About 23 years ago, I was sleeping over at my cousin's house for the night. It was a Friday at 4:30 p.m. Her older sister turned on the television to none other than the Young and the Restless. I don't really remember what that first episode was, but I know that I was hooked watching Nicki say the name, "Jack". It was actually quite comical the way she overpronunciated the J in his name. So much so that we ended up taping the episode and playing it back and pausing it over and over every time she said Jack.
Since then, I have tuned in regularly to Global TV every day at 4:30 p.m. to watch an episode of my favourite, and longest viewed television show - The Y&R.
I have wanted to write a blog for a long time. I thought about writing about my family (amazing husband and two very handsome sons), but we're pretty boring and so I didn't think I'd have anything exciting to write about. I thought about writing about my passions - cake decorating (for which I have a home-based business), teaching (my other job), music, photography, reading, amongst other things. None of them really seemed like something I would want to write about on a daily basis. So, as I got thinking, I decided to write about something I know a lot about, something I enjoy (most of the time), and something that gets me passionate. It doesn't mean that those other topics won't find their way into this blog, but the Y&R is the very thing I have been looking for!
And so now it begins. For any Americans reading this, I will be posting based on the Global TV episode that we Canadians get to watch the day BEFORE CBS airs it's episode. Therefore, unless you want some spoilers, I suggest you visit the day after the blog post.
I look forward to hearing from other Y&R fans and viewers. This is NOT a place where I want to start arguments. It's simply my platform to talk about the show and my thoughts and opinions on plotlines, characters, writing, etc. If you disagree, you are entitled to, but I will not engage in any arguments or heated debates about my views and opinions.
