Thanks everyone for the replies. Love reading what you all thought of him Another question I guess I have is: Kay Alden was his protégé right? When he stepped back as the head Writer in 98, was there any major differences with her material and his or was the transition seamless? I do things started to get iffy when Jack Smith got more power but, his son had cancer or something.

Colleen is so good lol Victor was yelling at Jordan and she wasnt even phased, just said "what? Are you going to beat me?"

Jordan said she was there when Eve was born. She was struck with grief over Eve and wanted revenge so she put on a nurses outfit and stole Eve. She switched her with a baby that was sick.

I think she just meant she likes the material shes been given. She just said that she hopes fans like Jordan so one day she can return for another stint.

I was listening to that podcast you and Donna linked, she seems very happy. Says the cast and crew are kind and she wants jordan to click for the fans so she can come back. Because, she's not here forever.

That sounds very good. I'll watch those B&B episodes.

Will do! 😊

As a person who started watching the shows well after he passed away, I just want to know. What about Bill Bells writing made his stories and shows the top standard? Not trying to troll or anything and be like "OH HE WASN'T THAT GOOD!" I know he was one of the greats. Just I rarely find episodes of his stuff. So I hope some people can help me understand. What about his writing just made people fall in love with it and continue to praise it almost 30 years after he stopped? Because I see comments from people who say like, even back when pretty much the most of them were in decent states his writing was still top tier compared. I know he's amazing not denying it. Just sadly never got to experience it so I guess the better question is, what resonated to you most about his writing? Thanks in advance!

Jordan says she died while they were estranged. She blames Victor for that.

Well, thank you for that. 🤣

I don't know what he's doing with the pacing. Like, Phyllis framing Diane for her murder lasted just two months. Victor faking dementia lasted a month before the reveal. Claire goes crazy in the span of a month after her introduction. But, some stuff. Nick/Sally/Adam triangle drags on for more then a year. Summer/Chance/Sharon triangle drags on and on.

Off topic, was it true some writers like MAB would come here and steal ideas??

They atleast explained why Eve never mentioned a sister. Victor asked and she said they were estranged so Jordan just never came up lol

Thanks!

Jordan hit Cole in the head with a hammer and later revealed she is Eve Howard's sister and she's been waiting 40 years for this. She revealed she poisoned the Newman's and will watch them die. At the end Claire brought Cole out. Victoria asks what he's doing here. Claire: "he had to be here for the family reunion...didn't he mother?"

In the Canadian episode of YR. Brent Boyd was listed in the co Head Writer spot instead of Amanda Beall who's still a producer.

Thank you. Did they remove the fade to black in the 2020 reruns as well? Felt weird for it to just cut to the credits in these older shows.

Just was wondering this after being more active here and reading the old threads. What are some examples of soap storylines that may have started out being absolutely hated or disliked and it grew into being a favorite or atleast good.

Were many scenes cut during today's classic?

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing that, I don't go to the page so I thought it was just my Twitter timeline. But I keep seeing the same articles day after day.

Melody Thomas Scott did a short interview. She says things get worse for Nikki before they get better.. https://www.tvinsider.com/1111605/the-young-and-the-restless-melody-thomas-scott-nikki-escape-claire/ I understand what they're doing for Kate and Christian Leblanc and Doug Davidson before he called it out since they were on the show for decades.. If they dropped brytni I see no reason why they would protect her, she came on in 2019. I guess her minimums could just be [!@#$%^&*] now or something.

Yes, still on contract according to the credits. Hasn't been on much at all since breaking up with Nate though

When Mal Young left and Griffith came on it was revealed he was alive and had a brain tumor. He went to prison. He made a cameo in the spring when it was revealed Nate and Victoria were having an affair and Elena found out he was released and was trying to get him to come back to get with Victoria.

I think they were going to do more with him in the spring but he got that show. Next week: Monday, Nov. 27, 2023 Victor demands answers on Nikki's whereabouts. Nikki receives a painful reminder about her past. Jordan and Claire reveal their motives. Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023 Victor leads the Newmans into battle as Nikki fights for her life against Jordan. Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023 Victor defends Nikki at all costs. Jordan and Claire stand their ground.

Sure. Why not lol I don't think this will end well at all, Diane's lying to Jack.
