Scott Hamner Says Y&R Is NOT Doing A Gay Story


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Scott Hamner told SOW that Y&R has no intention of telling a gay story and that making Rafe gay and having Adam seduce him was "never actually a gay story." They won't be exploring anything with gay characters for the foreseeable future.

So, one must wonder, why the hell did they make Rafe gay anyway? Also, they seemed to have dropped everything regarding Phillip III, and since Hamner says Y&R is not going to be doing a gay storyline, what was the point of all this nonsense anyway? What was the point to making both Rafe and Phillip III gay if this was not going to be explored?

Once again, it seems like this hack writing regime in charge of running Y&R made Rafe and Phillip III gay to create some "shock" and "awe" storytelling that had no substance whatsoever. They hyped this like hell to the gay press and made the gay fans watching this believe that they were going to be "represented."

Also, didn't the Queen Hack herself, Maria Arena Bell, say that they were in fact going to to a real gay storyline for the fans who wanted it? How quickly things change, right? :rolleyes:

That's the exact quote in the article...

Thanks to Kenny at DR for making this info known...

Thank You Kenny.

And than you Scott Hamner for confirming what we knew was going to happen all along.

Hate to say it, but "I told you so."

Gotta wonder why Slammer is saying this instead of Maria Hell. Maybe because she wants Slammer and Heffer to be fall guys when the rest of her summer and fall bomb?

Yep. How's that McDouble everyone?

So, MarkH, what about that redemption arc? Alphanguy, what about that comeuppance in the form of a kiss?

C'mon, come out of hiding. I wanna hear your thoughts on this!

I guess "The Rafe Torres Story" will be put on hold indefinitely.

So, I wonder who's the bigger homophobe? Engen, for refusing to kiss a man, or Maria Bell, for using and exploiting the gay audience into tuning into her hack written show?

She's pathetic. I can't believe this woman even worked in the political scene. Can you imagine what a nightmare this woman would be if she were in charge of the state of California? In charge of this country? The gay issue aside, all of the wasteful spending, the lack of direction and focus, her horrible treatment of minority issues, not to mention her misogyny and lack of understanding issues and stories from a female point of a view.

She should just turn in her ID Badge and just spend the rest of her days shopping at The Grove.

I can't beleive this was the same hack writing regime people wanted to give more time to. These people LIE all the time and they never learn from ANY of their mistakes.

I'm interested in what alphanguy has to say, since he really wanted a gay story and had faith in this hack writing team to deliver one.

Maria Arena Bell = Lies, nothing but lies...

Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner need to be fired already.

If they make promises that they know they can't keep, then keep quiet! It's not like they've shown any talent in recent months, Y&R is a complete mess at the moment, and its these same liars that are running it into the ground.

Remember when Maria said this summer was going to feature characters that haven't been seen a while? Remember when she said Y&R was going to get back to basics? Remember when she said more character-driven and emotional storylines were going to be told?

Y&R's writing team truly = Empty Promises, Poor Storytelling.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
