Ah, so modest... :lol:

And Denney and Foster are definitely gone from Days? Surprised that wasn't made more public...

They should definitely get back to Y&R.

Of course that might not part of Paul Rauch's plan.

Does anyone know when Rauch and Bell show up on the credits as Co-EP's and do people think there will be an immediate change?

It's funny, I was reading 1983's SOap World by LaGuardia and they talk about when John Conboy left Y&R (I believe around when Bill Bell finally agreed to make it an hour, something he really didn't wanna do--similar to how Agnes Nixon held out on making AMC an hour I guess) and his replacement EP came in and a few actors joked that now because the lighting had been brightened you could SEE the sets on screen--it wasn't all just a dim haze around the actors glowing faces...

Why should you be ashamed? I think it's great that Fantasia introduced you to it.

I always listen to the Scythian Suite after I'm done with The Rite. Different types of savagery, both extraordinary.

I heard Rauch did a good job at OLTL (In my opinion good job and OLTL no longer belong in the same sentence :lol: :lol: ). I'm also very much enjoying Young and the Restless right now. There were a lot of things I liked about JG, but Young and the Restless did have a major summer slump. It starting getting better with HS and I had thought HS had run out of gas until he took over the show.

One positive thing JG did in my opinion was the re-emergence of Adam. I like the character. I like the way he is being written now better. As someone said in a discussion on PM (I don't want to take credit for someone else's statements even in private discussions), Adam reminds me of Kevin on OLTL when he was being written by JG.

I think Young and Restless is good right now so whatever changes are under way work for me.

WAIT...are the Denney/Foster departures confirmed??? I knew Scott had left, but I wasn't sure he was taking his hires with him.

I see little hope for them all at Y&R. Rauch isn't going to want to hire people loyal to a former EP...especially not his "production" side.

I see more hope for them at B&B. B&B is trying a new production style, and maybe skilled directors could help with (what now) seems quite amateurish.

But B&B is so bad, so flawed, so awful, so destroyed, so circling the drain, so ruined, so unwatchable, so hideous...and it has fared SO badly with all of the Y&R transplants (Smith, Alden, Heather Tom)...I don't think more Y&R hires will help. They seem to lack the emotional distance from Brad Bell to slap him and help him to see the flaw/destruction/ruination/unwatchability/hideousness of his show.

Therefore, I think these people may need to leave daytime.

Yes, neither were in the updated credits Sony printed, and they were there before with Scott. Some of Tomlin's hires made the list, but obviously some of Scott's fell off.

Since Sally McDonald is now lead of directing at Y&R, she could push for rehiring them. She has a long history and relationship with them, and they'd be working for her most likely, not really Rauch.

No, unlike Griffith, Maria knows that she has no technical producing experience.

      I don't think he ever gained much traction on GH. He should have stayed with The Doctors. Was Mark just a toned-down version of Nick? Were they basically the same character?

      All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.

      I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.

      Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.

      This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.

      She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

      Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?

      Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.

      I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
