You're putting Toups in front of Sony's statement and SOD? Hilarious! :lol:  OK about SOD, but official statement?

I just don't see the reason for your skepticism. Sure, they maybe a transitional team, but as long as they keep it on track, who cares? This is new territory, we'll see how will this affect the awards.

The Fi-Core thing leaves me skeptical, since the WGA isn't too fond of those writers anymore. Why else were they stripped of their WGA nominations? Also, I can't imagine them being too happy about their members being apart of writing teams headed by Fi-core members. It doesn't make any sense to me. I like Griffith and Bell, but I don't think both are here to stay as HW's. Griffith is here to stay as EP maybe, but not as HW IMO.

Yes, now I see you have every right to be skeptical. I agree with everything you said.

Until any further developments, I'm just going to see how will these two develop the show's storylines. So far, I like them. :)  I told you - they probably are temporary, I just wonder how long will they last...

And when I mentioned new territory, maybe the Guild has some surprises coming our way regarding financial core writers. The probability is close to 0, but it's existent.

Whether they are a transitional team or the permanent team I am so far very happy with Griffith and Arena Bell's work.

I think SONY was 'over' the Bill Bell era team which is why they allowed LML to overrun the show with her primetime pals. Now, having seen what a year without *anyone* from the Bell era around has done to the show it appears that SONY has come to it's senses with Maria Arena Bell.

My hope, however, is that Kay Alden will ride back into Genoa City as a consulting producer, the show needs her vetting.

God forbid! Not for another five years, at least! :D If I see her name in the credits, I'm going to scream!

By the way, how much time usually passes until SOW or any other magazine publishes an interview with the newly-appointed head writers?

The Y&R anniversary book has apicture of Trent Jones. He has a beard, but still looked good 10 years ago. I'll try and scan the picture for Toups.

And this is all you have to say about Bell and Griffith? :mellow:

I don't know that I like Josh Griffiths on Y&R so much. When he was on One Life to Live with Michael Malone the show was a huge disaster. I don't know if Malone or Griffiths was to blame, but Griffiths should have been able to stop Malone from introducing so many new characters, killing off so many beloved favorites and alienating everyone.

I believe Korbel can do great but he just needs to get away from NotColleen.

I think it was stupid to get Victoria pergnant right after she lose a baby & then have the baby turn out to be JT. They are so boring.

I love what you said about White-washed Lily. Did you ever notice al lthe relationships she been in it never about her but about the guys. People don't care if she get hurts because it really about the guys in the relationship.

I can't comment on Heather or Karen. Maybe if they can backburn or get rid of white wash Lily I'll probably will watch Y&R.

To be fair Malone without Griffith is a disaster--the two combined have done some magic--in the 90s it was when Griffith left (around 1995?) that the show fell apart during his last year. Malone's not good period at Another World was without Griffith. Then when they were rehired for OLTL for the first half year it was just Griffith and he made the show, if not grat, much more interesting, then it was Maloen as HIS associate and it was pretty good. When malone (for whatever reason) became full ehadwriter again and then ultimately Griffith left earl;y (apparantly due to ABC dictating story) and Maloen was alone it was AWFUL.

Griffith isn't perfect but as much respect as I have for Malone (his books are amazing as is much of his soap ideas) I think Friffith is the one who's really made his writing on OLTL compelling

I wrote that before reading the rest of the thread/ I don't have much else to say about Bell/Griffith. I think they're a good transitional team, but the show still needs a lot of work and a new vision. Hopefully a new vision that doesn't include Amber and revamps neglected/poorly utilized characters like Paul, Michael, Kevin, Lauren, Daniel, Jill, Katherine, etc. I want much needed older characters to return ala Nina, Phillip IV, Lorie (written properly), Drucilla, Olivia, Christine, Danny, etc. I just need something bold and fresh, while still being Y&R. Kinda like what happened to B&B last year with the Logan's and Ashley. Had the show continued on that track it would be in great shape.

Right now I still FF the show and find it boring in places. I also don't believe RavenWhitney when he/she says they are LML's successors. RavenWhitney has been wrong with just about every piece of scoop posted. Remember him/her saying Kay Alden and Brad Bell hated each other? Obviously that hate was deep since Kay went FiCore for him!

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
