Once more, a place for a general discussion of Y&R. I guess you can also call this the "Haters" thread, August Edition.

Hopefully, Pratt's firing will have a domino effect and the Head Writers at Y&R will be fired and replaced too.

Make it happen, Sony and CBS!

Pratt's firing gives me hope that someone out there knows these shows suck and are trying to fix things. Whether it works over the long haul is to be seen though, but it's an optimistic start.

So many people thought Pratt would be writing AMC's finale, let's hope Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner won't be writing Y&R's finale and we'll get a more competent writing team.

Why do you think an ABC decision concerning a low-rated show would prompt Sony and CBS to do anything?

And can we please stop talking about Y&R having a finale? It's more morbid than Hogan Sheffer's writing!

I don't see SonyBell firing The Hog or the disrespectful dummy anytime soon

Pratt is a high profile writer that was touted as AMC's savior, and he was BFF's with the head of ABC Daytime. No one thought he would be fired, at least not this soon. AMC is actually up in the ratings, for the most part, too.

So, if surprises can happen there, they can surely happen at Y&R. What part of that sentiment did you not understand?

If there's someone out there that sees Y&R in in need of some creative revamping, there might be more hope left for the show than we thought. No one expected anyone see the disaster Pratt was at AMC, at least not this fast.

It's going to happen one day, sooner or later...

Do you mean MAB or Scott Hamner?

[aMLCproduction]

the disrespectful dummy is MAB.

Hog=Hogan

I like Scott H.

Later. Much, much, much later. Nowhere near soon enough to even start thinking about it now. The only soap in immediate danger of cancellation is ATWT.

[YRBB]

I don't know about you, guys, but Y&R has certainly been canceled from YRBB TV....

Yeah, same thing with me.

[Juliajms]

Has anyone heard this rumor from a reliable source? I'm not sure where it originated.

Spoiler

A reliable source has revealed to us that Y&R is currently taping scenes (set to air around the holidays) that feature the character of Billy Abbott fighting for his life after being involved in some kind of dramatic accident or car crash. He appears to be at death's door and it's looking like he might not survive...

[dmarex]

It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Y&R is all about shock and awe. Why the hell would the viewers be stupid enough to wait for their shock of the week?

Spoiler

The idea of Billy changing because of a brush with death is a good one. The rumor is that he dreams he is Scrooge or some such thing. But my issue is the timing. Death and mayhem are starting to lose their impact. It really needs to be dialed back for awhile.

[dmarex]

I would have no problem with this if it wasn't always the same thing. We already had so many people end up in a hospital and people around them realizing that they can't live without them.

Spoiler

This will just be a way for almost EVERYONE in Genoa City to forgive Billy for being an obnoxious bastard during the last few months and a way for Mac to get back with him, or something like that.

General Homicide.

Carmen Mesta.

I'm still gagging at how Hamner let it slip that they never had the intention of writing a gay storyline, and MAB tried to do damage control. She probably went hard on him after that. She's such a Hitler, but the kind that doesn't even know what she's doing.

Well, she hasn't killed 16 million people, so I think that's a bit strong.

I just meant she likes to control everything. Maybe I should have just said "dictator."

That's kind of... Not really true. It's quite the opposite, even though her interviews say something different. But in interviews you can present yourself as you wish...
