10 years ago this week, Y&R Chat was born!
To celebrate the occasion, I thought I’d open up the floor for a Q&A.
Are there any questions you’d like to ask me about Y&R Chat?
- History/Changes from 2008-2018
- What the weekly process is like
- Technical Q’s about video/podcasting/websites
- Fun or hypothetical things
- Future ideas
- Or anything else you’re curious about!
Just leave your burning questions below, and I will record A’s to your Q’s next week!
What is your real job? I don’t mind waiting a few weeks for special chat videos like Emmys! HD doesn’t matter to me much unless you are doing a special bonus feature. Your video quality isn’t bad. Everything is in focus. I find soapcentral to be a pretty good website so maybe you could share news from there if you check YR news online. Their recaps are excellent (if you miss something!). I wonder how big our community is? Do you have a stat on that? Sometimes I watch YR online via Canadian broadcaster. You have to turn adblock off… Read more »
Congratulations again Ali. I look forward to many more years of Y&R chat! I wanted to know what was the very first episode you watched and how many hours per week is put into the website and podcast? Do any of your friends, family or co-workers watch your podcast? How do they feel about it? Are they supportive? Have you got them interested in watching Y&R?
Congratulations on 10 years of Y&R Chat Ali. I’m so glad I found Y&R Chat. You’re great at helping us to understand the dimensions of each character. Enjoy all the accolades because you deserve them. Lots of love Ali and here’s to many more years!
Hey Ali. I really enjoy the podcast especially when you make jokes! Nikki would like to “hammer those nails” LOL! I watch the videos to see your expressions. I enjoy the fashion, poll and quote quizzes. They are like fun weekly games. 1) Who is you fav male and female character and why? 2) Fav Yr actor? Actress? 3) What is your fav all time storyline? 4) For least fav alltime s/l how would you rewrite it? 5) Most ridiculous soap twist? Remember the reliquaery & chipmunk? 6) Newman, Jabot or HWG? Why? 7) What Yr character would you like… Read more »
10 years is a long time to be doing anything consistently. Good job!
Which character on the show do you most identify yourself with?
Which character on the show, either past or present, do you find the most repugnant, as opposed to a villain who, despite being evil, still represents a captivating personality?
Congratulations on the 10 years. Been following the podcast for a lot of those and wouldn’t miss it. It’s my Monday night drive home companion. Have you noticed how much stronger and in a lot of ways more realistic the writing of Y&R has become over the last 10 years?
What is your Y and R pet peeve? For example, on the other page John said about the empty cups of coffee they drink. This reminds me of when they’re at a restaurant and stab at their spinach salads.
What drives you nuts?
Have you ever met a Y & R cast member? What did you think of him/her?
Also, who would you like to meet?
Which character do you wish would come back to reprise their role?
Do Y & R characters ever appear in your dreams? I can’t temember what happened, but Jack made an appearance on my dream this weekend. I think because I felt guilty I gave him a hard time for falling apart.
If you received an invitation to guest star on Y & R, whose storyline would you like to appear in and what would be your role?
Btw CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! It’s such a great accomplishment. I’m a recent arrival to this site and am so happy it is here! You do a fanstastic job and point out interesting tidbits I miss
I just have to say your place looks so serene, I really like it. Oh my goodness, being a host of a blog means no dust bunnies!
YESSS! These questions are awesome. I am definitely going to make a special video/podcast to answer these. Thank you, guys. Keep ’em coming! I’m really looking forward to this!!! 😀
I am loving these questions (!), and more than ask one myself am basking in the things others want to know!
“Have you ever been recognized?” HA! I would faint dead away if I saw you on the street, then be mad as hell after I came to that I hadn’t been able to chase you down the street with my autograph book…
Have you ever been recognized?
