Members DrewH Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm not familiar with Paul Rauch. What does this mean for Y&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hmmmm. I'm glad Griffith is out. No comment on Rauch. From what I've heard, he's bad. Reaaaaaly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 With a strong writer, he does wonders. His period with Harding Lemay surely enters the Top 3 best soap opera periods ever. With Maria... It might spell trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Manny Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 This is from wikipedia... Controversy Rauch has become a controversial figure among some soap fans. * His production stints at One Life to Live and Guiding Light featured sci-fi plots such as cloning and time-travel. * He has also had some conflicts with several of the actors on the shows he has produced. Ellen Holly, who played Carla on One Life to Live for nearly two decades, wrote in her autobiography "One Life" about how Rauch told Lillian Hayman, who played Holly's on-screen mother, Sadie, as she was walking to her car after a day's taping that she was fired and that she had just taped her last episode. Several other actors, such as Maeve Kinkead and Lisa Brown, have had strong personal or professional differences with Rauch. * He fired three very popular actors from Another World in 1975: Virginia Dwyer (Mary Matthews), George Reinholt (Steve Frame), and Jacqueline Courtney (Alice Matthews Frame). The death of Mary Matthews was particularly shocking as she was the matriarch of the main family and her death occurred on Good Friday. Fans and critics were outraged and Courtney responded several years later to outrageous comments made by Rauch about herself and her former peers at AW.

Members Greg's GL Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 His beginning tenure at GL wasn't half bad. Then the wheels fell off...well, it was more like a tire blow-out going 70mph on the interstate. I really really hope that Sony/CBS is able to reign him in.

Members DaytimeFan Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 Joan Collins loved working with Paul Rauch at GL and she has high standards, so he's obviously not a complete [!@#$%^&*]. Wait and see, he's a 'strong' EP...but I don't know if he's the 'right' EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 Y&R was Masterpiece Theatre. Paul Rauch is late-stage Dynasty. With floodlamps. I believe he made a very large contribution to the downfall of GL by making everyone and everything look and act as tacky as possible. During his reign I could count on turning to CBS and seeing nothing but orange, yellow, and Kim Zimmer trying to look hot. So I never turned to CBS.
