Premise
The show originally focused on the personal and professional lives of two core families in Genoa City: the wealthy Brooks and the poor Fosters. After a series of recasts and departures in the early 1980s, the show shifted to focus on the Abbotts, the Newmans, and the Williams. One basic plot that has run throughout most of the show's history is the rivalry between Jill Foster Abbott and Katherine Chancellor.
