B&B needs a new voice who can hopefully utilize more of the cast, but I wanted Alden for ATWT or most importantly, Y&R. If true, this makes me even more worried if Latham gets replaced bc likely it'll be another newbie. Still, good news for B&B, just bad for Y&R fans.

Kay could be a good addition, what B&B really needs is a good integration of new characters, which Alden could help with. B&B to me hasn't been the same since 98, they phased out too many non-Forresters that year and things were just different.

Eh, if Alden's going to B&B, is it too much to ask that Y&R gets Smith back? I never thought I'd say that . . .

This is great news for B&B which needs a writer like Kay at its helm.

I only hope that Y&R entices Jack Smith, Ed Scott, etc., back to the fold, or maybe promotes Nancy Minardi Slater.

Wonder if the Kay Alden move is a precursor to Brad Bell moving to Y&R as HW? If so, I don't envy Y&R. I'm not sure Bradley's got the consistence, depth and patience in him to write the "real" Y&R.

Embedded above is the quote "entices...Ed Scott...back to the fold..."

This is consistent with a raft of online rumors I've seen that Ed Scott is canned. But, for such a major event, I've seen no major press coverage. Apparently the last SOW, in it's Buzz column on Page 6, referred to him (in an item on Judith Chapman) as "(former producer) Ed Scott". I haven't seen that, but if that's true, that's the only firm press quote I've seen.

Elsewhere, there was a claim that SID said Ed Scott was fired, but I haven't seen that either.

IS THIS CONFIRMED? Is Ed Scott definitely gone? That upsets me, but I can't get too mad till I know for sure it's real.

Don't you think EXISTING folks at B&B are going to get mad about being kicked to the curb for all these Y&R refugees?

Still, I'm starting to hope that Y&R legacy characters and Y&R creative staff SHOW the world what they can do, and make B&B #1. That would be cool :-)/

Well, the B&B writing team used to be VERY tight. For years there was just Brad Bell, under which Jack Smith and scritpwriters Teresa Zimmerman und Tracey E. Kelly were working.

Smith went to Y&R, Zimmerman got promoted and left/was fired and since 2005 Brad has slowly enriched his writing staff with more and more former Y&R scribes.

I already thought that Janice Ferri Esser being named "storyline consultant" along with Jerry Birn when the show already has to associate headwirters that Brad might be thinking of taking some time off. He's been headwriter for nearly 15 years which is a lot. With Kay Alden this would definittely be an oppurtinty for Brad to do those outside projects he's been thinking about and publicly mentioned at B&B's anniversary bash.

Now Kay ALden - hopefully this is true - just needs to snatch up JEss Walton and Peter Bergman for B&B and my world be in eternal harmony. LOL!

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
