dee Dee is still with us.
I am a little behind on Y&R because I taped several episodes. I just saw the one from last week where Delia was hit. I have decided that if she is killed off, I am totally done with the soap I have been watching for at least 30 years. The storylines really suck lately
I have been a big fan of the young and restless for many years. I agree with bringing Delia back somehow, especially that she was so loved and mostly everyone that she knew. It was one thing with Catherine, because she really did pass away, so sad to say. Lets see what happens. Hopefully it keeps the ratings up without getting rid of the youngsters. This soap opera has been one of the longest running one compared to some that do not air anymore. Thank You, Carol
We need new writers. I have refused to watch another episole of the Y&R. I am tired of Sharon and Nicholas. I hope they do not ever get back together. How much longer before Nick finds out the truth about Summer being his child?
We as humans every day experience death of a friend or loved one. This is the circle of life. Y do we also have to watch our favorite soap ophra lose a child on it. To much fricking Dramma in all our lives. Come on here cant things be normal and cant we enjoy TV that makes us happier people instead of being sad and depressed? Wake up writers. im discusted over this Y and R chapter.
I fear they have lost many of their fans. I was in a club in my area with some older folks who used to watch and they are done watching for awhile with the senseless killing off yet another major characters child. Teach the lesson without killing the child. Plus this child already had her illness and that drama was sincere and lasted awhile. This was uncalled for.
My problem with current EP Phelps is that she has not learned lick about what plagued her past shows. On a professional sense she is the very definition of insane. Someone who does the same thing over and over expecting different results. Its clear JFP is bankrupt of ideas and that alone should be enough to get rid of her. She brings nothing new to the table.
As for the person who wrote that Billy should not have thought about the future when he was there with Delia must never have been faced with this type of terror in the life. I think that the writers nailed it. At that moment your mind does not know what to think so it compensates. I do realize that it is hard for anyone to watch they made it real. I hope they take this story line a little farther and show how this type of loss effects parents and how they can deal with the loss. Many parents that have this great loss in their lives do not know how to deal with the grief. Maybe they could help some if these parents that watch by showing the grief and the ways in which it could be handled. Even though it is heart renching it is reality.
I watched these episodes and yes it was heart wrenching. But you know what, it happens in life. Death is a part of life. I think the Y&R writing staff wrote an excellent story. I think Billy Millers acting was exceptional. BUT ..;. thats all it is, acting, that little girl is alive and well, and doing another tv show. Its all make believe
I am sure a Billy will be arrested, and sadly he will deserve the punishment for the crime. In fact, his ex wife may file a civil suit. If this episode prevents even one tragedy due to heightened awareness, I say it was worth it.
I too think it was a very dramatic episode HOWEVER it also served as a good public service message. If the episode pops into the mind of one parent contemplating running into the store for just a minute and leaving a child in the car alone then it was well worth it.
What the hey! Delia was the best part of Y&R, she was a bright spot at an otherwise low point in Genoa City.
* Writers are you trying to get Y&R fans to stop tuning in? And I am so tired of Adam always being the villain.
It was a bad move to kill of little Delia!
Tess I so agree with your assessment. I was cleaning out my DVR last week and came across an ep of Y&R from last November. It was the show were Nikki/Victor hosted guests at their new penthouse. For starters, that set is much more elegant than the drab ranch. But also the actors were dressed like elite people. I was amazed because they were Jills shows and in a years span she seems to have ditched the glamour part of Y&R and settled into a more vanilla style of presenting these characters. Also the show still featured a lot of the old music. I got teary eyed listening to a few of those classic strings. So much more effective that than the mediocre music that replaced it.
First of all, it is completely out of character for Billy to leave Delia. He loved her so much and would do anything to keep her safe and happy. The whole story line is horrible and to kill off a child is ridiculous.
I think Sally Sussman and Kay Alden should head write the show. They both understand it and they learned soap opera writing from the master, the late Bill Bell. I think Kay exited Bold and Beautiful. I doubt if her talents were appreciated there.
I think this is an awful storyline. I think they should turn it into a dream and replace Delia with another actress. I have watched Y&R since its inception and this is the worse storyline I have seen. Accept for the cornea transplant it had no meaning. Y&R was the best soap for many years. What happened?
The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y&R) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS. The show is set in fictional Genoa City (named after the real-life Genoa City, Wisconsin).[2] First broadcast on March 26, 1973, The Young and the Restless was originally broadcast as half-hour episodes, five times a week.[3][4] The show expanded to one-hour episodes on February 4, 1980.[5] In 2006, the series began airing previous episodes weeknights on SOAPnet[6] until 2013, when it moved to TVGN (now Pop). From July 1, 2013 until 2019, Pop aired previous episodes on weeknights.[7][8] The series is also syndicated internationally.[9]
The Young and the Restless originally focused on two core families: the wealthy Brooks family and the working class Foster family.[3] After a series of recasts and departures in the early 1980s, all the original characters except Jill Foster Abbott were written out. Bell replaced them with new core families, the Abbotts and the Williamses.[3] Over the years, other families such as the Newman family, the Barber/Winters family, and the Baldwin-Fishers were introduced.[10][11] Despite these changes, one of its most enduring storylines was the four-decade feud between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor, the longest rivalry on any American soap opera.[12][13]
Some well-known celebrities got their jumpstart on The Young and the Restless, including Eva Longoria, David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck, Paul Walker, and Shemar Moore. Many other celebrities have made a guest appearances on the show, including Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Wayne Gretzky, Il Divo, and Enrique Iglesias.
To compete with the youthful ABC soap operas, All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital, CBS executives wanted a new daytime serial that was youth oriented.[17] William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell created The Young and the Restless in 1972 for the network under the working title, The Innocent Years![17][18] "We were confronted with the very disturbing reality that young America had lost much of its innocence," Bell said. "Innocence as we had known and lived it all our lives had, in so many respects, ceased to exist."[19] They changed the title of the series to The Young and the Restless because they felt it "reflected the youth and mood of the early seventies."[19] The Bells named the fictional setting for the show after the real Genoa City, Wisconsin, a community on U.S. Route 12 in Wisconsin along the Illinois-Wisconsin state line located between their then-home in Chicago and their annual summer vacation spot in Lake Geneva.[2]
