Crossovers of multiple characters owned by one company or published by one publisher, have been used to set an established continuity, where characters can frequently meet within one setting. This is especially true of comic book publishers, as different characters in various Marvel or DC comic books frequently interact with one another since they live in the same "universe". (The X-Men, for example, have frequent dealings with another group of Marvel heroes, the Fantastic Four.) Crossovers may also be advertised as a guest appearance or cameo appearance, often to promote another work of fiction, somet ...

The Young and the Restless stood out from other soaps on the air for its brightness, both literal and figurative. Soap operas at the time tended to be comparatively darkly-lit and lugubrious in tone. The Young and the Restless infused light, humor and youth into the genre. In its early years, The Young and the Restless centered around 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 ( ...

The key to the show winning the ratings week after week is due in part to the tight-knit writing and production staff. For the most part, the writers and producers of the show have stayed unchanged since the 1980s, with the only high-profile departure being William J. Bell himself, who retired from writing the program in 1998 after twenty-five years — although Bell stayed closely involved with the series, servin ...

The Bells created The Bold and the Beautiful in 1987, and in 1992, the mega-popular Y&R villainess Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) crossed over to B&B's Los Angeles setting.

Bregman), whose department store chain kept her in close co ...
