Daytime’s top-rated soap opera, CBS’s The Young and the Restless, will hit the 11,000-episode mark on Tuesday, September 1, with a special hour that includes a guest appearance by the show’s co-creator Lee Phillip Bell.

The beloved television pioneer, who launched Y&R in 1973 with her late husband, Bill Bell, appears in a scene at the Genoa City Athletic Club and will cross paths with her real-life daughter Lauralee Bell (Christine) and Y&R’s longest-running player Doug Davidson (Paul). We won’t spoil the deets but, trust us, it’s super charming.

Congratulations to Mrs. Bell and the entire team at Y&R and CBS on reaching this awesome landmark! Here’s the official 11,000-episode cast photo:

    Too bad the show\'s writing has gone to hell since she and Bill quit writing it!

    Sadly, TPTB will screw this up too.

    Michael Logan are you going to do an exit interview with JFP?

    I hope it good, because Michael Logan thinks raw fish eggs are good too. This is what funny about Logan. He swears up and down something is good, but it really shitty. Then, Michael kisses everybody ass, and tell you this long over the top story just like my boss, and it like dude who are you trying to convince. Logan, I hope it good, and while your at it. You should interview your girl, JFP, and asked her how she feel not in-charged?
