'The Young and the Restless' fans were outraged when we first reported that longtime star Eric Braeden (aka Victor Newman) was leaving the show over a contract dispute.

Well, never mind.

TV Guide confirms that Braeden will not be leaving 'Y&R' after all; the actor will take a pay cut, as the rest of the cast had already agreed to do.

Fans of daytime television can come in off the ledge now and breathe easier, because Oprah Winfrey is back where she belongs -- on top of the world.

Heading into the premiere of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show's' 24th season, television pundits were debating whether Oprah had lost her edge; ratings had tumbled 7 percent over the past year, with one week of reruns notching the show's smallest viewership ever.

How well do you know stars who jumped from daytime to primetime TV?

Most actors live vagabond lives, traveling from one role to the next.

So while it may be tempting to hang onto a regular (steady-paying!) gig when they have one -- even if it is in a daytime soap -- many stars take the plunge and try their hand in nighttime.

See if you can name the places, roles and shows where many primetime stars began.
