The Director for the Brady Pub Tribute to Caroline Brady was Scott McKinsey. (The Friday show) I talked to him about it in Messenger & complimented him. (I thought the Tribute was very well done & told him so.) He was very pleased to hear it & he was also very pleased with the Tribute himself. He's at DOOL most of his time now, instead of either at Y&R or at GH. I also shared with him that I was a long-time fan of his Mother's. It was not clear to me whether he also directed the Thursday show where Caroline appeared to a dying Will as a ball of light, took his hand & told him it wasn't his time & that he had to go back, which he did.

I saw some of the June summer spoilers for DAYS and given some of the past discussion in DAYS thread...I figured that I would drop some of it...so... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .After all of this time...JJ is being thrown into the Eve/Brady/Theresa mix. It does not sound like Gabi is out of prison yet (i'm waaaay behind), but when she gets out...no more Miss nice girl...her goal--revenge. Her target: abby and Stefan.

Well, it's over with...so...How would you grade May Sweeps? And bonus for me since I'm waaay behind...so Ron Carlivati finally have a bad May Sweeps over at DAYS? As for me... Y&R Judging by what I've seen...B. From the JT fallout to Jack's paternity to Hevon/Shick, there was stuff going on. And I have to admit that I have been binge watching again more than I have since SS was still writing. We know how I felt about the JT/Victoria story so I will not talk about it again. Nor the Jack rewrite...but I do tune in. And what are your thoughts?

Since I mentioned I saw it and would read it...I figured I would do a post with the highlights... WHY ANOTHER WRITER CHANGE? Pretty much, the same thing Corday said in his other interviews...gut feeling, steering the ship, not feeling the stories, etc. RON'S WRITING Corday says he will bring the laughs, tears, and rootable couples. Couples mention: John/Marlena, Patch/Kayla, Hope/Rafe, Chabby. Also noted--Nicole/Brady/Eric/Chloe not sure if it meant together, but more will get done with them. As mentioned elsewhere, there is a murder mystery coming. It starts in June and ends in September. RC has restructured how it will go however. Corday wants to get away from the darkness of the writing. Expect Ron's vision to be clear two months into his run. ABOUT SHERI ANDERSON Corday thinks she has a strong female point of view and should be able to ground RC as well as all of her history with the show. TWEAKS There were some to a point. Then Corday goes into why they shoot the way they have been doing it which a good overview of can be found here: http://www.welovesoaps.net/2017/02/ken-corday-shooting-days-of-our-lives.html. I liked it since a lot of us here have discussed this all the time. I do believe this is the first interview where SOD directly asked him this. And I was surprised he answered. Definitely want to hear everyone's thought now that it's out in the open re:at this point, it's the only way DAYS stays on the air thus production model. OTHERS This interview was done pre-renewal so he talks about how he feels about the Megyn Kelly news. Corday feels the show in in good hands for the fall with RC. And hopes he now has a long term writer for the future like the soap opera writers of old who stayed on their shows for a long time. So...beginning of July to mid-Aug/Sept is Corday's estimate on feeling RC's writing kick in.

A lot of soaps have a central theme. ATWT was, from what I interpreted from Irna's bible, it was the importance of a strong family. AMC's was the brother hood of man. GL's was 'There is a destiny that makes us brothers....' My question is: What is the core theme/focus for shows like DOOL, Y&R, AW, SFT, LOL, EON etc. If shows like Y&R/DOOL didn't have one how did writers like PFS/Bill Bell, Ann Marcus (?), Kay Alden maintain a steady direction?
