Members lmfan Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think this would work Mark because it really did feel like Victor guaranteed those test results would show JT as the father, and now that Brad is dead, Victoria's son will be raised as a Newman and JT could be integrated back into the younger set. As a fan of some of these ignored characters, it stinks hoping, like the actors, that MAB just might find some way to use them on the show. We hear about budget cuts and yet read about new characters being added to the canvas. These actors and their fans are just being strung along.

Members dm. Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wow, so someone actually took time to read it. Thanks. It's how I've been feeling all along, but I'm still hopeful for things to get better. I have no idea why I'm being such an optimist when in real life I'm always pessimistic.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Good luck with the optimism. The flaws of this writing regime have been apparent since they took over, it was just masked with the occasional great storyline. But now, these flaws are still there and they aren't getting better or at least attempted by this writing regime to be fixed. It's disappointing and I no longer hold out any hope.

Members dm. Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah, even then we knew what we were going to have, but November sweeps took us by surprise and I've pretty much loved the show ever since. It was just something that worked at the moment and when they realized they could constantly use history to push story they decided to go through with it. I'm just sad that when it comes to new stories, they mostly all suck: Sabrina's storyline, Tyra and Ana overall, Daniel's art story, River's time in GC... all either new characters or new stories which are not working.

Members classicmoment Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 No more switch paternity twists please, seriously? Is this DOOL now? Are we going to have a paternity issue everytime one is done? MAKE IT STOP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lmfan Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I read it also and thought it was spot on. Of course, I think Michael and Lauren can play a frontburner story once in awhile Still, I am all aboard them being used as significant supporting players if it would save them from being let go and perennial on the backburner. As for your other observations, I agreed with all of them. I would love those in charge to read your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I read the post too dmarex and i'll be optimistic with you. What's the point in being pessimistic about a soap opera anyway? It's a waste of negative energy. I sound like faux David Vickers. Namastay.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 F.UCK OPTIMISM when this show disappoints at every turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I enjoy the show everyday which is why i watch it everyday. I just don't understand why you would watch a show that's horrible and spend so much time talking about how horrible it is. I see lots of good stuff, probably more than most, but I see bad stuff too and post about that too. I just don't get why it's ALL good - or it's ALL bad. it seems like it gets all political party Dems vs. the GOP - and then it gets very talk-radio where everything is either you're for the show or against the show in its current state. it really perplexes me.

Members Faulkner Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 It's plot-driven madness. Victor and Ashley couldn't behave like normal thinking people because, then, Adam wouldn't live to scheme another day. And of course the writers need this sick plot to sink to even lower depths before Adam finally can see his comeuppance (they've gotta string this story out to November sweeps, naturally). It's stupid, and I've checked out. Jeanne Cooper, Jess Walton, and Tricia Cast are riveting. Damn them! If they weren't so great, I'd have dropped this show like I did AMC.

Members classicmoment Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 You and me both for the same exact reason, too much suspension of believability Aren't they though? Love them all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
