Members Philou Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have just scanned this article from an old Soap Opera Magazine. It's as interesting interview of the late Bill Bell on his vision of the future of Y&R... Sounds interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks for posting! The poor man must be spinning in his grave over what the show's become since LML took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bring back the "single-vision theory," pronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 3, 2007 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2007 I agree. The SVT is how soaps should be written. There's just too many cooks in the kitchen when network and production executives get involved. The only two soaps right now that has the SVT is B&B and PSNS.

Members Cat Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Great article. Co-sign on that Single Vision Theory. I sorta wish he was around to introduce another Y&R for a whole new generation of viewers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Its probably better that he's gone because as Y&RWorldTurner said.... he wouldn't stand for what Y&R has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted July 4, 2007 Webmaster Share Posted July 4, 2007 Agreed. Single-vision-theory is the way to go. If you trust someone (by hiring them) to write a show for you and bring up the shows ratings (because that is the point of hiring and firing someone, because you think they'll bring better results), then leave the person alone for awhile and see how things work. If they provide terrible results, then get involved. I have to believe that Claire Labine and early Robert Guza Jr.'s work went under the "single-vision-theory" or at least a majority of it went that way. Soaps began to stink, especially the ABC ones (IMO) when Angela Shapiro came in and now have gotten worse with Brian Frons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
