Nelson Branco was tweeting people asking where the rumor came from, basically thinking it was nonsense, then asked his sources and it IS true. The good news is that Dena isn’t the only person being interviewed to be the new HW. I just can’t imagine if she’s even on the list whoever else they could be looking at. This is bizarre, but if we’re being realistic it also makes sense. 

Could sally be in the running?. I just think Tony would say "hey my wife can write a soap!"

Exactly.  TPTB just want to make the next renewal hurdle.  If the show's quality actually improves in the meantime, then that's just a happy accident.

 

I'm kind of with @Chris B: why not just pull the trigger, fire Josh and hire Dena?  If it doesn't happen now, then it'll happen the next time Y&R needs to can its' HW, or the next.  So, just hire her and get it over with.

Maybe just to give some sense of stability. They could spin this as "Oh we gave him THREE months to improve things and it didn't work". 

If we don't get Dena were probably gonna get a plot driven writer. Thats how it works. Jelly was boring we got pratt. Pratt was too plot driven we got sally. Sally was boring mal!. Mal was plot driven so we got Josh.

I guess the viewers saw enough of the TJ on Days and realized it was garbage and tuned out. The only soap to drop in viewers and HH numbers.

 

Y&R still dropping in demos. Close to losing the older viewers demos besides the 18-49 demo.

PBs episode did terrible. Sad. No wonder he didn't want a standalone.

Dylan, you repeat every rumor you hear, truthful or not. Did you not post “So we get stuck with Dena” yesterday? You’re a hysterical gossip queen. So did we get Dena? Or were you just repeating unfounded gossip? And bringing Nellie Branco into this does zilch for you. He stopped being relevant over 10 years ago. 

I don't even know who you are. Other people were talking about the Dena stuff WELL before me. Why am i getting attacked. And i didnt say dena got hired. I saw people talking about steve meeting with her so i asked a question on twitter.

I do sincerely apologize for those who have disparaged you just for passing along information.  I hope I wasn't one of 'em.  If I was, though, allow me to apologize for myself as well.   

 

Honestly, no one needs to have heard through the metaphorical grapevine about Dena's reported meeting with Steve Kent.  Rumor or not, it's still a logical guess and likely bet, given Y&R's current ratings freefall, Dena's past history (she basically swooped into the OLTL gig when that show was in trouble, too) and the ever-shrinking pool of available "talent."  So, if that is a rumor going round, I'm MORE than inclined to believe it.

Your fine :). Thanks for the apology anyways though.

Yeah i agree.  they probably aren't looking too seriously. Like you said that pool of people williing to write a soap is small. I heard people say Dena will probably stop the tanking ratings for a bit and they have a renewal coming up. So this is probably just to make sure there new deal isn't complete garbage. Whatever happens after is whatever,

Please tell me you're not Nellie Branco, @AdamNewmanFan.  Because, if you are, that would destroy the goodwill you have on this board and the respect I have for you.

Im not. I just dont like being accused for starting this dena rumor and being called "Annoying and clueless". When i did nothing but make a twitter post. I don't know why im being blamed for that when other people have said it too. Thats why i shared nellies post. 

also if i was Nelson my Profile probably wouldnt be Mark Grossmans Adam lol

Come on guys. Stop believing that Dylan Green Adam Newman fan who gets all hysterical about every rumor. He’s annoying and clueless.

You figure Janice Ferri Esser has been with Y&R for 30 years a SW and Natalie Minardi Slater 21 years as a BW/AHW (with another 7 years as production staff previously) - they probably see what's happened to the HW's before them and figure there's an awful lot of risk and little reward. Their episodes are head and shoulders better than the rest, and maybe that's good enough for them. 

So we get stuck with dena ugh

JG isnt on the list because hes an EP too.

It's no telling what horrible writer they've actually got their eyes on.   Whoever it is, I'm sure he or she is wretched.  

But it does seem mighty coincidental that an actual GOOD writer suddenly and inexplicably leaves a Bell soap, and publicly announces that he's not retiring, just when another Bell soap is in dire need of a good writer and the current headwriter's contract is about to expire.  

But I ain't getting my hopes up.     

I just wonder what they got planned. They could have dumped Griffith in jan but they are giving him 3 more months.

