Members dm. Posted May 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes, that was an okay episode. I always remember those just because they're like that. A big thing happens and then the episode next is the exact same night, possibly after half the town is off to sleep, and we have these interesting conversations going on. Like I said, only one episode like that every two months. They should at least have one a week, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 B&B is not a good place to measure one's talent, it seems like the type of show that pollutes good writers. You need to see some of his work on SB, GL, and GH. Particularly GL, where I first fell in love with his work. I'm telling you, don't use B&B as a litmus test. I don't need to quote that Nancy Curlee interview again as to what she said about Patrick... And Alden is the one editing those scripts at B&B, so that also speaks to the woman's ear for good dialogue and her editing skills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 But, he didn't use to be, even on B&B.... I could tell which script was his even from the first scene. And then the train platform episode or whatever it was happened a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thank you. 1-2 a week, just to help things slow down a little and be more balanced. Or, even better, make all the episodes a mixture. Some plot, some conversations, and we're all happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I like this post! I am respectfully curious about what brings you to the conclusion that MAB and her team aren't capable? I mean do you have some sort of insider-knowledge about their drafts/outlines/bibles or is this an observation as a Y&R watcher? Every HW has a turkey now and again, but for a while everyone was glowing about what MAB did - how she saved the show. Do her mistakes - and there certainly are many - negate her successes - also which there are many? And should those mistakes be grounds for immediate termination?

Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 RE: Mulcahey... Once you get this bad, in my eyes you can hardly recover... A total off-topic: people are not only talking about how to re-tool the soaps, they are talking how to "re-tool" the Pope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well, from what I hear, ever since Alden joined B&B, she's been very hands on with those scripts, sometimes adding and deleting stuff just because she has the authority.. But also, many didn't like his B&B scripts even before Alden arrived. B&B generally lacks overall depth anyway, no matter the SW. I think Patrick works better on a more serious soap, though SB was quite wacky as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Again, I'm really surprised she has this much authority. I thought his scripts were the best... his dialogue really managed to save a lot of the stories, at least in the particular episode he was in. I would so love to see what he could do script and breakdown wise on Y&R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think you all need to get familiar with this (spoiler alert for Friday's US episode): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRPLxnGuwok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 True that... I think he kinda sold his soul, if you know what I mean.... F.uck the pope!!! :lol: This makes me a little hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Have in mind that Nancy Curlee certainly wasn't going to say: Oh, Mulcahey?! Mulcahey sucked! I hated that guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 But they were close and Patrick helped a lot with those stories, and she gave him credit for them. Guza also credits Patrick's help with many of his successful stories during his first and second stints at GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Not that it's relevant... Is Patrick gay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I believe so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Do you people have anyone outside daytime to suggest? And no, I don't mean primetime, I mean playwrights, novelists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
