Pratt Jr. revealed that working on any show whether daytime or primetime "is a challenge," adding, "I am stepping into a success story, years of being number one, and all that goes with that."

"Finding out what works is easy; maintaining and building on what works is the goal. The key with this show is to listen to the audience and reward them with the quality of storytelling the show has been known for ... inject some wild incident, and keep the stories coming from inside the characters," he shared, adding, "The show has a great cast, supportive network, top notch crew, savvy writers, etc. It's all about collaboration, teamwork, and working together with a common mission; to inject new life and energy into a classic soap. This is my mantra. This is my goal."

His outlook on getting fans to watch five days a week is to make each day feel like a Friday, meaning, "more twists, cliffhangers and that primetime feel of 'What the heck are they going to do next?'"

The head writer also gave some insight on what's to come in Genoa City, including a showdown between Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).

A mysterious new person is heading to Genoa City too and the weather will get wild when "A major storm is on the way, guaranteed to turn lives and loves upside down. Secrets will be revealed. And when a plane goes down, lives are rearranged."

The Young and the Restless airs on weekdays at 12:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
