Members Paul Raven Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Good question.Rex and Katherine didn't really have much story at that point.Gina was strictly back burner by this point and I think they were support to Danny.I guess Bill felt Katherine was more interesting by herself.

Members soapfan770 Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 I wondered about that but then again after that story Katherine didn't have a storyline for a good two years after that other than minor bits like housing Dina briefly and Kurt Costner. I wonder if there other intentions that didn't pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 From what I understand, Bill DID do all the breakdowns for both shows while B&B was new and being launched, but then slowly gave over more of the reigns to others. Sylph doesn't seem to agree, but Bill Bell was DRIVEN. Kay Alden was hired in late 74, so for the first year and a half, he wrote Y&R BY HIMSELF, and Lee was basically a story consultant and sounding board, as I understand it, she wrote very little actual dialogue. I'd love to see someone TODAY write a 30 minute serial ALONE. But the structure of the show was easier to write in the 70's, you just had the prologue, then acts one, two, three, and four.

Members Paul Raven Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 So I wonder how far things got with SSH as Stephanie.i wonder why she wouldn't accept the lead in a bell soap.As Julie,she had been one of the soap superstars of the 70's.He had brought her onto Y&R so obviously they had a good relationship.

Members lovely_m Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 May I ask a question? Why was Kevin redeemable, but Patty isn't? Other than different writing regimes. Patty: She ate a peanut butter cookie and kissed Summer which put her in a coma and made her special. Kevin: Gave Lily an STD. If the writers were to write this, maybe even one reason as to why she has cancer now. Patty: Killed Zapato. Kevin: Inflicted the chipmunk and Gloria on us. Patty: She set in motion the events that would lead to Colleen's death. She did what Kevin failed to do. Kevin: He trapped her in a freezer and set the resturant on fire. When Patty did her bad things she seemed to do them on a whim with the exception of killing Zapato, but when Kevin planned all his nefarious deeds with the exception of the chipmunk.

Members Sylph Posted January 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Lord, this show sucks! It sucks so much, it's unbelievable. How can you be such a lousy writer and have so much disrespect for your own show and your own family?! OK, I can understand someone is bad, but this bad? This much misogynistic, sick and perverted? It's hard for me to grasp it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Someone undid the criticism of MAB on her wikipedia profile.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm sure it will appear again in no time... Gotta love how Maria and her henchmen are out trying to salvage whatever is left of their dying reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Maria has also never, at least not so far, been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. Someone needs to edit that out of her Wikipedia profile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 According to Michael Fairman, he has an upcoming interview with Maria Arena Bell and Paul Rauch.... Should be interesting to see what other LIES Maria has to tell and how much more her arrogance gets in the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I hope DAYS steals her, if this is true, maybe she'll actually get some decent material again. Y&R has wasted her and she lost that spark she got while she was at B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
