Suggestions For Y&R's Next EP, For Barbara Bloom


Recommended Posts

I think Josh Griffith is a great writer but as a producer not so much. He was excellent on OLTL and always good as a writer but had no experience producing. I would absolutely love Wendy Riche as the new Y&R exec producer, Wendy was great at GH. She gave GH their glory years and was wonderful. I know Bloom adores Julie Hanan Carruthers. She tried to get Julie for Y&R back in 2003 but Julie signed with AMC. It would depend Julie might depart for the right offer and she might want to return to the West Coast where she is from. Felicia Minei Behr I think has retired, I am not sure she would return as an executive producer. She was the vice president for ABC daytime and being an EP would be a step down. I actually would love Behr to replace Barbara Bloom as the vice president. OMG do not even say JFP at Y&R. Frons loves Jill always has, she would never leave GH. OMG JFP at Y&R would be toxic. The show would be PHELPED with music montages, stunts galore, and all Jill's friends coming to the show. Imagine what JFP would do to Y&R and the Bells would hate her and the cast. JFP is known for being the biggest bitch in the world. Does JFP look like a bitch to you?

No, I think Scott is staying at DAYS or he might get fired from DAYS, but I don't ever see him landing back at Y&R. If this alleged scandal Nelson is reporting (which Scott is involved in) has no "heroes," I just don't see Sony placing him on their other soap again and I don't think Bloom would be too thrilled about it.

Griffith seems to be on his way out there, if it's true that he's wanted at DAYS and Bloom still has a hit out on him. Griffith's firing can't happen soon enough though!

It might not be "relevant," Sylph, but everyone here, thus far, is either, "Ed will go," or "Dena will go"; and nobody seems to be thinking of a third scenario, such as "They'll both go (and the regime that replaces them will be far, far worse than anyone could ever imagine)".

ETA

I'm just saying, really, KC might see what's transpiring and overreact decide they're both creating the problems.

I mean it is relevant (in a sort of philosophical, hypothetical way), but relevant for Y&R?

And they are. The only thing is - Ed's "creation of problems" is trying to push the show in a right direction. :mellow: Or so I would expect. While Dena is the destroyer of worlds.

Oh, like this is the first time someone has gone off-thread in this place? Please, "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is more linear, lol.

I understand what you're saying, though, Sylph. Thanks for the clarification.

Griffith needs to go, that's obvious. He's over and he knows it. And if he doesn't, he's pretty dense. If he goes to DAYS I wish him all the best of luck, with Ken at the head of the ship, it's hell no matter how you cut it.

I would be happy to have Ed Scott back. He's got a backbone, he knew Bill Bell's vision, he's an actor's producer and got along well with the cast. At this point I'm all for it.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
