Are you sure she isn't already? And I agree with the people that say you can't judge people who write for BB too harshly. I've watched that show from day one and at this point, it just so recycled. I don't think anyone but the head writer can be blamed for how truly trashy this show has become. Anytime new blood is brought on for the writer's to work with they are dismissed within months.

She could make it as trashy as it needs to be, but also fresh and less recycle-y :lol:

Maybe, but I want something mind-numbingly horrible, like stomach ripped, all the insides now around him... he just needs to pay for all that smugness at some point! :lol:

:lol: Chelsea Cain might be even better in that case. I can see MJ turning on Victor and torturing him in the worst ways. Honestly though, I try to stay out of talk about who should write the show because it's something I'm just not informed about. I've never been someone who checks everyday to see who has written what. Until I started posting on this board a few years ago, the only writer I knew by name was Bill bell. I just know what I do and don't like when it shows up on screen.

I wish I could stop looking at writers, directors and such, and just enjoy the show... but I can't....

But I don't want MJ to be there at the end of the show. I want it to be some gruesome, random enemy, who just had enough. I want his family to be sad, but also somewhat happy.

Just watched tomorrow's episode from start to finish. While Cane and Lily are nauseating, it was a good episode overall, and the cliffhanger will shock people who didn't know it was coming.

But I wonder, how the f-uck are they going to explain this? MAB's entire writing tenure rests on this storyline now, this could REALLY break her if it goes wrong.

Very good episode overall though.

OMG. I checked the thread to get some insights into today's US episode, and had to go back at least 4 PAGES to even get something even related to discussing the show. :huh::huh:

Honestly, the show isn't that bad to have all these pages devoted to finding a new HW. If people really feel it's that bad, shouldn't we have a new thread opened to that specific topic?!?!? :mellow: Granted, we are all guilty of going a bit off topic once in awhile - myself included - but WOW.

Y&R is still a good soap IMHO. Great soap? Not so much. Perhaps we should all recognize and accept that the soap writer glory days of Doug Marland, Agnes Nixon, Nancy Curlee, et. al. are gone forever. Accept it and enjoy that at least an attempt is being made, however feeble you may think it is, to restore a semblance of classic Y&R to the airwaves.

Lastly, as far as I am able to determine, it seems that this show is more responsive and sensitive to the needs of it's viewers than any other soap on the air. How long have people been bitching about ATWT, GL and B&B (for example) and nothing has been done to correct the story mistakes on those shows? At least MAB and Co. are trying. :rolleyes:

    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
