Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I should add, I liked the touch-ups Rauch did to the Bauer kitchen earlier on in his GL reign. It was GL's oldest set, I think, and he kept the basic outline but added some subtle touches. It looked like a real, and contemporary kitchen for the late 90's.

I also like the spooky music in this clip. "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 She's the one pulling all the strings, isn't it evident by her new Co-EP status? Don't mess with her, or she'll go straight to Billy and he'll fire your ass. All the writers, actors, and producers know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I hope Rauch brings back sweeping background music that would consume certain scenes and make the even more melodramatic than they already were. He sometimes did this on GL, like this clip between Annie (the divine Cynthia Watros) and Alan (Ron Raines). The scene lasts from 2 minutes in to about 6 minutes. The music gets really dramatic towards the 5 minutes and 40 seconds mark. I LOVE it.

Administrator Toups Posted September 20, 2008 Administrator Share Posted September 20, 2008 I hope Rauch doesn't bring that style of music direction and composition to Y&R. Yeah, it was great for GL, but that's not Y&R's style. I like old school Y&R better, the music doesn't overshadow the scenes, such as: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 The Newman Ranch definitely needs a makeover -it last got a redo in 89! A few pages back ,Eric mentioned Rauch's final years on AW after Lemay left. The show completely lost focus,with constant cast changes. Rauch seemed to sit back and let whichever writer was there do what they liked. By 81,only Mac,Rachel,Jamie,Blaine,Liz,Russ,Clarice,Larry were around from a few years before and only the first 4 were front burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 The music on Y&R usually cosumed the really dramatic scenes to me. Like this one between The Bug and Isabella: Or this one where Phyllis expresses her anger towards The Bug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Oh I DEFINITELY prefer the classic Y&R use of music, unlike the Rauch music which SETS the scene, Y&R's music REFLECTS the psychology of the scene, it reflects the mind and action of the character. While the music in Rauch's work is very grand, the Y&R music matches the characters. Some themes have been used consistently with certain characters for decades. When Jill crashed Kay's party back in '98 the music used was the same theme used under Brenda Dickson's run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 LaGuardia in his soap book claism the cast change over was a prob under Ruach and Lemay as well--because they liked to use fairly prominent theatrical actors, who didn't wanna be tied down to a soap for more than a few years--besides Mac, Rachel and Iris and a few others -- he claims -- the major stories Lemay woudl focus on would be on characters who would change or be recast only a few years later.

Members LondonScribe Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 In regards to the music, it wasn't just the sweeping music, it was the kind used. It's all well and good using it, but Y&R's music makers used to do a supreme job. Over here, we are a few weeks into 2004 (around the period David Shaughnessy left the credits and Ed Scott returned as Supervising Producer) and almost every song used was really good. The music in the years gone by was sublime. So by all means bring back classic, sweeping music, just let it be what we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
