Members DavidsMuse Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 ^ No, that was Richard Culliton. LB debuted David, then she laid the groundwork for VI's long-term return before she left in late '97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 And the whole Anna and her twin stuff was under Passanate wasn't it? When we had such classic characters as DogBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Excepting Rayfield and Cascio (and then McTavish and Pratt, who are on a whole different level), I thought Passanante's run was AMC's nadir. Alex, Gillian's death, the reality show producer/black ops assassin, Anthony Addabbo Dimitri, Gabriel the dogboy, the apparent plan to give Edmund Anna Devane as a consolation prize for losing Alex, you name it (thank God they came up with David/Anna). Plus endless storylines which seemed to revolve around all the hunks lining up to impregnate Liza when let's face it, she already looked pregnant. It was just lame as [!@#$%^&*] on so many levels.

Members All My Shadows Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I remember this! I remember one of the websites had a gorgeous picture of La Barr with "This is how Brooke's fans see her." Then, there was a picture of like...some kind of scary, winged creature with multiple heads with "This is how we see her." Funtimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've never really watched AMC much being the ATWT fan than I am I do remember Broderick's tenure. It was ok, not very good for the most part. Sure there were some good moments but not that many. Too many anti-climaxes, continuity blunders, and plot-driven stories. Having Kirk and Sam just vanish was such an odd plot twist especially since Sam's daughter Georgia had just come to town. It could have been an intriguing mystery but after like two weeks everyone stopped caring including Georgia and Lucinda. Yes too much Molly as they paired her off with every guy and then had her crash the wedding we fans had been waiting for, Holden marrying Lily as played by Martha Bryne. James/Lucinda didn't work. The transformation of David into Reid didn't work. Brad Snyder didn't work. A messy and uneven tenure if you ask me. Broderick, FMB, and MADD had all just come over from ABC and I don't think they fully grasped what ATWT(or GL for that matter with B&E) were.

Members R Sinclair Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 The cheap sets and horrible lighting currently are one of the MAJOR flaws in this woman's "production values." You continue to believe that myth that she "revitalized" the show. McTavish got rid of them both. Keith McClean. I remember him. It was Opal that was made the bigot in the storyline. James Mitchell wasn't comfortable playing homophobic, or so the legend goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's really important to make the best impact that they get Ed Scott as EP immediately. His work on Y&R hasn't been touched since he left and he did wondered at DAYS. Just look at their Emmy tape which rested solely on him. He also brings talent with him so not only will the show look professional again, but we'll have strong actors cast in roles! Giving DAYS Marnie Siatta was such a gift. I'm still pissed she's not at Y&R. She cast so many great actors there and has proven at both shows that she knows how to cast for the show. Scott also focused on performances at DAYS and was really a big part of the current success. He may have had problems with Sheffer being a mediocre writer, but he made up for it in other ways. If AMC goes to LA with that same ole hack or replace her with Lisa de Cozette then it's a waste of a trip. They should've just moved them to a dungeon in New Jersey.

Members Sylph Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Big problems with Ed Scott are: 1. Disrespect for WGA rules. 2. Questionable story sense. 3. Reportedly being a j*rk, egomaniac and control freak (in a bad way). Huuuuuge, massive problems that eradicate many good things he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ed Scott did a great job but, yeah, some of his traits may be too much of a problem.... Wasn't he the one who insisted that Donnelly is ousted? I think I'd prefer Shaughnessy to come back... he did some fantastic stuff with the show.
