Woah, David Shaughnessy's back at Y&R. LOL

- David Shaughnessy back as Director on January 28

OMGGGG

Toups, I didn't watch Y&R today, but you just made my day. David was the last EP who "got" Y&R.

Yep. Things just keep on getting better :D

At least with the rest of daytime seemingly going to hell, we once again maybe can all depend on Y&R to be a step above the rest! Hopefully!!!

And on the Nancy Curlee thing, I'm not getting my hopes up on that. She'll always have a special place in my heart, since GL was the first soap that "hooked" me in the early 90's. She's a perfect fit at any soap, from Y&R to AMC. She knows how to do business intrigue, social issues, relationships, romance, and tell character-driven stories. However, as someone said, she's never coming back and I've accepted that. :(

Y&R didn't need any new directors (hell other than Sally McDonald and Dean LaMont, everyone who directs for Y&R is freelance), the fact David Shaughnessy is back is HUGE. The Bell family clearly has a bigger hand in controlling Y&R again. Shaughnessy was still apart of the Bell fold, having directed for B&B. Who knows, he could very well be back as the show's Executive Producer again after the strike.

Or I could be making something out of nothing. For all we know now that Sally McDonald is a producer and has her hands full, she probably needed a director for one episode, so she called her old friend David. <_<

Maybe she is writing for ATWT. :D:P

LOL! I think one of the reasons she left soaps behind was because she hated P&G and their interference.

Someone as good as Curlee should not be scabbing....

  • Member

Well, if Nancy Curlee were scabbing for ATWT, then she's been out of practice for too long; 'cuz the dialogue today? STANK.

Sylph is not - I repeat, IS NOT - Vincent Latham Lechowick; and any suggestions to such a claim is purely conjecture.

Believe me, folks, you don't wanna go there. ;)

Somehow I still think you believe I am. And that doesn't surprise me.

Essentially, she's taking one for the team.

Yes, I think that's what's going on.

However, as someone said, she's never coming back and I've accepted that. :(

Never say never. B)  Later, don't make me say "I told you so." :lol:

I think it comes down to this: Kay loves daytime, she loves the Bells, she's not trying to 'make it' as a writer, she's hit the apex of her career, this strike doesn't look like it'll end soon, she doesn't want B&B to go down the drain creatively when it's been on such an upswing. Essentially, she's taking one for the team.

Thank goodness, too.

This week, with a drunken, histrionic Taylor swigging vodka from under her mattress...

Well, we've devolved from the height of Stephanie's truly mysterious shooting (and it's silly resolution).

Let's get back on track. One beautiful thing is that B&B is capable, always, of getting rapidly back on track.
