Some people had to see Y&R everyday under Rainbow Hack LML. I stop watching after people got fired & she got rid of the old writers. & others like me must have stop watching because her ratings went down after awhile. Both LML & MAB needs to give up writing they have done nothing.

I think it's funny how chastized MAB is. I remember the hatred for LML. I personally think they are both awful and would not pick either. Both bred awfulness during their respective reigns. Maybe they need to hire Charles Pratt away from Frons at ABC or better yet, Bob Guza.

MAB did correct a couple of things during her tenure, Jill and Kat as mom and daughter but it's amazing how just a few months ago, Y&R seemed to be on a more creative upswing. Not great but better. Maybe I was fooling myself.

Evey time LML was interviewed she constantly talked about changing this or changing that. She obviously didn't care about the show Y&R was from its inception to when she took over. She wanted to mold it into something else, and she freely admitted it.

Maria and Company on the other hand? They constantly talk about how they're doing Bill Bell proud and how their show is classic Y&R, when it's not. They intentionally hide behind Bill Bell's legacy to manipulate viewers. The show is unrecognizable, but unlike Latham, they won't admit to it or to changing the core story format of the show. They think this mess is what Y&R has always been like and should be like. They're really living in denial.

I don't like either

I don't know if MAB is persuaded by Sheffer and Hamner but it is not good.

LML was not better, she has preposterous storylines, changing idenities and we all know who was who and that couldn't have been done, what we saw the history and there was not time for it.

MAB is still carrying the Art storylines to, ENOUGH. mad.gif

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.

    • I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!
    • !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      , Facts! I would like to see something like that in Daytime. Both of y'all can back up off my husband! Tomas couldn't shine his shoes.
    • Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.
    • Bill attempts to use Smitty to send a veiled thread to Martin.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.
    • I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry). 
    • Bill and the performer are the strongest male character and actor on this show.  Yeah, how I see it too. you pair your best young female with one of the weakest screams sabotage to me.  I like this idea, it doesn't make things too predictable. I would buy that!
