I was actually just trying to find a fitting community to ask, but couldn’t find anything fitting. Was this just a simple editorial error, or is there something making the statement technically (virtually?) true?
UPDATE: Apparently, I was superficial enough to not take a closer look at the 1973 title. I never even heard of it (I don’t think it was on TV in my country), and I didn’t even consider the responsibility of it not being a standalone film. Thanks for solving the mystery, folks!

This is accurate, OP. If you scroll down and look at Thorpe’s acting credits, you can see that she was in the show for 12 episodes between 2000 and 2002. The show started in 1973, but it’s still airing new episodes to this day.
Thanks for cracking the case - I never heard of that title before, and I automatically assumed that would be a standalone film. It makes perfect sense, knowing it’s actually a show. Thanks for the info!
1973 would the year The Young and The Restless first aired, not when she appeared on the show.
In hindsight it looks pretty obvious - for some reason I didn’t even take a closer look at the imdb page of The Young and the Restless, and I had no idea it was a show. Thanks for the answer!
Maybe a long running series?
Daily Soaps often have such long runtimes and are also often the debuts for young actors because they’re relatively easy to get into but also give lots of work and thus experience.
It’s still being produced. They’ve made over 13,000 episodes of it. Soaps are a whole other world.
That is why I actually appriciate those stupid daily soap operas. Regardless of how lame they are, they are a great breeding ground for young talent to evolve. Some girl from my school got on such a soap opera and is now doing pretty well in theater. It was pretty fun at the time to point to my mom’s daily soap opera and say “I know that girl”.
Thanks! My lazy ass brain forgot that shows can also be found on imdb, not just single films. And here I was, thinking I found a glitch.
