Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Kristoff St. John has spoken out about the lack of direction for the Winters family, how he actually preferred Lathanm's writing, and how bad this Adam/Rafe story was/is. http://www.welovesoaps.net/2009/08/y-kristoff-st-john-speaks-out-about-y.html St. John also had a lot to say about what is wrong with the storytelling in daytime (stories aren't current and topical) and specifically brought up the Adam/Rafe story on Y&R.

Members dm. Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Oh poor Kristoff, you won't get any with this writing regime. I am glad the actors realize that they have a HUGE problem on their hands, but nothing will change. That's not the way the world works. It can only get worse; and probably will.

Members ian Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think he realizes he has nothing to lose but his job, and that would stir a lot of people up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 This was my favourite part: So true, but he was probably too afraid to name Queen Maria and Sargent Scott Hamner too. So glad some people at the actual show are getting pissed off at this regime too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 So, the chipmunk is all Sheffer? And it was, suppossedly funny? God, the man is so right. Too bad Neil will now be brutally murdered and forgotten two weeks after. Don't know what to think about his support of Latham, though. But, she was better than the Trio from Hell, so....

Members dm. Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yep. More actors should try this (unless they're too afraid for their jobs since it is time for cuts now that Y&R has been renewed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 LML wasn't better for the show: she was better for NEIL. How convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 How true... Things are never going to change unless the three hacks in chage of "storytelling" are fired, and fired fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 Latham wrote horribly for the Winters family, but at least, she tried and did write for them. Though, like all of her stories, it was hilariously bad and off putting. This writing regime hasn't even tried at all to write for African American characters. They're all on the backburner and you know its bad when Neil and Devon's last real storyline revolved around Tyra, who has been unpopular since day one.

Members ian Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 He liked her because, as he said, he worked a lot. As long as words are pouring out of an actor's mouth, they're getting paid just to be there, so who cares right? I think his latham love is short-sighted and very self-serving, but his comments about the show in general are very true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 They tried but instead of making them equal to their white counterparts they emasculated & cuckolded them. Which is par for the course in Daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted August 7, 2009 Members Share Posted August 7, 2009 He is right about a few things but I don't think he will keep his job with this attitude. You don't blame your boss like that. BTW, how could he enjoy Lynn Marie Latham? She wrote for the Winters? Yes, the Carmen Mesta mess and Drucilla falling off a cliff. She backburnered lots of other characters. It is very presomptuous of Kristoff not to like Maria Arena Bell because he is not featured much. Kay and the Chancellor gang are actually front burner: it's the game. They were not during LML. I agree with him on other points mainly the fact that the show needs to find its focus back. I know I'm probably the only one but I really enjoy Y&R. There are problems and it could be better but I enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
