Does anybody remember the first episodes? I think it had a newspaper editor as the dad, and then 4 daughters - Laura, Leslie,Chris and Peggy. And, it seems like Chris married Snapper, who is Jill's brother. But, I can't find anybody who remembers this, do any of you remember it? And, what happened to the original charactors - did they just write that whole family out? This is bugging me, because I'm almost sure this was the way the soap originally started.

Okay, you found your Young & Restless fan, I have watched since it started and I still love it as much.
The Young and the Restless centered upon the Foster and Brooks families. William and Elizabeth Foster had three children: Snapper, Greg, and Jill. Stuart and Jennifer Brooks had four daughters: Leslie, Chris, Peggy, and Lauralee (nicknamed Lorie; her father would turn out to be Elizabeth Foster's brother, Bruce Henderson).
At the core of the show was class struggle: the Brooks family was wealthy and in possession of the means of production while the Fosters were poor and alienated. Leslie and Lorie fought over first Brad Eliot and then Lance Prentiss, a triangle stretched into four when Lance's sea captain brother Lucas arrived.
