Members Sylph Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Of course. A 150-year old woman is still running the AMC business and is secretly writing it. You didn't know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 All I'm saying is IMO, things are happening at ABC Daytime that hasn't been made public. ABC wouldn't be doing all this stuff for AMC for nothing. AMC was the first soap on ABCD to reach number 1, GH may have held the position longer, but AMC is a much more critically acclaimed soap and can easily be repaired with the right people in place. With this move across country, the controversy with Pratt, something or someone went over Frons. With names like Lorraine Broderick and Wendy Riche floating around ABCD, something is going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think a lot of the opinions change as time changes. Wheeler and Kriezman were praised for their first few years at GL. Around 2006 and 2007 that started to seriously decline. The people who liked their early work probably still do. The people who thought highly of Carlivati's early work as headwriter probably still do, they just haven't been as fond of what he's done since summer or fall 2008. Sheffer was actually quite lucky -- he was praised to the skies for his ATWT work. Then when the show started to suck, a lot of fans were willing to find other people to blame besides him, they claimed that somehow his true vision was being stifled. The same happened at DAYS -- oh, he can't be to blame, it's all Corday's fault, or it's the budget's fault. Only at Y&R, where he has repeated the same awful stories for the second or third or fourth times, has some of the hype really started to fade away. I guess you could say that new daytime writers are defeated by hype they can never live up to. I do think that it varies depending on the writer.

Members bellcurve Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Uh, yeah...Wendy Riche is coming back to daytime. As a second in command. Sure. Yeah. I'll get behind this. I liked their 2006. Their 2007 was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I know, I don't believe it until it's confirmed, Maybe she'll be a simple consulting producer, like she was at PC until the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Perhaps she's in a financial crisis and will take anything to re-fill her funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Daytime Confidential originally reported this: http://daytimeconfidential.com/2010/01/10/rumor-report-is-wendy-riche-returning-to-abc-daytime And they've been VERY ACCURATE with their AMC scoops as of late.... Hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah. The first post says it's from DC. Third paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I didn't read after the first paragraph. It's funny, but DC has developed somewhat of a credible track record lately. Remember when they used to intentionally spread false rumours for hits?

Members marceline Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm not going to apologize for wanting new blood. Hell I want new soaps but I'm not going to get those either. I'm tired of seeing the same names make the rounds and bringing us the same stories. I'm to the point where I don't even want to see rerun of writers I liked. I loved Malone but I don't really want to see him as HW at another soap. I'm not familiar with Riche so I have nothing against her. I'm just tired of seeing the same thing over and over.

Members Sylph Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 It took me a while too! Yes, they were infamous! And then all of a sudden they started reporting about Griffith etc. But I think the Shelly Curtis news goes to Kubla Khan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Gloria Monty might have had something to say about that last sentence. The glory years?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 And that touches on my question. What is it that's expected? Is the "new" writer(s)/producer expected to bring something new and fresh to the show or are they expected to do what the old blood did? That's where the contradiction resides for me and why I asked for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
