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.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
