Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Eh, what is he contributing at OLTL? The show seemed to go from steady to worse when he joined. Though I know that isn't his fault, and he's good, but he has to show me what's so great about him. Though, like Mulcahey, Johnson is one of those people that could land on any soap writing staff he wants, simply by his name alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I WANT DRAMA, DAMMIT! I don't want Daniel's poisoned paintings, and Adam's mysterious flying saucer, I don't care, I want the worst possible thing happening just before a couple's ultimate happiness, I want twists that completely turn a character around, I want pain that seems inescapable and lots of tears, until a ray of light shines, only to be taken away by a fabulous neurotic jealous villainess, and then some more drama and pain and tears. Where are the soaps???? [/rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Writing outlines? I don't know. But I'm sure he's not pitching any stories. Lorraine loved him. Agnes Nixon adores him. He pitched a lot of stories for AMC, I believe... Wrote tons of story projections for Y&R which Bill Bell used and didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Bwahaha That would explain why his writings had so much sensitivity (at least on AMC) You learn something new every day! He did? Then we should get him back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 The day to day writing on OLTL has been shiteous these past few months. Is he another one that's fallen in quality of work? But does he want to HW? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Isn't Ta mystika tis Edem enough for you!!?!?! Bill treated him very, very unfairly and he left. Only to find happiness and guidance of Agnes Nixon. Who adores him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 No, I want more, SO MUCH MORE I TELL YOU!!! Basically, I want my favorite soap to be good again. I can just see it now: "Hmmm, Freddie's good... too good. What if he proves better than me? Gotta get rid of him!" Muahahahahaha 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 Frederick Johnson's first job in this industry was story consultant. You don't get to have that as your fist job and on a Bell soap if you suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sally did, JER consulted at B&B during its first year, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Actually, I'm pretty sure JER's sense of slow pace, boiling build-ups, keep-the-beloved-couple-apart, and general desire for a very specific style of dialogue were quite appealing.
