For the last six months or so I have been involved with a little project called The Bay The Series. I say little, but it has BIG ambitions and possibilities!

It started as a meeting for coffee with a young, hip guy named Gregori Martin. He told me of a story he had in his head since he was six years old and used to watch soap operas with his babysitter. He started writing it as a webisode series and was assembling a cast and wanted me to play Sara Garret, the matriarch of the show. Matriarch…really? I quickly thought‚ keep growing…it’s OK (it’s actually GREAT). His story was so thought out and his enthusiasm was so contagious that I walked away from our meeting saying I would do it. 

I know in my blogs I have talked about change a lot. People taking the leap constantly inspire me! I thought this week I would share some of their stories.

I’ll start with my friend Amy. The story I heard a long time ago (I don’t know if it’s true) was she was a fan of Days of Lives so after graduating from UCLA she got a job in the music department under my good friend Marty Davich. When Marty left the show after I think 15 years, she took over as the head of the music dept. A year and a half ago the show had big budget cuts and a bunch of us were let go, including Amy. She had been there FOREVER and this was a huge change. She had never been home full-time with her two boys who are now 3rd and 6th graders. But by no choice of her own she was thrown into this situation.
