Y&R is the best hands down no competion make's the rest look like amature hour. although B&B does show sometimes signs of actually being a good show but Y&R is just as good as any prime time show and can you say that about any other soap? don't think so

This thread has gone completely off topic, some of you need to let these repetitive arguments die, it gets no one anywhere.

That's what I was trying to say.... but got compared to some muppets.....

I don't know - I'd kinda be flattered if someone compared me to a muppet. LOL!

(Because we're not off-topic enough)

Geez, will somebody out there just hire or fire somebody already? Save us from taking potshots at each other in the Directors and Writers Thread

Then, you'd be in a minority. (Take it from one who knows.)

Oh, I'm sure MAB's rounding up more troops as we speak. ;-)

I've been without a computer for a while, but I was wondering...how was Martha Byrne's B&B script? Good, mediocre, average, great? Any thoughts? I haven't watched that show in so long.

Honestly, from what I saw onscreen, it was above-average. I mean, they didn't give her anything earth shattering to write the hell out of, but it seems like new wrtiers on B&B get that kind of treatment.

Dear Lord... What kind of a fuss you made about "drama" is unbelievable... It's not like it hasn't happened before (and in this very thread) and it wasn't nasty, rude and uncivilised. Sarcastic — yes, but I don't think it was disrespectful. MarkH and I have these sort of discussions all the time.

From what I remember, it was good enough. She was unfortunate enough to have to script an outrageously obvious macy's.com pimping scene (even worse, it was with Steffy and Rick!) but I think she had a good handle on the dialogue.

What's to handle?

Ridge: You've already taken one daughter from me, Rick! I won't let you take another!

Rick: Why can't you just accept that what Steffy and I have is real, Ridge?

Ridge: Because, Rick, you're too consumed with wanting revenge against me to know what love really is!

...And, repeat.

When it comes to B&B, I've just learnt to realize that this show just attracts bad dialogue, there's something in the water at the show that just won't let it break free from it.

My dear Patrick Mulcahey is wasted there, but I'm sure he'd hate writing for most of the other soaps anyway.

Probably b/c, he'd have to come up with more than three lines per script.

I dreamt this last night:

I was watching B&B and the dialogue was amazing so I was like, "This HAS to be Patrick Mulcahey's script....it has to be!"

And I was watching AMC and I saw "Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair" credited as the script writer and I was like, "WHAT!!! No way!! What the hell?"

Anyone else ever have dreams about watching the credits? This wasn't my first time.

You're silly. Actually, I've dreamed about show openings, not credits. A couple of years back I dreamed that John Callahan and Michael Nader were each playing an electric guitar during the AMC opening.

That's hilarious! I had a dream AMC debuted a new opening a few years back. It was basically the same as the one we have now, only it was entirely floating live action pictures, and the dun dun dun fit perfectly

Soaps on the brain day and night apparently.
