Members JellicleCat Posted December 30, 2015 Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 I wonder if Brad Bell actually thinks his show is good when/if he watches it nowadays. I certainly don't. Recently there's been a whole lot of old B&B posted on Youtube, and I've been watching that and been amazed at how good this show once was and how far it's fallen....

Members YRBB Posted December 30, 2015 Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 He sounds almost demented in some bits. All the answers are perfectly acceptable, public-relations wise, and have clearly been rehearsed. I love that he admits to spending months not knowing what to do. It's obvious onscreen, which is why he keeps randomly bringing back older stories and redoing them until he finds something that sticks. He's completely run out of inspiration, save for a month or two here and there. He's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 30, 2015 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 He needs a co-headwriter. Someone to balance him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted December 30, 2015 Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 He has someone serving that function, Michael Minnis (who wrote terrific scripts on Y&R for a long time), and, like he said, Mulcahey helps out too. It's clearly not enough. Either those two are not good with coming up with story, or Bell's control and influence as headwriter is too strong. He needs to step down and put in a worthy successor, while retaining his executive producer credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 30, 2015 Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 Can't read another Fairman lovefest. Has he ever met a real reporter...You know, one that takes on their subject, and doesn't just sit there kissing their ass? And don't comment negatively, it's a waste of time, he just erases it...

Members Soapsuds Posted December 30, 2015 Members Share Posted December 30, 2015 Gawd…the story is darn right awful! The whole interview is garbage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 31, 2015 Members Share Posted December 31, 2015 I don't think the interview is that bad....but being said, I hope down the line they realized just how burned out Bradley has become (it's becoming more obvious onscreen and him saying he doesn't know what to do just makes it easier) and either give him a co-headwriter, or keep him on as producer but let someone else take over as HW. It's been almost 23 years so he will be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted December 31, 2015 Members Share Posted December 31, 2015 How many years did he keep writing the Brooke/Taylor/Ridge [!@#$%^&*]? He knows how to recycle better than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
