Members YRBB Posted October 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's that I'm impatient for it. You know I can't wait to watch this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 There are several things I don't understand about this show: 1. Why did Brad never step down as a HW (apart from the obvious, money & control issues)? To me, he has no "chemistry" with this show and I never actually got the idea that he is interested in writing all that much? 2. Why hasn't he ever hired a respected, top-notch story consultant or a co-HW to help him helm this show? He's not blind, he has contacts in the industry, knows the reputations... In that light, if he truly wanted his show to do well, he should have done something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 He needs to step back and just be EP. He should make Jack Smith the HW and Kay Alden the co-HW. Jack Smith (2002-2004) Kay Alden (2008-present) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 This show has so much potential if it would just move from the family side to the business fashion side. As it stands now, they're just a carousel of the same plot points over and over. The foundation of this soap is crumbling. How many times can you-know-who reunite and break up. How many new family members are there to switch? i've given up on ATWT and GL for good - I really would hate to cancel my season pass to B&B too. But all the plots seem like lost Passions episodes without magic and hermaphrodites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 But look, Jack Smith is there NOW, writing scripts. They are among the WORST scripts (see last Friday as an example). Kay is presumably master-crafting all this bullsh*t. It is the WORST B&B has been in 21 years. So, something is seriously wrong..... He is either not letting those two do their stuff, OR they have no "mojo" outside of Genoa City and Bill Bell's legacy. But something is horribly awry. The thing is...Y&R (IMO) was mostly pretty good under the Alden and Smith pens. Yes, there were lame spots...but that was also true under Bill Bell. So I'm not understanding how it can go from "pretty good" to "utter dreck", unless Alden and Smith are not being allowed to ply their trade.

Members Cat Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Great post. LMAO at the B&B = Passions without magic and hermaphrodites. Just give Bell time. I expect Donna to start talking about her XY chromosomes any day now. Seriously, though, if that were to happen, i would actually watch. As B&B currently stands, I cannot bear to watch the characters I once loved turn into mere plot points. Because that is what they are now. No character motivation or evolution or sense of consistency. Everything they do turns on a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bandbfan Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 The hospital set is getting as much air time as the houses these days. And now Jack has three moms, lol. What happened to Steffy?! I didn't even recognize her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 The thing is, it's not too late to turn this show around. The characters aren't *that* far gone - bar Katie. The repetitiveness seems to be locking the characters in a Groundhog Day-esque scenario; maybe it's the familiarity of some of these plots, who knows? But, with the right writing, they can be saved. Saying that, I can't wait around for ever for someone to wake up and realize how cr*ppy, B&B is. I've given it till 2009, and I'm done. ATM, I can't even be called a casual viewer! I have zero faith, so, can anyone recommend another show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bandbfan Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Has it been that short and straight? I guess I haven't seen her since it's been longer and wavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
