The Young and the Restless viewers will be happy to know that fan favorite Tracey Bregman, who plays Lauren Fenmore Baldwin, is back at the TV City studios, home to Y&R since its inception. She's taping scenes again, and, in honor of the New Year, she wants input from her supporters as to what kind of story they'd like to see Lauren have next!What's next for Lauren Fenmore Baldwin on The Young and the Restless View this post on Instagram Instagram Post"Back in my happy place," Bregman posted on Instagram along with a photo of her as Lauren in the Genoa City Athletic Club set. "First @youngandrestlesscbs of the year for me, and boy, do we start off with a bang! Can’t wait for you to see what is in store for Lauren!"What kind of storyline would you love to see Lauren in?" Bregman asked her followers. "And with who?"One follower wants Lauren to have no barriers this year! "Would love to see you taking over Newman Enterprise and running it! Just to get back at Victor for poaching Michael’s help again. 😂," shared @ljshen71."I can't wait to see what it in store for Lauren," responded Marie-Claire Dupré. "I love Lauren like a businesswoman, I'd love her scheming to get back the Fenmore's share she sold to Jabot and make a takeover on Marchetti. I'd love a story with Jill [Jess Walton] and the Lauren's mom [Susan Seaforth Hayes, ex-Joanna; Julie, Days of our Lives] comes back, at least for a visit, and they explore their backstory and make amends. I'd love her children come back, at least one. But I'm always happy to see Lauren, no matter what she makes, she always is fabulous."Past imperfect on The Young and the RestlessTraci and Lauren on The Young and the Restless | Image: JPIVeteran Y&R viewers know that Lauren wasn't always the upstanding citizen she is today. Her poor treatment of Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) back in the day was downright cruel, and today, would probably result in a social media uproar! How would Lauren have handled it had she been "canceled" back in the day?Of course, Lauren and Traci made amends years ago when Lauren apologized for her past behaviour, and Traci, graciously, of course, accepted it.Traci and Lauren were both at Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell) and Danny Romalotti's (Michael Damian) wedding last year, and got along quite well. Even Lauren's harshest critics empathized with the woman after her son, Scotty (Daniel Hall), was kidnapped by Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).One of Bregman's social followers, @buckeyefanmandy, speaks for many when she writes that she's just happy to see the actress on screen: "Any storyline featuring Lauren is a good storyline🩷You’re stunning and always enjoy seeing you front and center on my TV screen. Wishing you a blessed, safe, happy, and healthy 2026."What do you want to see happen for Lauren in 2026? Sound off in the comments section!
