Members y&r_fan Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Patrick Mulcahey was listed as a story consultant on B&B today. Is that new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 4, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted November 4, 2009 Woah, yeah it is! If Brad Bell started listing to Patrick, B&B could get very good very soon. I wonder if he told Brady to try to get Sarah Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thought so from the get-go. So far Mulcahey was always heavily involved in Susan Flannery's stories: Stephanie's faked heart attack (which he brought as a bouquet when joining the show) and the recent stroke story. He was however never given consultant credits and just wrote most of the scripts. Wonder what it means now that he's being called consultant. This could really get good...

Members Chris B Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 If we've been seeing his stories already then "meh," but this could potentially be good. B&B has a lot of elements to be successful already there, they just need good long term story. Hopefully he can bring that to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I still don't quite know why Daran Little was brought to an American soap, much less AMC, which has nothing in common with the British soaps he wrote for. He was best known for stories about gay men, especially young, confused gay men, and AMC has not had one of those since 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Holy [!@#$%^&*] Hell! YES YES YES! Brad Bell wants to save his show! If he is smart, he will take Patrick's advice! OH GOD! I can't believe he promoted him, even if it IS as a story consultant. There is a God! EEEEEEEEEEEEE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm willing to predict that was a.) luck and b.) the stars aligning. I'm not saying that Pat didn't put in a good word for Sarah, but I think B&B was looking for a name from the beginning for the role. I can only hope so. Mulcahey is a brilliant writer and if given the opportunity, the show would be way more ensemble and way less Brooke/Ridge/Taylor/Stephanie all the time. Thank God Brad Bell woke the f*ck up! Even if Mulcahey is just a story consultant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well, since Jerry Birn retired, Brad probably needed another consultant and knew that Patrick has contributed tons stories at SB, GL, and GH. I'm happy Patrick got a promotion at B&B, hopefully, this is the beginning of B&B getting more balanced and entertaining. It probably won't be, depending on Brad Bell's ADD, but at least he's making an attempt to shake things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 That's probably it, but they also seem like friends. There's an exchange between Michele Val Jean and Sarah on Twitter, Sarah tells Michele she'll pass her kind words along to Patrick: Gotta love how Twitter just lays everything out there for the public to see...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Dave Ryan wrote the script on GH today. Who the hell is this? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 This is the role they wanted Gina T for, i believe. Because when she went to OLTL Martha Madison and a bunch of other mediocre somewhat name actress read for the role and then they got Sarah. I dont doubt at all Pat pushed for her and they perused her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 Daran Little responded to one of my tweets. I asked him why he left AMC and if he would ever consider a hw job of an American soap. He only answered the first part. This is what he said: I thought that was cool of him to respond. I am still so curious as to why his joining AMC initially was "off the books" and only after there was probing was his name added to the credits. I know there was a strike going on but I wonder if ABC had greater plans for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's cool. I would like to write to Kate Hall again on FB, but after her sweet yet pat answer the last time, it defeats the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
