Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sure. What's so strange about that? Michele Val Jean, Mary Sue Price, Tracey Thomson, Karen Harris, Susan Wald - what more could you want? Of course, there was also the eternal hope that, hey, a miracle might happen and the show would make sense. It hasn't happened yet. I watch various things for various reasons.

Administrator Toups Posted March 13, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah you're that GH has good dialogue but I just never heard of someone actually watching a show FOR the dialogue, while the story sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, you might not believe it, but... Don't forget about the hope. It served me quite a lot, believe me, to see how these people write their scripts. If R Sinclair comes to this board any time soon, I'd like him to remind me about his thoughts on Joanna Cohen.

Administrator Toups Posted March 13, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted March 13, 2008 I never heard of Wald going Fi-Core. It does seem very early though. Maybe she re-wrote the script right away when the strike ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 I can see that. GH only tapes a few or several weeks in advance from what I know, and the strike's been over for about a month, so I wouldn't be surprised if she re-wrote some of the scripts that haven't been taped yet.

Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sinclair will be happy if she took the financial core status, she's his least favourite scriptwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm afraid I said anything. SUSAN WALD IS NOT FI-CORE, I REPEAT, SUSAN WALD IS NOT FI-CORE. I think Toups is right. it's a rewrite post-strike. that makes sense. Forget I even brought it up. *ducking for cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brimike Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Absolutely. That wasn't aimed at you, Sylph. There's just a lot of people who don't read words like "if", especially in hot-topic subjects like financial core writers. According to sources, she's not fi-core.

Members Sylph Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Maybe I should correct myself, too: I believe Sinclair said she's like "hit and miss", sometimes he likes her scripts, sometimes he hates them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wish I was up on my GH script writers, but I've fallen asleep on the job when it comes to the state of dialogue on that show. I should probably do my homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Here's more proof that the Bell's are actively involved with Y&R again. According to the recent SOD, there was a interview with Lauralee Bell and she said she was asked to come back for a visit on Y&R by her MOTHER. However, she had to back-out because of prior commitments, but said she'd be more than willing to come back when her schedule allows. Anyway, I find it interesting that Lee Phillip Bell seems to be more actively involved in Y&R than we initially thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 13, 2008 Members Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hee. Who else thinks Lee Philip Bell was the one who "persuaded" Sony not to renew LML's contract? I mean, I know I'm just projecting here, but I can't shake this image in my head of Lee, barging into Steve Kent's office all Stephanie Forrester-like, and telling him, "That woman returns to my husband's show over my dead body!"

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 14, 2008 Members Share Posted March 14, 2008 First of all I LIKE Bell style dialog. It's artificial and theatrical and, in my view, sublime. Bring back all the Bell writers! At least with Bell style dialog when characters get mad they really let their language get salty. Remember when Katherine would call Jill a whore and a slut and a bitch in rapid fire succession? Those were the days. I really like the Bell style, it's nearly Shakespearean in how dramatic it all is. Delicious. Next...very interesting about Lee Phillip Bell asking Lauralee to appear. Very interesting. I wouldn't put it past her being the one who swung the ax on LML, nobody else had the balls to do it! I also agree that she probably IS Stephanie Forrester incarnate (which makes me love her even more!)...there was always something Lee Phillip Bell -esque about the way Stephanie looked till Susan Flannery cut her hair. After all, Bell Phillip Television is HER company. She's the Phillip...and I have the distinct impression that there is respect in the Bell family, what Mother Bell says GOES and yes that also applies to Steve Kent and Barbara Bloom.
