Members Sylph Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 And, BTW, I'm starting to lose patience with Y&R. I love Maria Arena Bell, but she needs to act. Quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 And we want Darin Goldberg, Shelley Meals, Valerie Ahern, Christian McLaughlin and other primetime writers gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I think primetime dialogue has improved tremendously over the years. In daytime, it's the reverse, the dialogue is so awful most of the time, there are no words to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeah, this could be the case of inexperience. She's never written breakdowns (no experience in plotting) and she didn't write any soaps for 15-16 years? They should've paired her with a veteran writer to help out.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I just saw previews for next week for the show and they are awful. I sure am not going to watch. Bell needs to get the axe...she hasnt done anything to improve Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 If that primetime Trent Jones isn't the daytime Trent Jones, as you pointed out, then I really don't see why she hasn't hired him already. I've read somehwere Maria wrote a novel. I don't know if it got published, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 With Y&R getting some 3.4's in its dailies, they better act fast. Who wants to bet that they'll be yet another behind the scenes chance at Y&R this year, if ratings continue to head south? And still, we have yet to see the show's writing staff decrease. Maria is quickly entering my list of hacks, I don't care about how long she's been at the show. She should've never been the long-term head writer. There's a variety of people who know this show and aren't writing anything big at the moment, yet those idiots in charge wouldn't think to hire them.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Maybe she repeated the same damn scenes in page after page, like she's doing at Y&R at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 And I will say it again. You were her biggest fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Actualy, she was quite good during the strike. Things didn't head south until the writing staff came back and she was HW on her own. But, look, criticism from the guy who still watches ATWT and wishes the ratings would go up, but hates Passanante and Goutman. Yeah, ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yikes! I don't think that's fair. Yeah, her material is boring and slow, but she really hasn't done anything destructive to be considered a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 You are right Toups. She hasnt done a damn thing. The show blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Here we go with your attacks...typical of you. I always said Jean was a hack. I never said I loved her writing..or the show like you did of Bell. Oye.....so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Correction: I was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Haha...glad you admitted it ...LOL. I didnt know you were. Your posts didnt stand out as a fan of hers as head writer. The show is just dull with her as HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
