I wonder if Bradley could deal with the pressures of running two shows, even though his father did it for a few years.

The Bell's needs to get invovled in Y&R again, and no I don't mean Maria and clueless husband. :rolleyes:

And SOAPSFOREVER, John F. Smith did go Fi-Core, he was on the list The WGA published of Fi-Core writers...

Maybe Pratt will hire her for AMC then. :lol:

You know with Josh Griffith's agenda pushing behind the scenes at Y&R, if you're not repped by his agent, Sarnoff, you're not writing for Y&R. One of the many reasons why Griffith is doing more harm than good. :rolleyes:

Sylph, who reps most of the B&B team?

The producing has never been the problem with B&B, it's always Bradley's ADD when it comes to writing.

B&B is still a quality produced show, and no matter how bad the writing is, the stuff he writes is executed on the screen properly. I don't know if that's due to the other producers on the show or Bell.

Plus, Bradley wouldn't be writing Y&R, he'd send Smith back there to help Maria and Hogan. :lol:

WOW. Then I've lost all respect for the guy. He signed a letter with the majority of daytime writers that appeared in VARIETY saying he/they stood solidly with one another and wouldn't break the strike by going fi-core. Guess that tells us a lot about the man.

Weaver is a money-cruncher, he's no classic soap producer. He is vice president of BBL (distribution company of B&B) and was instrumental on making B&B the worldwide success it is today. He's basically doing a one man job where SONY has a full department of people. :D

Weaver is basically caring for the financial side of producing B&B and is always overseeing the foreign remotes as a coordinator, not so much looks or story thoough.

"...snapped up by B&B"? Talk about spin! According to several other posters on this site, wasn't Alden hired as some sort of "consultant" at ABC where she wrote longterm for "All My Children" (which was roundly rejected), then returned to Brad Bell with her tail between her legs, begging for something to do? "Snapped up" indeed.

I agree, alot of her stint at Y&R was very boring to the point where i almost stopped watching it and probably would have if she was still there.

B&B has been good this year so if any of that is her doing, then I guess this would be a positive step.

      To me, Judith McConnell (Sophia, SB) was more poised for Beth than anyone else. Yes, she was, as Sister Beatrice.

      Is that even still possible? I thought that too at first but with Jan saying that she's never lied to Ashley about who her father is... Does Ashley even know who her dad is?

      Unfortunately I only had one or two pages from those months. I believe I posted them but it would only cover one or two shows.

      I think she would have been fine, although Beth was a thankless part. She probably was seen as aging out of the genre after AW.  I forgot she was on Sunset Beach.

      OK, I like the Cat interactions with Xander and EJ. And, I get that there are new writers. But, Clyde was shot 12/11/2024.  So, why have we not heard Xander or EJ's response to the situation for five months!  Clyde shot EJ (or he ordered him shot), shouldn't he react more to the news of his coma.  And, I've never heard EJ or Kristin mention that the woman who lived with them last summer was a fraud. Rather than giving lip service to the idea of family and community, at least it feels like everyone no longer lives in a bubble. Also, while it makes sense to use the hospital as the prize in the war between EJ and Xander.  We all have to admit that under the prior writer, at least Xander, and I think EJ, were dissuaded from buying the hospital went it started to go under in March.  I get the magic sepsis cure makes the hospital more valuable.  But, it seems like the people who are going to get rich are going to be the pharmaceutical companies.  Unless, Kayla and Sarah are going to start manufacturing prescription drugs out of the coffee machine in the lobby.  -- crud, I broke my promise to stop complaining about illogical this story can be.

      I don't know if I could have seen that from her, honestly. But I feel like, outside of GH and her original DAYS stint, American daytime really didn't pay much attention to her, even though they should have.

      Co-sign, 100% on this one. Xander was entirely in the wrong.

      I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is also a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.
