I started watching in June 2001. I have yet to see the exact episode make it to YT, but I distinctly remember a scene between David and Jesse McCartney's JR catching my attention. I was 11 years old, and I really really really liked looking at Jesse McCartney. This was when JR was acting out and hanging with druggies because Dixie was with David.
The Laura/Greenlee/Laura triangle really hooked me in, though, and I watched for the rest of that summer mainly for them as I learned the rest of the characters and gradually got into the entire show. Gillian's death was big that summer, too, and I kinda picked up on the idea that this Jesse character who was "guiding" her in the afterlife wasn't just some random guy, that he'd been a character on the show too at some point, and I think that's what led me to look into the show's history. Once I realized that this was the soap with Susan Lucci, I stayed on the lookout for any glimpses of Erica, but they didn't have her doing much at the time.
Soap Central was a godsend at the time. I remember being up at 4am one night, reading their old yearly summaries that stretched back to 1970. I was pretty much locked in by summer 2002.
