Elizbeth Hendrickson Announces New Chapter On Social Media
Hendrickson hopped on Instagram, uploading 7 photos, with the first one revealing the time, show number, and air date of the very first Y&R episode she is directing.
The others were various photos of her “working as a director”, including a heartfelt moment between her and Eric Braeden (Victor Newman). In a caption, she writes that after 24 years in front of the camera, she is now stepping behind it.
Hendrickson goes on to say that she’s spent the past 18 months “… shadowing, observing & absorbing — not knowing if it would ever turn into something more.
There were hurdles, but I kept showing up, paying attention, and fell in love with the process.”
With that said, Tuesday, August 5, will be her official directorial debut, when her first show airs. Hendrickson notes that working with “… with two giants of our genre, Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott, on my first day was not lost on me.”

She adds it was a privilege … mixed in with a bit of pressure (but from the sounds of it, Elizabeth did an incredible job).
The Comment Section
Hendrickson thanked her “Y&R family” for their support, both the cast and the crew, along with CBS, Sony, and Josh Griffith, the soap’s executive producer and head writer, for ‘greenlighting’ her directorial goal from the beginning.

Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair) hopped in the comment section right away to say, “Congrats! So exciting! ⭐️”, to which Hendrickson replied with a heart emoji.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Rebecca Budig (Dr. Taylor Hayes) also commented with four clapping emojis, adding, “… now come over to B and B and direct there too!!”
