Members DeeeDee Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Y&R is going to ruin Diane. Even more than usual. Maura will be lucky if she isn't backburnered in 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Remember how excited some were about Stephen Nicholas and Eden Riegel joining the show? Where are they now? Thought so. Maura will get the same sub-par writing that they got, and judging by this current disastrous writing team's past history, her introduction as Diane won't go smoothly.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Who was excited about Eden Riegel joining Y&R? I sure the hell wasnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nelson and the folks at DC were pimping the hell out of it saying crap like how Heather would finally come into her own and how Eden would bring life to the role. Yeah, I'm still waiting for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Billy Magnussen would be more Y&R's speed. He's completely too old, able to spend the winters shirtless and probably have an inappropriate chemistry with Maura to boot. Agreed. It probably would have been interesting to see Maura play an inherently "nice" character. Cringing thinking of who they'll attempt to hook her up with. Y&R does rehearse---it threw Marcy Rylan for a loop when she first started according to an SID interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Oh them.....they dont count....lol....funny now that Maura joined they are snikering at her playing Diane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 The more I think about it, the more I don't like it... I really loved Susan Walters in the role. Maybe I was the only one but I thought she was fabulous...Maura is a superb actress, but Idk if the role is right for her. Nonetheless, I'm glad that she has found work, but she's too young for the role. I'm sure she'll act the hell out of whatever they give her, though.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 I did think of Magnussan. I wonder if Paul Rauch will give her acting tips?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 Better than dreadful Susan Walters, but an odd choice. She's also way too young for Diane lol. She's not even 40 and Diane should be over 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 peopel made the same arguments about Jamie Luner as Liza on AMC last year and she has been absolutely amazing. I dont think age is the issue here bc Maura West and Y&R can make it work with good writing. The problem is the show does nto have good writing and all signs point to this being a mess without that in place to backup this odd decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 The only reason they haven't recast Noah is cause they don't have a young Lead (that's not biologically related to him) but you better believe the minute they do he'll be on Y&R's short list (along with Cosgrove & Pelphrey) Maura would have killed it & she's in the perfect age range for Y&R too (just not for Diane). But unfortunately Y&R doesn't write for heroes/heroines & only pimps their soap poaches for possible ratings bumps. It's sad to watch Nichols look lost when anyone who's watched soaps knows what he's capable of even with subpar writing (HELLO GH). And when you factor in the offensive misogyny of Maria's Y&R? It's not a good move for Maura (even if she wants to remain loyal to CBS). Y&R will do Maura/Aunt Jack/Giggly Heffa (with a little Deacon thrown in) then when Maura's Diane is finished being thrown under the bus for Giggly Heffa she'll be thrown into a backburner pairing with Paul.

Members DeeeDee Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 The difference between Jamie Luner & Maura is that Jamie doesn't have that many contemporaries around beyond ridiculously youthful Darnell/Debbi & MEK. Maura though will look TOTALLY out of place with Mel Scott, Eileen Davidson, Braeden, Doug Davidson & Peter Bergman (who all look their every bit their respective ages) no matter how good she acts.

Members Cheap21 Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 and what about David Canary, Susan Lucci and Jill Larson, whom she's had to act against quite a bit in her first few months (the latter moreso recently). She had just as many of Marcy Walker's former cast members as Maura will have here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 I don't want to watch Y&R but I probably will for Maura That truly is a matter of opinion, cause JL is still awful, her tv daughter and the guy who plays Damon act circles around her and that's saying alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
