Members CSF Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 Could be, that way they can take all of the actors names out of the opening. After all, it was EB who insisted they put the actors names in the opening when CBS started the practice of those nasty "squeezed" credits in 1999.

Members BadZoe Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 These producers and writers will say anything to get fans off their backs. 'We're planning on updating the opening, we're going to have a gay character featured', etc, etc. How many years are we supposed to wait for these bozos to act on their word.

Members MarkH Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think it might be as simple as this, at this point. If Braeden returns, their new opening needs actors' names. If Braeden doesn't return, they can skip actors' names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 If Braeden returns, he will want a special guest spot at the end of the opening, after the main title appears, it will say: "The Young and the Restless... starring Eric Braeden as Victor Newman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 We'll probably have an opening of Rauch putting out a cigar on a photo of Bill Bell, MAB hanging a painting, Hogan smirking, and Hamner doing whatever Hamner does.

Members DRW50 Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 That's good Then we'll have John Abbott, waiting to take us into the soap hereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yeah, John. Or maybe Bradsicle, Zapato....lots of spirit guides to choose from! Or maybe Cassie will simply prophesy our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 God, I hope not. The opening NEEDS actors' names. Take away the actors' names and what's the point? I just meant that they're waiting for him to re-sign so they know whether or not to include him. (Not that I believe for one second that he won't be back.)

Members MarkH Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 To quote Braeden, "I'm an ornery bastard". I honestly believe that if they try to cut his salary mid-contract at this point -- for the principle of the thing -- he'll stay away. The man is in his 70s...he neither needs the $$ or the adulation at this point. And here's what'll happen...it'll be the same as Rowell's Dru. With every passing month that he's gone, more and more of the audience will realize that something fundamental has been lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Braeden would be a MUCH bigger loss than Rowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
