Members TC Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 I love this show in spite of its current shortcomings but... some of the so-called production values are highly overrated, and always have been. I had to laugh when the Large And Ungainly One's mother talked about what it was like to be in a BILLIONAIRE'S mansion. My mother's house makes it look like a summer cottage cluttered with 80's nosalgia pieces. What kind of billionaire wuld have a home that doesn't have some kind of entrance hall? Abbott House too, lots of expensove clutter, not much of a house. Same with Catherine's house. The house I grew up in was bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 over the past few weeks the show has been getting better and i have felt like it now has a direction, somewhere to get too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just thought I'd mention this, Jeanne Cooper mentioned that the writers are furiously working on a long-term bible of stories to take Y&R well into the next year. She specifically mentioned it in regards to an upcoming Kay/Jill storyline. Long-term planning on Y&R? That hasn't happened in years, kind of makes me a bit hopeful...

Members MarkH Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 WHERE? In SOW? Can you say what the source for this "long-term planning" thing is? Because, like you, I feel if THAT is happening, we are on the road to recovery. That said, as we know, Y&R will never rise much above its current 3.5 trough. The history of daytime shows these soaps NEVER bounce back (excepting, temporarily, GH in the early 1980s). But if the show is re-energized, it can stay at this 3.5 plateau for a while until the next descent to 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 ^Someone posted it on another board, it's apparently an interview La Cooper gave to a local Atlanta paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yes, this is a so-called Jack Peyton Axiom, named after a very serious soaps scholar Jack Peyton, a member of SON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 I suggest they (Maria & Hogan) read Bleak House once more. If they ever did, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 Okay, I shall label it as such hitherto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 28, 2008 Members Share Posted June 28, 2008 I could see that, but I still want Gloria on Y&R. She doesn't need to be on quite as much as she is now, but I would be very disappointed if she's written out completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
