Members rangethatrover Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 Today was SO GOOD. I can't agree more, Traci would make an excellent matriarch on this show. Smartest thing this show could do would be to get Beth M and Tricia C back, on contract. I would have gotten both of them back before this Stacey Haiduck chick.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 Everyone is so quick to give Maria Arena Bell all the praise. She is doing a very good job but she has a good team behind her. I remember when it was Bell/Griffith the show was boring, disjointed, dull and went down the ratings decline. As soon as Hogan came in things improved but things really really improved when Paul Rauch took over. During the Latham days the show's glitz and glamour were all gone and none of the women could wear anything with diamonds. As soon as Paul Rauch took over the execution of the show is fabulous. It looks so expensive and so lush and so fantastic. Rauch is executing this show fantastically. The show has never looked more expensive and Rauch is old school soap. He is executing the Bell vision extremely well. As soon as Sheffer and Rauch joined Bell it seems like that is when the show started firing on all cylinders. IMO this is a match made in Genoa City heaven. My only suggestion is to bring Ed Scott back to the show in any form and we got Y&R old school for years.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 It's amazing what a good crier Sharon Case has morphed into, it comes so naturally to her these days. I remember when she first started on the show, she was one of the worst criers I'd ever seen. She used to make these weird hand movements and hit her hand on her head and stuff, just to cry. She's really matured in her acting over the years, the same can't be said for Joshua Morrow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 AMEN. He has not gotten much credit, and deserves it. I don't think it was a coincidence that old Y&R musical scores (really old, classics from the early eighties) started reappearing soon after Rauch joined.. That Nelson Branco interview said it all- Paul said it is his job to translate Maria's (and HOGAN'S- even though the vision "IS ALL HERS!!!" lollllll) writing to the screen. They got an old school producer- match made in heaven for Y&R's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 LOLLLLLLLLLLLL NOT TRUE- God I love that house though!!!! For some odd reason they don't highlight that awesome staircase in it- It used to go through the livingroom or something- I cannot explain it. It had a very cool angle and it was very majestic. If I could take Viki's kitchen from OLTL and attach it to Brad's house on Y&R- that is soap opera set heaven. No, today was really good. But I am a sucker for Tracey, Ashley, clips from old Y&R, and a damn good cliffhanger- And the previews sound really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Very much enjoyed today's episode, although why is Jill not at Brad's? She's the one who hired him to begin with. It would have been great if she came, since they remembered that Lauren and Brad go back. There is another fantastic Lauren and Traci scene. I agree with those who think Traci should return as the Abbott matriarch. I haven't felt that she is needed until these seamless, history mining scenes of late. Kudos to MAB for making this week a knock out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Did Stafford's acting seem Jeanne Cooper-ish to anyone else today? When Phyll was rationalizing was Nick slept with Sharon and why it didn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Michelle Stafford has been rockin' it lately. I haven't enjoyed her since she was a homicidal psycho back in the '90s. She's getting great lines, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rhiannon Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've been enjoying a GloHo free Y&R, I'd LOVE it if they could just ship her off to prison for a long while...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Not to mention Nikki, Gloria, Kevin, Daniel, Phyllis, Victoria, Ashley... Luckily most of them were salvageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rhiannon Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't think Abby meant that she wondered why Noah couldn't save himself, to me it seemed like she was wondering out loud why Brad couldn't have saved himself. I don't think she knew Noah was standing right behind her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
