QUOTE (Chris B @ Jul 8 2008, 10:06 PM)
Scott Hamner has been a failure on just about every show he's written. Knots Landing, Port Charles, Y&R, etc. He is LML's right hand man. I personally enjoy his season of Knots Landing, but it's probably the second most hated among fans. Then on Port Charles he took over after LML was fired and apparently was just a total mess. Based on his history he didn't even deserve to be hired, IMO.

Thankfully he has no creative say in the stories at Y&R anymore. He's not writing long-story or anything. I think all he does is the coordination amongst the script writers and adding notes to whatever stories are playing out. Still, I think he needs to go immediately.

While it's clear that Hamner no longer has any creative control I still want him gone. Granted, he may have said that Joan Collins was one of the best actresses to work with (he called her funny, intelligent and hard working among other compliments)...but that was the 80s, he's an LML hackette, off with his head!

Interesting that Thom Racina has a SSM connection.

Well, on Y&R he was the "mystery writer" (per LML). So we got Carmen Mesta, Ji Min Kim, Plum and Carson. Sigh.

Moreover, prior to that, we had the HELL that was "General Homicide" (never ending convolution, culminating in mind control) on Port Charles.

No thank you to any more of that, okay? Although I am nervous (no spoiler, just a feeling) that we're not done with murder on Y&R.

I don't really think so. Maria went out of her way to get rid of that angle on the show. We got that infamous inside joke in the paper about the crime rate dropping as well. I wouldn't mind some murder intrigue on the show, as long as it doesn't become the show, as it was under Latham for the most part.

Aw Toups, I thought you were going to let us suffer until mid-way through Wednesday. :lol:

    • @soapfan770 Thanks for the Sheri Anderson interview. So she admits to being influenced by Wall Street, but did she really think that 25 years later (going by real time) the audience wouldn't notice the dust off of The Sound of Music?

    • Thanks @soapfan770 . Sheri seems to have a much different take on Emma's husband than I remember the show having.
    • Lucky said he’s gonna travel this summer with Aidan. It was a quick line. Willow looks dumber by the day somehow.
    • Well, I do love a good soap himbo who can wear some pants...and very much blue jeans.

          But yeah, I can see it. I saw it more with Hayley though.  
    • Ewww....I love MKA, but GL wasted her returns. I do think she sleeps with Ross, or gets darn close.   So...against my better judgment, I slid into '86 to find Vanessa confessing to Henry about being pregnant...and it's NOT William Roerick, DAMN IT. It's some damn temp Henry. But then it gets weirder because I'm listening in German, and it's the same voice fooling me. 
    • I hope the writers understand how pathetic and stupid Willow looks in order to continue this madness with Drew. Willow has become a laughingstock. Lucky didn't say goodbye to Aidan? Pathetic!!! Maybe then she can buy clothes that fit her. The blouse she had on today was three sizes too big.
    • I really enjoyed the first half of season 9. It was dark but Emma, Angela, Lance and Richard were front and center.  Pilar and Frank were finally interesting.  Charley, Michael and Genele came in and caused a lot of drama.  It was even sexier. I also liked the new into theme music. Then the second half of the season went to hell.
    • Something that I love about Dani is that despite her issues with Bill, she's always encouraged her daughters to have a relationship with him. I also believe that she does have a great amount of love for him which is why she is so hurt that he's sick. I've loved them including her in his recovery. It feels real and their chemistry is just insane so any chance for more of it is welcomed. That would be the perfect karma. Kat needs to learn boundaries and not be so impulsive, but I still feel like the Duprees are going to clear Leslie. How? I don't know, but that's what I think is going to happen. I feel like she'll get some kind of blackmail over them which will cause them to clear the slate. Of course the show never goes where you expect so I'm sure they'll do something different but I'm definitely curious how she will manage this.
