Hey Zendall Fan. I want Josh Griffith or whoever is now the Executive Producer on The Young And The Restless. He was the Producer AND The Head Writer During the Strike. Now, Marina Arena Bell or whatever Her Name is is The Head Writer. I was Enjoying Young And Restless. I didn't like Young And Restless with Lynn Marie Latham because I wasn't Interested in Amber's Past or Daniel watching P**n or Kay and Jill Yelling at each Other. I also Hated how She Treated Victoria Rowell and Adrienne Leon. That is Dru and Colleen. I just Remembered that Nikki is Married to the Producer so I guess that They won't leave the Number One Soap for All My Children. If it was up to me, I would have the Producer, Nikki and David Chow ER I mean David Hayward. Maybe David Chow can Kidnap Nikki and Take her to Pennsylvania. LOL ! Jody

Raven is already covering herself now with this one. A week ago she said AMC would get a change of the "write" kind that would have fans jumping from the roof tops. Now this week now that this little blurb is out there, she says that the network has stepped back from who they were interested in and now feel they owe a certain writer who came to the network in a time of need aka strike.

Dear lord LOL.

If Frons feels he owes Tomlin (and Pratt??) for helping out during the strike then why not let them do Night Shift since apparently Guza and Phelps won't be doing season 2. I think GH viewers would be much more accepting of what these two clowns have to offer....

As for AMC, in an interview he did this week Nelson Branco said he doubted Pratt would come to AMC. But he also said he does not think Esensten & Brown will be let go. Though he doesn't seem to knowledgeable on the goings-on at AMC because AMC doesn't really interest him.

That actually encourages me that he doesn't know what is going on :lol: so he'll keep his nose out of it. Any hope would be that Agnes will hand pick the next head writer, if we are to get one.

Puhleez...she had no power over that story and merely said something nice about it so as to not come off like a mean ole lady. All she can do is consult on how to drive the story but she is not in a position to strike it down-that is Frons' decision. She is not going to outright say "it sucks" so she simply said "I thought of it interesting" but interesting does not make it good.

I can tell you right here that, odds are, she is very pissed that Erica's abortion was reversed. Same with Susan Lucci but they could not outright say it because they are team players

I don't fault her for that. What was she supposed to do...come out and say it was a horrible idea? She did what she had to do. She had no power at that point, and they were going to do the story with or without her consent. They figured having Agnes come out in favor would be good spin. By the way, she never said it was a great idea. I believe her wording was that it was an "interesting" idea when presented to her. Not exactly a full endorsement. I bet she and Lucci were plenty pissed.

    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.
