Members Roman Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ok. I saw the latest issue of SOD, andit said something on the cover that shocked me. Should I start watching Y&R once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 What did it say on the cover that shocked you, Roman? If you can, try to catch the weekend marathon on SoapNet of Y&R. Most of us have noticed an immediate change on this show, you might too. Watch one episode and see what you think...

Members Roman Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 See, I don't want to spoil anyone.... But it has to do with Victor. I was just like.......wow! I never thought that would happen to TGVN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 After two days I am hooked back onto Y&R. OMG! Who knew that in such a short time things could be turned around? Every scene matters! The characters dialouge is all stuff that makes you want to hear them out. Characters I hated, now I tolerate. Victor Newman!!!! In jail dictating to Michael, that was classic Victor right there. Y&R is back so far but as Ryan said, do I dare get my hopes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denniel Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sally Mcdonald has just been promoted to producer. Yea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 I watched the other Friday's episode were Ashley surprised Jack and I was shocked--suddenly, I can't wait to watch the next episode! And Sally McDonald as a producer sounds really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 This past week was really a night and day difference. The Latham era (hopefully) is over and the resurgence of the Bells is underway. The lighting was better (tip of the hat to Sally McDonald who so deservedly got the producer promotion). The dialog was better and more in line with each individual character (big shout out to Maria Arena Bell and Paula Cwikly!) and everything was just so wonderfully paced (shout out to Josh Griffith!). I am *shocked* at what a one week difference can make. It really goes to show how pathetic LML, her lame husband and son and their bloated 18 person writing staff really is! I am just keeping my fingers crossed that the horrid LML storylines can be wrapped up quickly and that the momentum the show has continues. I would hate for Y&R to hit a deeper rut than it's already in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 The stories are HORRID - seriously every scene involving Amber and a wig (ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!) or that dumb bastard David Chow (yeah right, he manages to break up Nikki & Victor) - but the execution is fabulous. Great dialogue and scenes with actual conversation; you can relate to character which couldn't be said at all in 2007 for Y&R... But most of all; a more classic directing and the BEAUTIFUL music is back. And cliffhangers! Isn't amazing how easy it was for Griffith and Arena Bell to make Y&R itself again? Now imagine what could happen if there were some good stories and deadweight LML characters cut? Astounding possibilities! I'm back with Y&R I guess.

Members MarkH Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 Okay...why do you think Cwikly is back? Was she in Friday's credits and I missed it? I can't believe she'd go FiCore...I'd just assumed she'd want to have a shot at HW again some day. Please help me confirm the Cwikly thing, because I haven't seen that elsewhere....

Members DaytimeFan Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yep, Paula Cwikly went Fi-Core. Her name was in the credits (although I can't recall if it was the American or Canadian Friday episode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm almost positive that Paula was in the Friday episode...it may have even been the Thursday episode. Y&R does seem to be getting better - even though the stories are still crap. Hopefully with time Josh Griffith and Maria Bell & Co. can improve them and introduce their own stories. ETA: It was Friday (US) - I checked Toups's Writers and Directors thread. I think so too. She's been great on B&B and it's been nice seeing her with story (even though she hasn't been on much lately), Y&R is her home and I would love to see her back there.
