Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 You know, I have MAJOR problems with Rauch. He's arrogant, a misogynist, a tyrant EP, he favours camp, and fair judgement isn't his strongest suit. Had Y&R still been headed by Bell writers, I could've handled Rauch as a consultant, but not now. History has shown that Rauch is only as strong as the writer's he's worked with. If they writers are weak and have very little vision, Rauch walks all over them, of course, the exception was Harding LeMay at AW in the 70's, Rauch's only true success story IMO. From a production stand point, Rauch is very good with sets, getting performances out of actors, but the lighting on his shows are HORRIBLY BRIGHT. I hope this isn't a prelude to Rauch getting the EP job at Y&R, and Y&R is known for dark lightening. I know he's much older, but couldn't they have asked Harding LaMay to consult instead of Rauch?

Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Harding is 86. Consultancy is a sh*t job - you write tons of story bibles and all sorts of cr*p and no one ever uses your ideas. So there's no point in bringing consultants and inflating even more the already terrible Y&R team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Of course she will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Until I saw the part in parentheses, I was about to have a heart attack. You know, her breakdowns weren't as bad as I expected them to be, she's done an OK job so far by me. Hmmm, I thought Maria said his contribution to the show would start airing in August.

Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I was just about to rephrase my previous post: Sadly, she will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wait, is Natalie being demoted to just a regular breakdown writer or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Okay, so I guess that explains why the material starts being more interesting... hopefully this will turn into something good. At least she knows the show. There aren't a lot of old Y&R writers, and we don't need ALL newbies there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Nope. Toups can tell you why she's "leaving". Puhleeez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 The only way I see her leaving is if she joins Alden and the rest of her friends at B&B. I think the only reason you hate Natalie is because she's Alden's protege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I meant, it's good to see that at least someone is still there. Even though we don't know exactly what part is Natalie contributing too. Why is it that you hate her? I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 She is still employed at Y&R, as far as I know, but she's on "vacation", sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 14, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 14, 2008 No, no. Yeah, she's one of the last remaining connection to the Bell world.... one of the last remaining Y&R 90's writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Puhleeez! That makes no sense. You, on the other hand, are the one who doesn't have valid reasons for liking her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't have to state my valid reasons for liking her, if you don't have to state your valid reasons for disliking her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
