Please do not tell me that you are serious above your statement. I know people despise LML, some even want harm done to her (we must pray for LML if she is indeed unhealthy), but she's miles above McTavish & Passanante combined.

In all my years of watching mutiple daytime shows, I've never seen a year as bad as AMC 2006. Passanante should have never HW any show to begin with. OLTL, then AMC, then ATWT. When will people see her for what she truly is: A talentless, uncreative writer lacking true passion for writing?

As for Shaughnessy: Was he fired from Y&R in 2004, or did he quit? He rocked the show- revitalized it, whipped it into shape-the same way Sheffer did for ATWT from 2000-Mid July 2004.

What Y&R needs to do is hire back Kay Alden. She is a GREAT writer. LML is a creppy, ugly hack of a writer. I cannot believe

I am gonna say this but Megan McTavish would do better. When she wrote in AMC from 1992-1995 it was prefect. Very little to skip! I loved AMC during the 1990's. LML is just a crappy writer and needs to be fired before Y&R will become the crappiest soap on the air right now (Oh wait to late!)

ITA!!!

From my understanding, he left on his own accord, but continued to occasionally direct both Y&R and B&B. He doesn't occasionally direct Y&R anymore, but she still directs B&B from time to time. Y&R threw him a party when he left, so I doubt he left on bad terms. He also helmed the show to its first Emmy win for Outstading Drama Series in the post-Bell era. He also had a better working relationship with both Alden and Smith. Damn, I miss him! :(

He's still close with the Bells, who knows, he might find his way back to Y&R soon enough. :)

Now the latest rumor surrounding the show is that Bernard Lechowick is writing the show with Lynn Marie Latham. I thought there wasn't enough in Y&R budget to pay for Lechowick's hefty salary? Is this why Sara A. Bibel, Jenelle Lindsey & Paula Cwikly are no longer writing for the show, with Marina Alburger writing less often?

      The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.

      True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued.

      That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

      Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.

      Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.

      Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success.

      I loved those scenes, lol. I thought I was watching a stage play. But I do hear what you're saying.

      Jason47's episode summaries clarify everything. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1990-1999-t14806-s150.html The construction company is "AJ Construction" (AJ = Adrienne+Justin).   Jencon Oil was building an oil refinery at the construction site.  This was adjacent to the park. Kirk Geiger played the character Chad Webster. The character Chad was an actor in the movie being made.   The child friend with Shawn-Douglas is his cousin Andrew Donovan. A few episodes prior, Andrew and Shawn-Douglas were at the park playing hide-and-seek. They wandered off where they shouldn't have gone, by slipping through the gate onto the construction site.  Shawn-D fell into the hole at the oil refinery. There were several episodes of trying to rescue Shawn-D.  Finally Carly rescued Shawn-D, but he was discovered to be deaf.  Andrew felt bad, but Bo and Shane both understood that it was an accident.  Carly later taught Shawn-D sign language. Shawn-D was played by Scott Groff. Andrew was played by Bradley Michael Pierce. pics here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070404163013/http://www.childrenofsalem.com/days/kids/shawnandrew/shawnandrew.html Larger context here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.html

      I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.
