Celebrating more than 40 years since she began portraying the role of Lauren Fenmore on “The Young and the Restless,” actress Tracey Bregman has also spoken out about the show receiving a renewal order for four more seasons by CBS earlier this week. Her comments follow those made by co-stars Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) and Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman), who are celebrating their 44th and 30th anniversaries on the show this year, respectively.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bregman thanked the fans for their loyalty to the show by tuning in every day and every year, inline with the messages posted by both Braeden and Morrow.

“We got a 4 year pick up!! Thank you to everyone who watches. You made this possible!! We and so grateful to you all. love you!” Bregman said in her tweet.

Having won the Daytime Emmy Award in 1985 for Outstanding Ingenue, a category which was later rebranded as Outstanding Younger Actress, Bregman was honored with a replacement trophy during an appearance on “The Talk” last year while celebrating her 40th anniversary on “The Young and the Restless” – Bregman’s original Emmy was lost when her home burned down during the Woolsey fire in 2018.

“I would like to present this, an Emmy for Outstanding Ingenue, but this time it’s from the people who love and respect you and cherish you, your CBS, your ‘[The] Young and the Restless’ family, and I’m so honored to be able to give it to you,” said screen partner Christian Le Blanc, who portrays Bregman’s character’s husband, Michael Baldwin.

Emmy Category Retired

Bregman was the first-ever recipient of the Emmy Award in the category, winning it during “The 12th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” ceremony.

Starting with “The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” the Outstanding Younger Actress category and its male counterpart, the Outstanding Younger Actor category, were replaced by a combined Outstanding Younger Performer category. 

In early February, it was announced that effective with “The 51st Daytime Emmy Awards” ceremony, set to take place in early June, the category would be no more. 

The changes were a culmination of depreciated eligible performers, primarily the result of alterations made to age requirements. More recently, performers needed to be no older than 18 to be eligible for a nomination. The age requirement was 21 in 2021, and before that, the limit was 25.
