Members bellcurve Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 Satan himself? I'd rather keep what we have now than have her as Head-Writer. *BLECH* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cara mia Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 MAB is family so she's not going anywhere. Just replace Sheffer and Scott with Richard Culliton & Tom Casiello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 Sony and CBS could force change on this show if they wanted, I firmly believe so. I'm truly hoping for Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner to be fired soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marla0518 Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 I remember the outrage back in the late 70's when Luke raped Laura, there was a write in campaign and some fools who that turning their TV's off would show TPTB, they did understand the Rating system then and from what I have read they stit do not understand. We can look back now and see what all those hand written letters did for GH, Luke and Laura became the #1 couple on TV!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 So that condones violence and misogyny? Of course it does...you prefer neutered housewife Phyllis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 It's obviously a different era and Y&R is already hitting all new lows in the ratings. The audience isn't growing, it's decreasing. If they want to keep the loyal fans they have, something has to change, and it starts with the toxic vision these hacks in charge have for this show. These writers need to be fired and replaced by competent writers who want to write for soaps and who get what this show is all about. Not sick misogynists who only want to victimize women and showcase their rape fantasies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimTolkien Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 You know as disappointed as I am with the show right now (but hope that it will get better soon)I would think the show, CBS & Sony are already getting pelted by viewer feedback either directly and what they have seen online. CBS & Sony may have already started to step in behind the scenes and that's why s/ls feels so rushed..it's like they want to get whatever was written months ago to die already LOL. I doubt if any campaigns to get any one fired is going to work at this point. I don't want MAB to fail but I do want her to stop tooting her own horn because she really isn't that very good as she seems to think she is..and the soap press only fed that opinion IMO. For a person who says she understand the history of the show and its characters I can barely fathom why she thinks Passions-like stories are welcomed on Y&R or B&B-like stories for that matter. My other suggestion for her even though I love this message board is to stop going to message boards and trying to dig up ideas from them. We may be online and vocal but we are a wee bit part of the overall audience that she cannot see. And she needs to start showing me that she can actually create and invent STORIES on her own preferably original ones. There is absolutely no OOMPH to any of the s/ls on the show. Personally I am bloody mad at her because it took me well over a decade to get my husband to watch this show and she manages to trash that in 7 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 26, 2009 Members Share Posted July 26, 2009 I don't think the show is going to get any better unless Maria Arena Bell & Company are fired. There's been several long-term trends I've observed on this show that have been very problematic for this writing regime and have only gotten worse over time. They're all over the potpourri thread. I don't think she's ever going to stop coming to message boards for her story ideas either. There's no way one can be taught creativity, it is something you're born with or you're not. It definitely shows on the show right now that she and her henchmen are anything but creative and innovative. With the fan backlash, falling ratings, and press attention getting worse for this writing regime, I sincerely hope they can be fired and replaced by better writers and producers. At least then we can say they at least tried to save this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted July 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well it was a waste of my time copying down the advertisers because most just have an online form to fill out instead of an e-mail address for customer response. I e-mailed the Calgary Temple to say that their advertising is contributing towards promoting the burning of fetuses and is it or isn't it Rape scenes, but other than that, my campaign is done. Doesn't matter though, in the last week I've determined that Y&R is no longer salvageable and should just die already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 29, 2009 Members Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sigh. I'm starting to agree with this. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted July 29, 2009 Members Share Posted July 29, 2009 I could care less if MAB stays or goes, just as long as those idiots she calls co-HW are fired. She can handle anything on the show except the writing and bring in someone that actually has decent stories in their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
