I noticed that B&B has joined the others with the shrunken sets. I wonder how GH is able to avoid this. They still have so many sets and all of their sets are a good size. It’s refreshing watching and seeing movement. So many different locations, offices, parks, public areas, homes etc. With great writing it would be the gold standard. 

They are owned by disney thats how lol

If amanda beall is CO HW we will probbaly see her in credits in a week or two

1970s Y&R had the Chancellors, Lance Prentiss, Prentiss Industries; all those preceded Dallas. Yes, we don't picture Wisconsin as home to multinational conglomerates and a cosmetics company in the vein of Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder. Then again, would anyone watch a daytime drama set in Wisconsin with rival families in the business of artisan cheese or gourmet sausage or craft beer? Probably not

I think UK viewers would. Their soaps are still about middle class regular people.

I think JG is a fan of dynasty. 

Isnt adam newman just An adam carrington copy

I hate the way adam is written right now. Why is JG making him so whiney and unlikable ..

He did what now?

 

 

When muhney got fired he said he had to hide from him because he would always be pitching adam stories to the writers.

Mark Ruffalo says he tried so hard to get on a soap but they told him he was too ethnic https://mobile.twitter.com/yikesitsamy/status/1299966971664986112

It really depends on what the dynamics at play are. Lynn Marie Latham was hired as a consultant initially, but as we saw, it was just a ploy so Sony/CBS could give her total control of the show - which of course was a disaster in the end. 

 

It’s been speculated for a long time that Sony/CBS do not have faith in Griffith and the falling ratings isn’t going to help with that. I think they want him out, but they just don’t know who to replace him with and they’ve pretty much gone through the list of recycled hacks who still want to work in daytime. I don’t imagine he’ll still be there in a year. I think Sony/CBS want some new ideas and are likely going to force Griffith to listen to her ideas and interpret them as best as he can - which, I doubt he’ll be able to do correctly.

 

Mal had consultants too, but he was trying to fuse some of his U.K. soap training with the U.S. format - and having “storyliners” on the U.K. format is normal and expected. 
 

Bottom line though - if Sony/CBS want him to listen to Dansby’s ideas, he’ll have to. I doubt hiring her as a consultant was his idea.

I agree, i dont think any writer wants to have a co HW or a consultant. That seems like a punishment more than anything.

Jason Thompson is a great actor, but he's too old for Billy and wrong for the part.

Who would you pick if you could?

So question about Story Consultants, Griffith doesn't have to listen to any of Susan Dansbys stuff? or am i wrong.
and what have story consultants pitched that have been worthwhile? I belive Sally Sussman was story Consultant with Cassies Death rght?

I know we all have the same argument over ratings almost every week, but have you SEEN just how far the prime-time ratings have fallen over the past decade? I was looking at a recent Nielsen report, and the #10 primetime show had only a 2.5 households rating and 3.8 million viewers overall. Compared to that, daytime's declines don't seem so bad. And shows like Days are driving viewers to the networks' streaming apps. Given the current state of network TV, I think the networks would be foolish to cancel any of their soaps (although they probably will continue to tighten their budgets). 

Even if they are cancelled, I see them all just being moved online, CBS All Access and Peacock and Hulu can take them.

He worked with Josh Griffith and JFP on Hollywood Heights and they brought him over with them when they joined in 2012. He left or was fired by Mal in 2017.

 

I guess it’s safe to say he’s a friend of Griffith’s boring ass.

 

He Tweeted about leaving the show in 2017.

Hi Dylan

  I am so honored, thank you...we even have a character with the same name as yours...

  I have included an attachment of the first trailer we ever did...

  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=295091211295963&external_log_id=8e9dc30e-31b7-4a0e-b608-a7b6813139e8&q=Lust for Life a Staged Radio Drama

  And also, I have the podcast and it's free:

  http://bartelltheatre.org/2020/lust-for-life/

  The episodes run an hour and twenty minutes, BUT each ACT/Part, was written and separated by commercials so to run the length of a daily installment as I had observed when I listened to the radio version of "Guiding Light" and a more esoteric radio soap "Hearts in Harmony". 

Thank you again!

BUT to be fair...hasn't Griffith always written for Ashley in some form when he was writing?

Hes never really had the chance . She always left or been fired by the previous regime before him

Lol. I can only imagine what her and Peter Bergman think of this mess. 

I wonder what hooked ED on, because even just 3 weeks ago she was like im not coming back they will have to do alot to get me back.

30 minutes ago, YRfan23 said:

So after 12 years of only writing for her sporadically on and off between stints... Griffith gets a full chance with ED...no high expectations from me of course, but just wanted to point that put. 

She always leaves before he comes on

Per Lynda Hirsch in her soap gossip column today, Eileen Davidson is back full time as Ashley. She is supposed to have a big story coming in the future.
