Members Soapsuds Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Tonio is dead. Douglas Marland killed him off. Awwww,,,,I liked recast Caleb...Graham Winton....lol.... It was Ruby. I actually liked Ruby but the storyline was bad. The actress had potential. When Roger took over as Paul .....my love for him ended. Paul was never the same again. Roger Howarth has and always will be playing Todd Manning version 2.0 on ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Great videos! I've had always wanted to Tonio's fall again. Although I don't think this was the last of him, I seem to recall he eventually showed up again very briefly the following year to stir the pot with the Hughes family and then fled town.

Members Soapsuds Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I thought he did survive the fall but later held Bob and Susan at gunpoint as they performed surgery on him but he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 That's pretty much what happened actually, although I seem to recall 2nd death was written somewhat ambiguously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladyceejay Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 Now that big black cloud is hovering around Y&R! Wish it would go away!...... and take PR with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 Can writer have a mid life crisis? Hogan sound like somebody that don't want to think he aging. So he write for the younger set. You know like when older people date younger people & dress young to deny they are getting up in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 And yet his writing for the youngest set is often terrible. I thought he did well with Emily for about a year or two, I really liked her with Hal, but that seemed to stop. The next story I remember for her was the big lust with the Chris recast from the Initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I keep forgetting they recast him. I skipped a lot of those years. I guess by the time Ben did return for a while, Hal and Emily had split up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saving ATWT Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 After Marland's death, ATWT was a mess and it was Sheffer who (somewhat) put it back together. I have little doubt the show would have been axed far earlier if it had not been for him. Post-Sheffer, the show went right back to being [!@#$%^&*] and DK's "I shot my brother" story doesn't count. Sheffer wasn't perfect at ATWT, however, he made the show steady and there were ratings gains. I wish he would have done more with Lucinda but I liked his Rose story: basically, no writer will please every fan all the time. As for his work at Y&R, no one knows for sure what stories he pens. All and all, the show isn't all that bad now and, most importantly, the ratings have not dropped. I think the average viewer is pretty desensitized to classic story as in the sort Bell wrote. TV has changed so much in the last two decades. In the 80's, viewers loved subtle shows like Cagney and Lacey; today, however, it is the blood and gore of CSI that brings in ratings: I have no idea why this is the case but twisted and jaded best sum up today's typical TV watcher. Why should soaps be any different? People seem to dig pathetic Patty's kiss of death and Ashley's burned up baby or, it would seem, according to the ratings. I like Latham's Y&R better than what we are watching now but won't deny that Patty on the loose is campy fun. I floved the manner is which she yells at Emily's painting and is trying to killed Dr. P with a pillow. No, this is not emmy worthy work but can be a good in small amounts. There are far worse hacks than Sheffer including Brodrick over at AMC and Bell on B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
