September 5, 200817 yr Member In the early days, given that it was a new soap finding its feet, I found the tone relatively consistent. It was a darker, Y&R-edged show. I assume Bradley Bell came on in the early 90s because that's when the show began to suffer from ADD and veer wildly in tone. In the late 90s, it really got accentuated. It felt that TPTB were not taking the show seriously as a soap. Merely as an exercise. And as a viewer, I cannot tell you how dispiriting it is for me to see no follow-through in the SLs, no evolution. This sounds right to me too--though I wonder how much of Bill's very talented heart was in it seeing as SOO many fo the early years and setup were repeats of his early Y&R
