Bloom only wrote 4 breakdowns: June 29, September 25, 27, November 29.

Why do people insist on using other sources? :D:P;):lol:

Oh Ed, I bet that took every ounce of strength for you to say that. ;)

First of all Maura West looks stunning in this banner.

I am really optimistic about Y&R. So far they are doing things the right way and they are not changing things overnight. They can't fire everyone who is not good within a month, this is not Another World. Things take time and so far the Restless Style scenes are much better, Jill seems to be back, Adam and Heather are rather popular and Chloe is doing her best to bring life in a very boring group.

As for Days... I get the feeling Edward Scott is not happy there and he hates the childish/crazy storylines of the show. He is doing his best to convince us everything is ok, but I just don't buy it. For some reason I believe that the last months of 2007 were the last time he enjoyed Days.

Did anyone else notice that he didn't mention Thaao P.?

God, what a boring interviews. I wonder if Maria's hype is just that and when we see her and Sheffer's material come August, we'll roll our eyes in disgust. :rolleyes:

And Branco, Griffith's promotion to EP was good for the show? :rolleyes: What show is he watching?

And could Ed Scott be more fake?

I am seriously concerned about this Y&R August hype.

On the plus side, if they are building to a major course correction, and then follow it up with Bell style stories that make sense, I am delighted.

But if we're going to see another Clear Springs (in other words, a Metro Court or a Guiding Light blackout or.... you get the idea)...that was the LAST sign of the apocalypse on this show. So I hope whatever event is EMOTIONAL not physical. Unfortunately, that feels like a major death or whatever...which is also not what this show needs.

Do you think it relates to the finale of David Chow's arc....with the whole cast put in jeopardy?

I think Hogan will be a much better fit at Y&R then at DAYS. DAYS he never got what he really wanted to do. Hogan's ATWT run was mixed, he was great when Carolyn Culliton was the co-head writer for ATWT. Then Jean Passanante replaced her and it went downhill. Hogan's last year was really bad but the first 2 of his five were excellent. I still loved Hogan way more then Jean P at ATWT which needs to go. In fact I would love Carolyn Culliton to become ATWT head writer, she knows the history very well and was excellent there but she is at OLTL.

I noticed it, and it pissed me off. BUT, I don't know whether he actually didn't mention Thaao, or Nelson chose to edit it out. I read comments of his, well, elsewhere, and there are things he edited, and he has had rather rousing debates with Thaao fans on his previous Thaao comments. Which, whether or not he likes Thaao, it's his perogative. It's highly unprofessional for EITHER one of them (which ever one, Ed Scott or Nelson) to leave Thaao out.

I find it highly unlikely that BOTH of them would forget Thaao, especially in light of the clips that were submitted. Nelson made a pretty big deal about it in previous articles. Sorry, but I've read his comments to other people in regards to this, and it makes me highly suspicious, person. :angry:

I like Nelson Branco, I dig his work and his attitude.

From Maria...sounds like a nice, 'real' person. Also sounds like a really conceited person ("I feel his presence while I write this beautiful and classic show, and his writing style and mine are very similar")...Oh Maria...you and Papa Bell aren't in the same universe, yet. I hope she proves me totally wrong, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong if August actually pans out. It had better not be an effing "Event"...Gloria's Murder? That I could do!

From Ed...full of sh*t. And God bless him. He's in a tough spot, kissing Ken Corday's ass, dealing with Sony...he's a trouper. Full of sh*t, but a trouper. I think it's clear that Ed is an actor's producer. The cast of DAYS is what's keeping him sane, if he is indeed still sane. He misses Y&R, that's clear. He should just go home to CBS and Y&R.

    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
