I was wondering. When the new head writer start do you think he will turn OLTL around?

I think so. Many viewers will be watching the first day the show records their writing. If they can grab viewers I think that OLTLwill be able to rise, not just ratings but quality! I am hoping that OLTL will take a turn for the BEST! I also hope that with the new head writer, he can bring back some old favorites like Kevin. I am really hoping that OLTL will be great!!

It's extremely early to say, but from the things he's said about his views on soaps and how they can be funny, touching, over the top, and exciting all at the same time I'd say we're bound to find something that sticks. :lol:

I always wonder why sometimes these discussions just don't work. I'm sorry that I don't post more, but I just don't seem to find time to write something coherent and relevant.

But I guess people are somewhat fed up with these situations and they are in the wait-and-see mode at the moment.

I'd just take a wait and see approach to Ron. Unlike B&E, he's only worked on one soap, but a soap that's been tremendously chaotic in the writing and behind the scenes department for the past 10 years.

Yes, Ron has experience with OLTL, but so did David Kreizman at GL. Look how wonderful that turned out to be.........not!

My answer would be No! The reason why is becuase there is no major storyline going on. The difference bewteen the new HW for OLTL to AMC is that B&E are coming in with a huge Storyline. The new HW for OLTL has nothing right now. This Todd crap is way to long. Andriana is boring. She needs to leave. They put Evangline in a coma which was stupid. Also Rex and Adriana has no chemisty.Also Tate is boring. Also Jessica/Nash thing is stenching out. They are boring. Everything is boring. I stopped watching OLTL like 2 years ago. The sad thing is that OLTL will be hard to rebound.

Thats my opinion

I say wait and see but doubtful. Valentini and Frons are still in the house and so far beyond some double talk that says little there is nothing to suggest much change. Killing off Asa isn't popular with me. I hate the David as a Buchanan story. I'm not interested in seeing Todd involved in a fight for the child we saw him try to kill on two separate instances. Nat at BE might have some potential if Asa or Kevin or even Cord were there but they are not. They've made a mess out of Jessica.

Ron is truly in the hot seat and gets no honeymoon he's going to have to earn it the hard way. I wish him the best but he's handicapped with Valentini and Frons and absolutely nothing to work with. Kserox10 makes some very valid points.

I wish him the best, but will he really make a difference? Frons and Valentini are still there and how many times have they both said that Viki will have storyline and it never materialized? The new writer is saying the same thing - Viki will have storyline. Even Higley said it. It never happened.

I think Carvilati will write his storylines, but his hands will be as tied as the previous headwriters.

I believe that Valentini needs to go back to being a Director, where he excelled. Let someone guide this ship.

      Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better of an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.

      I will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.

      Jayne Bentzen is the actress who played Nicole at that point. She joined Edge the year before, replacing Maeve McGuire.

      Wait.....Anita is an EGOT, Vernon was an important Senator, and Dani was an international model (no matter how brief, although I thought she said she was on par with Tyra Banks(or someone)...meanwhile, Nicole's some nice psychologist/psychiatrist with an award on her wall...but Dani's hasn't added to the Dupree mystique?  I don't think the writers considered ever having any Dupree be less than utterly fabulously successful  and that's actually flaw in the structure of the show.  Oh, I forgot to say...Smitty acts like she stumbled into Vanessa's Only Fans account and paid for a picture of her dirty undies before realizing it was her.

      I watched another batch of episodes and I have a sense of dread. I fear they are setting up a murder storyline with one of my favorite characters as the victim. I don't know if that would be considered a spoiler so won't reveal the character. If that's so, i will be extremely disappointed as this person has done Emmy caliber work and would create such a void on the show.  If I'm right, I think I know who the suspect will be and I would rather the suspect be murdered.  Joel Crothers's Miles has had more of a presence with his wife Nicole and I enjoy both actors. Crothers is just so yummy and charismatic. Don't know who plays Nicole but I like their relationship.  Ann Williams has been phenomenal as Margo. Margo is desperate to keep Eliot and make April happy. Williams had a nice scene with Kibbee's Geraldine about Logan and the baby. Eliot has been so slimy and menacing but he's so watchable. April and Draper are still fighting over the baby and something has happened to April to land her in the hospital. I just keep hoping she'll kick Draper out. The man is such a pain. Raven needs to come back and sleep with him. She can liven him up. Ann Flood and Frances Fisher had a wonderfully written scene where Deborah confesses her feelings for Owen. The writing and acting for this scene was first-rate. I want more of Flood. It's good to see Fisher getting more to do. Steve and his low cut shirts have been sidelined lately. The writers are setting up a Deborah/Nola confrontation.  Paige and Brian are still pretty much an afterthought. The movie plot is coming along nicely and there was a great episode where Margo had a party for the movie at her penthouse. Still enjoying the show.

      I like Nicole for several reasons, she has all the good attributes and qualities of a good person. You have to be a huge hater to dislike someone like her. I consider Dani an underdog. She had a lot to live up to and she hasn't contributed to the family name imo. Naomi and Martin seem to had more flourishing careers than she has.  She might've had a long marriage, but Bill cheated on her left and right. I am sure they had some good times, but I wouldn't call it a great marriage or anything to brag about. She modeled for what 2/3 years? That's not that successful, especially if she didn't pivot to something more lucrative. And that is the real reason she plays momanger cause she is living through Chelsea. Dani is nothing without her family name. Nicole doesn't need the Dupree; she made her own mark! And that's what you should do when you're born with privilege, flip that [!@#$%^&*]! The opportunity is there for the writers to play up her insecurities and resentment issues, but will they? There must've been a reason for her to choose Bill over someone with more status, or coming from another wealthy family. Right?  I don't expect everyone to understand her, but I do, and probably would've made her a more screw up and didn't amount to much outside having some kids.  The lack of crossover from the in-laws always bothered me, too. I hope at some point we get some family dinners. I know it's not earth-shattering entertainment, but I'm a sucker for those scenes. And you can still move the story along, too! I forgot all about my boo Jacob, and he was on today. He, for some reason, reminds me of Garfield the cat!

      You're right about that hetero bio son Dupree, though.
