Members MichaelGL Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 It's probably why the show still seems to be written by McTavish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Darn. Brad Bell is so lucky to have both Shaughnessy and Alden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 That's what Jim and Babs should have corrected. If the viewership erodes significantly, they will obviously be gone. And I hope Julie goes with them, too. But your post, Michael, also shows that not only Megan sucked, her subwriters did too. Sad, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Unfortunately, the show isn't glowing at the moment, but it is still far, far ahead of most soaps you see right now. Memo to myself: I have to stop all this negative criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 I agree 100%. I'm one of Kay Alden's biggest admirers but unfortunately as soon as her name popped up in the credits, the show got too fragmented and lost way of its steam... But it's still damn good, way ahead of most and my hope remains. AND KA got B&B Heather Tom whatever Brad Bell said in the interviews. Tom is one of Alden's favorites. Period.

Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Toups, did Aida Croal leave OLTL again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yes, which is why he should tell his brother, head of the Bell Dramatic Serial Company, to rehire them at Y&R! LOL! I also doubt Jack F. Smith will make his way to Days with Scott as well, since Smith was Shaughnessy's right hand man and was appointed co-EP by Shaughnessy. I thought it was interesting that Alden and the other writers didn't seem to like Ed Scott much though... Someone should write a tell-all about the behind the scenes terror that went on at Y&R, after Bell stepped down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 When I look at Ed Scott's face, I can see why they didn't like him. Somehow, I just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 12, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted September 12, 2007 Really? What's the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 After Bell left the day to day duties, there was an apparent power struggle between Scott and Adlen for cretive control. Things got really bad in 2001, over the decison to recast Sean Bridges, that the issue was taken to higher brass at CBS/Sony. CBS/Sony sided with Alden and opted not to renew Scott's contract with them, though they didn't comment much on the matter. Shaughnessy was promoted to EP, and Alden had nothing but positive and upbeat things to say. There's more to the story, but this is generally what's known.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Also, Shaughnessy seemed to have a better relationship with the writers and cast than Scott. There's a few pics with him, Smith, and Alden at Y&R events. Alden and Smith also always gushed about him to the press, which they didn't do with Scott too much. Pic with Nancy Wiard, Jack F.

Administrator Toups Posted September 12, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted September 12, 2007 Sean Bridges? Never heard of him. I assume he was a minor character? If so, that can't be the reason why Ed and Kay don't get along (allegedly). Like you said, there has to be more to the story (if true). Man, there's so many fractured relationships in daytime. It's always interesting to find out why. Lots of juicy stuff! I love it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
