After working on The young and the restless For more than four decades, Kate Linder Still hope that one Oscar -winning actress will appear on the soap opera.
“You know what would really be? Oh my gosh. I can’t believe I just thought about it,” said Linder, 77, Weekly US to Habitat for Los Angeles’ Humanity 2025 Ball builders on Thursday, March 20. “It would Meryl Streep. Can you imagine? Can you imagine (my character) Esther and Meryl Streep? That would be so good. I would love that. “
Linder said Streep, 75, would not even have to play a character. Instead, he could portray himself and make a splash on the long -standing soap of CBS.
“I know!” Linder said before revealing a possible story line. “Because Esther is the manager of Crimson Lights now, Meryl Streep walks into the Crimson Lights Café and I’m going, ‘Excuse me. What can I get you?’ And then I’m looking up and realizing she’s. ‘Meryl Streep, you want coffee?’ Could you imagine?
Later this month, Linder will celebrate 43 years of working on the soap opera. (The young and the restless been on air for 52 seasons.)
To this day the actress can still recall her first day on a set and meet Costar Jeanne Cooper For the first time.

In May 2013, Cooper died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 84. She was best known as Chancellor of Matriarch Katherine on CBS soap opera.
More than 10 years after the death of her Costar, Linder said she still felt a connection on the set.
“I miss him, but I still feel her presence,” she told Us. “Sometimes I’m in her dressing room. I get her dressing room, and that’s very special to me because I feel it in there.”
When Linder appeared for her first day of work The young and the restlessShe was initially hired for one day. To still act on the same show and see CBS premiere and brand new soap In 2025 is something she could never have predicted.
“I love Beyond the gates”He said.“ It’s so good for the genre. It’s so good for all of us. You can’t tell me that soaps are dead when they bring a brand new show, and it’s great. “
