:lol:

I have to disagree, she has tons of history with the show and knows the ins and outs of what makes Y&R tick. If her deal allows her to write for both bell soaps, why isn't she at Y&R right now? Does Griffith not like her much either, I can't see Maria having much of an agenda as she's relatively new there.

:lol: You got me there! I just avoid talking/writing about her because my impression about her isn't based on writing. I haven't followed her Y&R work closely, but I know she was a part of Kay Alden's awful B&B team. After those two came, it all fizzled into cr*p!!

No Esser!

I love you, too, rain1!!!

How on Earth did Janice Ferri Esser (or Holzmüller, that's possibly her third surname) become so powerful? :blink: This is just mind-boggling! To be able to write for both shows at the same time?

At this point, it seems as if she is the protege Kay Alden was talking about in her MIT podcast.

No Alden, no Esser! Thank you!

Yes, I know it happens. It just happens rarely. Smith is a whole different animal. But what makes Janice so special to have this amazing deal? :blink:

Bill Bell wrote for two shows his whole life. ATWT and GL, ATWT and AW, DOOL and Y&R, Y&R and B&B... But that is a whole different issue.

She has to be careful not to piss Brad off since he hired her when she was down and out. So she's tentatively sticking her toe back in the Y&R waters while pretending to give a damn about B&B. She's a crafty one, that Janice.

B&B is a slippery slope. Brad starts out loving an actor... or a writer... or a storyline... but quickly loses focus. And it can literally happen overnight. (Good luck, Brandon Beemer!) ADD or something, who knows? Jim started out strong but Brad lost interest. Who can say why? Tracey Kelley is his most consistent hire-- she learned a long time ago to keep her head way, waaaaay down. And Patrick is the Great Emmy Hope... the supposed deliverer of the elusive writing Emmy Brad wants more than almost anything else in the world.

    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
