Members moila Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ok I just got this from my source about what is happening with MTS. Bascially SONY wants Nikki to be put on recurring status but Melody wants to stay on Y&R so she is unhappy about that. Even though MTS resigned with Y&R this summer, Sony wants to change the details of her contract. They are negotiating at the moment with her. But Melody does not like what they are proposing so she may not be returning either after Nikki is written out with Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ask your source does (s)he know when is Hamner's/Sheffer's contract up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members moila Posted October 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well I can tell you that CBS wants MAB out! they do not like her writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 This wouldn't be much of a surprise, sadly. They have phased her out for well over a year now. I'm sure they consider it an honor that they might let her show up every so often when her kids have yet another big event. What do they think of Hogan and Rauch?

Members Cat Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 This worries me -- the fact that Bloom would want to install her ABC or GL friends as HW and EP on Y&R. Ellen Wheeler as head writer anybody? She's got spunk and will work her ass off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Everybody feels low! Everybody feels high! (cue shaky shot of Vamptoria) Oh, look! International business mogul Victor is digging up the yard behind an abandoned hut. Aka "the Newman ranch." Lonely for Nick, Sharon goes looking for battery-operated "toys" and wanders into the nearest Sony retailler. Adam hangs out in a church for no particular reason. Irony!

Members MarkH Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Praise be! Great question! I believe that. It all feels vaguely apocalyptic. The DOOL approach--clean house--oh well. You people are killing me. Can I threaten you with violence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 This would actually be a more healthy storyline for her than she's had in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Would it? Last time I checked, Sony doesn't sell vibrators. I doubt their DVRs could achieve quite the same customer satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SouthOfSoap Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Are they only allowed to recruit from Port Charles? From Toups' archive: So its between The Cullitons, Essensten/Brown and Karen Harris. I'm sure Essensten/Brown would be the favourites after their *stellar* run on AMC, and vouched for by JHC, Babs' close friend. 3rd time lucky (to kill the show off)?

Members Chris B Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Honestly I know it won't happen, but I wish Jack Smith and Kay Alden would return. I don't think the show is going to have any luck with all these outsiders. They've tried twice, once radical and once with someone closer to the fold but still new blood. I feel those two worked on the show for many years, know how to write a soap opera and understood the way Y&R should be written. I also think they'd do better now that a lot of the heavy work has been done for them. MAB/LML haven't showcased the families well, but they have brought back many characters so there are solid family units to work with. Smith/Alden did write families well so they could help tie the loose Chancellor, Abbott, Williams and Winters family members together. Both also were great for minority characters which is an area missing. I'd love Deigo and Raul to return as well as the Winters.

I think people forget how great the show was looking when he left. He did amazing things like Devon's trip to the zoo many were confused about. They didn't know if it was location or studio. And I LOVED Sharon and Nick's fabulous plane crash which was brilliantly executed. Are those scenes on YouTube? He also is the best one to deal with this budget crisis considering what he did at DAYS. He made that show look AMAZING on a tiny budget, so lord knows what he would do here. I also wouldn't mind him at AMC, but that show is just dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 We would return from an era of blood, murder and psychopathy to an era of sperm, weak women and the underuse of veterans. So not really much of a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
