Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 17, 2008 Members Share Posted May 17, 2008 He was there for Corrie's resurgence in quality in the early 00's, surely he can be an asset to the already poorly written AMC.... HOWEVER, UK soaps are a script writer's genre, hell a writer's genre period. US soaps are not the same and they're written and constructed quite differently.

Members Sylph Posted May 17, 2008 Members Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm quite ambivalent about this. I don't want the network politics to destroy what he has to offer. I'm all for a British writer shaping US soaps, but this is somehow upsetting and exhilarating at the same time. One of the greatest things about the British soaps is that no matter how awful the overall stories are, daily shows are pretty much superb. The dialogue, the little moments... Splendor.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 17, 2008 Members Share Posted May 17, 2008 Oh, ABC will undoubtedly screw this up. Remember, this is the same network that told Patrick Mulcahey he had to dumb his dialogue down becuase it wasn't accessible to a wider audience... Yes, as I said before, they're paticularly a script writer's genre. There's no traditional "head writer" in UK soaps, and script writer's get a lot of say in the overall direction of stories. They may even suggest storylines and work on them with the "story producers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brimike Posted May 17, 2008 Members Share Posted May 17, 2008 I think this is great news HOWEVER, I'm a little worried about "too many cooks in the Pine Valley kitchen". B&E, a possible Pratt story, Julie, Brian all over everything, and now Little? I hope it's truly a good thing, but it seems like a lot of people sticking their fingers in the pie.

Members Sylph Posted May 17, 2008 Members Share Posted May 17, 2008 So you're confirming this? As Y&RWorldTurner said, ABC will screw this up. If they don't let Daran do his magic, nothing good will ever come of it. Except two or three very good moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