1 hour ago, detroitpiston said:

I'm hoping the 3 months is just to transition over to whoever the next head writer is (I'm pulling for Patrick Mulcahey )

Im thinking they found a writer and they just cant take over until March.

Lmao maybe its ron whos contract is done in feb.

46 minutes ago, Chris B said:

What in the world would make them give him a 3 month extension?! With the ratings how they've been and the quality of the show that's shocking. Then again to be fair, they may have good streaming numbers so we don't have a true idea of the numbers. Either way, 3 months isn't a big show of confidence. They may just be looking for a replacement.

That would be possible. Maybe the found someone and they cant start right away.

Thanks for starting @xtr! JG was just given a 3 month contract extension? 

 

Anyways, Soapdom just dropped their Y&R and B&B December spoilers: 

 

yup! his contract was up in january. They gave him 3 more months

I'm actually intrigued by this one...bringing all of the "last blast" crew together is a great nostalgic mood. If it turns out to be popular, I wonder if they're considering an ongoing online off-shoot of these characters. There's certainly enough story possibilities there.

One of the actors said there might be 3 chapters

JG was given a 3 month contract extension

when did YR start doing the "NEXT ON YR" segments, I always thought it was since the beginning but i guess not.

Ik. Hopefully he does make it too the actual show.

Thing is, I think she is capable of putting out some very good soap opera when she wants to (see SB and GL). But when she's at her worst, watch out!

YR is so boring now i miss her and pratt. His stories were wacky but they had a beginning middle end and consequences.

Dear God.  To think DG was on this show for at least a decade.  The mind reels.

its hard to belive hes the last character created by LML

+100000000000!! lol

 

 

 

Wasn't Mal dumped near Christmas?

 

It HAS to be coming, lol.

 

Maybe don't base your show around two people no one gives two shits about [Nicholas and Chelsea]. Not to mention everyone else wandering aimlessly, the terrible writing for the younger crew [Mal at least did try here ... shudders ... but it's true], the complete lack of interest in actually writing for and developing one of the best younger African American casts they've had in a while ...

 

This show is just a mess. It's not even 'bad'. It's just ... lost.

And I'm sorry but in what world does a writer not have Phyllis banging Theo?

 

Where the [!@#$%^&*] is the soap opera in the, you know, SOAP?

Its bad when a writer doesnt know what to do with Michelle Stafford

Thank you!  I was thinking the Exact. Same. Thing., @John!  If you have an issue with DAYS' renewal, then do us all a favor and keep it to yourself!

 

Am I a fan of Ron Carlivati's?  Hell no!  But, I'm still congratulating everyone at DAYS, because maybe I'm wrong and this show WILL turn around one day if given the chance.  I'd LOVE to be wrong about that, lol!

I dont want any soap gone. It is especially bad when a actor seems all pissy because a soap got renewed.

You clearly haven't read tweets from GH fans then.........

They boycotted KFC and get intro street fights

For me Doug just needs to know not to engage. He doesnt work at Days. He doesnt know the situation. He can be concerned without showing out on the twitter

 

Especially when he doesnt have a contract  himself.

I can understand that people don't like his comments regarding Days being renewed. However, I do think that the Days fans that are doing stuff like cursing at him on his account are very inappropriate. IMO, Days has the rudest/most out of line fans of at least three of the soaps. (Days, YR, B&B). I can't really speak to how GH fans are acting right now. Days fans often say really inappropriate things regarding actors (especially Days actors) and go beyond the pale when they insult them. And often make very hateful personal attacks against them. (Like making fun of their weight, alcohol struggle, attacking them after they lost a parent) I saw a Days fan the other day tweet F You to Ron Calvarti, (which he responded to) and I thought that was really out of bounds.

 

That's a reason why I don't really associate with people who are primary Days fans on Twitter. A lot of them have very raggedy, uncouth behavior. The Y&R fans in general don't act like that, outside of people who have done stuff like attack Beth Maitland.

 

Doug does seem a bit skeptical, maybe bitter because he's not getting much airtime on Y&R. But I think think that the Days fans attack on him is OTT and inappropriate.

I just see tv source people using this to drag YR. Saying its terribly acted etc. I dont get it. Dougs being stupid i get that.
