ROFL he isn't the second coming. But he is a very good writer. I always liked him. He seems like a good fit for AMC so far. We will see how well he is after awhile.

I'm not trying to be negative. I like what I'm hearing but like I said the Frons factor looms too large for me.

Oh I have NO doubt B&E went fi-core to save their asses and to bide some time. It wasn't because they loved the show, that's for darn sure.

I'm not even watching and even I feel like Pratt has more respect for this show, the characters and their histories the McTavish and B&E combined ever had. While that doesn't mean I trust him completely, he'll earn it with me if he pulls off one of the storyline's that's spoiled...I don't feel the same sense of constant "Oh god, what's next?" dread, that I did with the previous to head writers.

This sums it up for me so far, but then again alot of writers start out good and then fizzle........

Well Pratt and Frons are friends. Sooooooo maybe Frons will let Pratt have some freedom.. Anything is possible.

Interesting about Pratt--maybe he is approaching the show more like Santa Barbara? Cuz it doesn't feel liek Melrose or Titans (lol) or GH to me... I didn't watch much SB (I wish I did) but I know the show, like AMC< was notorious for having clever writing, and a mix of strong romantic stories with outrageous campy characters and humour--although SB I've heard often had a nasty edge to its humour that AMC never had.

I thought it was pretty obvious that "Crash" was a McTravesty, because B&E didn't start until about a week after the crash.

From my understanding, Frons wasn't impressed with B&E's long-term projections past this summer and asked for other input. Being a former colleague (and likely friend), Pratt volunteered a "bible" that impressed the hell out of Frons. So this is probably why it seems like Pratt knows what he is doing right now...as many have mentioned, I'll hold judgement for 6 mos.--1 year. When the "bible" runs out, we'll see... I was very happy with McT's first two years of returns (pretty much up until Madden Mess and Baby Switch Resolution). I thought, for the majority of the time, B&E were dull. Right now, I think Pratt is interesting enough to stay entertaining, but entertainment will not hold on with nothing to grab onto. We need solid characters and storylines, and then we soap fans can pretty much buy anything, right? Ok, maybe not Hayley's poison tatoo...

Eric, I would pay money to see Alden's "horrible" bible.

Ok, maybe not Hayley's poison tatoo...

ROFL ROFL I didn't have a problem with that storyline.
