Haha...glad you admitted it without someone pointing it out...LOL. I didnt know you were. Your posts didnt stand out with her as head writer. The show is just dull with her as HW.

I mean... I don't like her writing all that much. I just like her as a person. She's great.

I'm waiting to see what happens with the Emmy Awards and whether Latham will be there if Y&R wins.

Here we go with your attacks...typical of you.

No more typical than you entering every thread about Ron Carlivati and trying to rain on the parade of OLTL fans, and you don't even watch that show from day to day, do you?

I always said Jean was a hack.

Yet, you're always saying in the ratings thread how good the show was and how it deserves to rise. Yeah ok...

I never said I loved her writing..or the show like you did of Bell. Oye.....so annoying.

And um, I've pointed out several times I think Bell did a decent job during the stike.

While you're mentioning Ron... I think he's a great guy, however, I don't think his writing is all that spectacular. Loads better than Higley's, yet that doesn't really mean all that much.

He is in that way very similar to Maria Arena, I love them as ‘personalities’, yet as writers they still have to impress me.

OK, you two, stop it before Ryan comes to intervene. I cannot bear another one of those...

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.

Not doing anything and watching the show stay in a stagnant rut it just as bad overt plot driven stories or killing off core characters IMO. The show is just too damn boring right now, and if I tune out, I don't care to tune in anymore.

I thought new regimes were supposed to start off with a bang, but look at what they planned for May sweeps, it looks like the same thing we've been seeing for a full two months already. Not to mention, she's been adding new characters like crazy to the show's canvas, which is really bad when nothing is really happening on the show.

They either really need to give her a good Co-HW, or just fire her and Griffith outright.

Oh look, another typical move....

I'm done after this post. Sorry, for getting into something that wasn't worth it in this thread, Toups...

Oh, axe him. He's OK, but I'd prefer, and I know you would too, David Shaughnessy.

I actually think A LOT of Maria's weaknesses are being highlighted by Griffith's weak leadership of the show. He seems to be the one pushing for many new characters and she seems to fully agree with him.

Shaughnessy needs to come back, at least he had some type of vision for the show. If they don't want to hire anyone new who worked for the show before as a writer, they should just promote Natalie Minardi Slater to the position of HW. She's been there for a decade in several capacities, surely she has a good sense of what works for the show.

Me want to marry this post!!

I think Maria is doing an ok job. I would prefer is they could get Kay back! I also agree Alvin. I think with a 3.4 for Y&R things needs to change quickly! Y&R is loosing its viewers.

I agree. She just doesn't have the executive edge and lets someone else lead her. Also, God will only know what sort of a deal there is between the Bells, CBS and Sony.

Er... I don't know about Natalie. I still haven't figured out whether she or Janice is Kay Alden's protege. In any case, no more Kay Alden, thank you.

I'll drink to that.

I'll drink to that.

I'm bloody rigid bored with the endless Kay Alden love fest. If I read another one of those post on how great she is, I'll scream!

Absolutely unbearable.

Too bad Kay no longer posts here, right Jay?

I loved the prom and takeover storylines! Kay Alden rocks!!
