Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think that was true in the early and late '90s, but I FIRMLY believe JER gives into money now. "Passions" viewers know there's a character named Judge Reilly on that show. He's a crooked judge who accepts bribes. JER has made it a point, on several occasions, to say, specifically, that Judge Reilly can be bought. He can sell out. I firmly believe he was trying to send a message to viewers that "Days" or NBC paid him to rewrite the controversial "Days" serial killer storyline so they'd all be alive, and that he just bowed to the money and allowed his first vision to be compromised. So, if ABC offers JER the right deal, I could see him bending. That's what he's become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 McT has a proven track record with ratings. Save her early 90's stint with FMB (when AMC almost consistently ranked #2), she pulls a stunt, ratings go up for a week or so, the stunt is over, and she has nothing but boring filler in between. That’s what happened during her last two stints with the show. She brought AMC down to a 2.4 not too long ago. The woman is not good. We need someone with a clear vision for the long-term. We need someone that doesn't prop their pets. We need someone with some creativity. JHC needs to go, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Oh, I just KNOW you're not sending a veiled suggestion for the new head writer to kill off the one and only Babe Carey Chandler, as portrayed by the PHENOMENAL Alexa Havins!

Members Kylie Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 The ratings are up because she pulled a gimmick out her ass just like she always does. She writes (wrote, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) plot point to plot point, with no thought to the fall out. Ratings will more then likely plummet after this week, it's her pattern. We're tired of her breaking AMC's foundation down one rewrite at time. She got what she deserved. I'm not sad. I'm not sorry. It should have happened last year. I hope the door hits as they're throwing her out it. Good riddance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Oh, ouch! I don't know if I'd go THAT far, as to what you're alluding, ( :o ), but I think JER is an under-the-table kinda guy (money-wise). He said as much about his television alter-ego, Judge Reilly. I just know he was trying to send a message to his fans, that now, he can be bought -- just like Corday or NBC, or whoever, paid him off to rewrite the Salem serial killer story -- and make "Days" traditional again. You KNOW he didn't want to go there, especially since he was brought on to do the OPPOSITE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 LIKE McTavish?! I LOVE McTavish! HER "AMC" is what finally got me HOOKED on this show. She brought on the best mother-daughter soap duo EVER in Babe and Krystal. She created the AMAZING character of Zoe/Zarf, the incredible and controversial potential romantic pairing of BARF () and she wrote this suspenseful and INTELLIGENT (and actually sensical) Satin Slayer umbrella story. And once again, JR is the best bad-ass in daytime, Aiden is painfully HOT, as is Josh and, to a lesser extent, Del. Then there's the "next big" couple, Annyan. Let's not forget that PHENOMENAL Dixie is dead episode. Sad twist, but that was the best hour of daytime television, surely the saddest as well, in at least a year. This soap is the best written, acted and produced of all on daytime, in my opinion. What is NOT to love?! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 That can be debated. With just one incredible storyline (the man-woman Night Stalker),he has turned that show aroooooooooooooound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 ITA! I LOVE Josh. Why should he go, when Josh is portrayed by a great actor, who clearly has the best body and posture of anyone in daytime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm sorry, was any of these things meant to be "bad?" Because Erica has been through almost everything as it is -- except for being kidnapped by a terrorist, to my knowledge. I like it! Talk about high stakes drama.

Members Kylie Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Eh, would depend how something like this was done. POD Erica would just whine and shreek at him the whole time. If it were the REAL Erica Kane, it would good drama. I'd rather her divorce her husband, tell her family to kiss off, get Enchantment back, find some stud boy toy , and start rebulind her life. Heck if I had my way, she'd charter a plane and be on top of David, I mean, visiting David, before any of use knew what hit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 She totally needs Enchantment back! When she lost it and didn't even fight to get it back, that marked the beginning of her PODness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
