Members MichaelGL Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been thinking alot lately about how it would be if Jill Farren Phelps came to Y&R, in light of MAB's reign of terror on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 ES seems to be very unhappy whenever Viki's on the back burner, which of course seems like an obvious statement, but a part of me is like, "You've been busting your ass on the front burner for damn near 40 years, enjoy your light days!" And naturally, she seems to love love love whoever's running the show when Viki is front and center, regardless of what craptasticness is going on with the other citizens of Llanview. All of those FOJ seem to have that in common, "Well she was always wonderful to ME", well you know, that's great, but when it's YOU getting the shaft as some of your castmates become the new EP's little darlings, I don't want to hear it.

Members MichaelGL Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well I've been contemplating this idea since the production quality for Y&R has gone down in spades,(Have you seen GH lately, it looks better than Y&R right now.) which is a no brainer considering who is producing the show next to MAB. Like WorldTurner, I think JFP would excell if paired with a capable HW like she had on Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I agree, but don't we say that about every EP, "If they were just paired with a strong hw..." We've been wishing this FOREVER. Oh, and yet another thread that turns into a JFP bash. I thought we were talking about Claire Labine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 I remember reading a quote from Peter Bergman, saying that he thought OLTL (during the JFP/No-HW era) was an adult, sexy soap opera. Wasn't the majority of the Jenn Rappaport Show during the Gary Tomlin and Broderick/Whitesell teamwork? JFP was gone by 2001 and infected GH by the height of the Jenn Rappaport Hour. No, nothing really. Found Harding Lemay's interview much more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah, Jenn debuted at the very end of JFP's run at OLTL, it was Tomlin/Whitesell that forced her down everyone's throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I wonder how much money is wasted running these focus groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks. I'm glad she realizes that she helped the character of Olivia. I guess they didn't have plans for Holly/Olivia after all? That wasn't mentioned in the interview. She was much more fond of the Edmund/Beth story than I was. I liked them more when she was Lorelei. That's interesting about how hard she pushed Billy/Holly/Buzz. At the time I think a lot of fans dismissed it as trying to dump all the vets into one story to save time.

Members Ann_SS Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I loved DAM as Edmund. The Edmund/Beth romance and his close relationship with Susan and Lizzie were the best. So of course, GL gets rid of him in favor of the horrific actor who played Richard. This show made mistake after mistake over the years. This is why I didn't blink when it was cancelled.

Members Faulkner Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 This interview's kind of a snooze. She was much more candid when I heard her speak in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeGoldy Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think the interview is great. The only frustrating part for me is that Claire has forgotten the character names and actor names, it kind of reminds you that it's a job to her and doesn't mean as much to her as it does to the fans.
