Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Why does Josh Morrow get to dictate story, or at least go to the press and try to dictate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Joshua Morrow has made it very clear that his preference is Phyllis/Nick, fine whatever, a lot of actors have preferences, however because he's been so dismissive of Nick's other potential pairings it just comes off as a slight against the actresses (Sharon and Maura). In addition, lately he somehow manages to turn every question about Nick into a reason or justification for why Phyllis and Nick should be reunited.

Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 If the ratings keep dropping I hope they will finally cut him loose. Nick is a worthless character and no longer has any ties or relationships with anyone on the show that aren't completely played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I can't agree with that. I think Nick, Victoria (but I want a recast, Amelia just doesn't cut it for me), Victor and Nikki should be on this show. I'd gladly volunteer Chloe, Kevin, Heather, Chance, Jana, NuNotMalcolm, and Sofia though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 And I know on one level I shouldn't take it as JM saying "I don't want to work with Maura"...but I do. And it drives me nuts. Morrow is to Y&R as Ronn Moss is to B&B. STFU, strip off your shirt and at least look interested in what the other person's saying. MaurafreakingWest is MauraFREAKINGWest, two time emmy award winner. At least be smart enough to say, "I'd love to work with her." I had to sit through years of interviews from both Michael Park and Maura where they'd at least talk up the story.

Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 For me it's not either/or - I think top to bottom there's so much fat to cut. I would not get rid of Nikki or Victor, but I think Victoria needs a long rest, as she is pathetic in every way, and that's the writing more than the acting (she is a bratty teenager in a middle-aged woman's body). I just don't see what Nick brings to the show now. Shick are sick. Phick are played out. Nick/Diane seem like filler to me. Cassie is gone. Faith was a plot device and will probably never have anything interesting to do. Is Noah even on the show now? There is something so very tired about the Newman relationships. I think MAB has destroyed the family. For me they were destroyed when they huddled around praising Victor's abusive behavior after Patty shot him. I think Y&R needs to send a message to lazy actors who wait for the writing to cater to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 People, four-plus years in college taught me never to take anything a frat boy, or "bro," has to say seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I guess I'm much more merciless, b/c I definitely believe it is time to phase out Victor, Nikki, Nick, Victoria, Phyllis, Noah, Abby and the Abbotts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think the Abbotts have already been phased out - Jack and Chompers are useless, and Ashley has little story. Phyllis I would slowly phase out, yes. Noah is already basically gone. I would send Victoria away for about a year and send Shick away for even longer, if not for good. I would not get rid of Victor because I think he is too important to the older male demo that is still with Y&R. I would just change the writing for him. I would keep Nikki mostly because I think she is central to what Y&R represents - evolution and regression, a class system, self-destructiveness and self-respect. She's a fascinating character and she has survived more shi!!y regimes intact than almost anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I dont get how or why Meggie is wearing that red lipstick. I didnt know they let make up in jail. I also dont understand how Meggie keeps making statements like "break me outta here" and stuff to that effect on the prison phone. Aren't those phone lines tapped? Its just lazy storytelling with lazy writers. MAB and Hacks need to go. I hope the ratings keep falling. Is it just me but does it seem like some storylines are confusing or go with which ever the way the wind blows? And why is Sharon's hair so frizzy?

Members aMLCproduction Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I didn"t even know Noah was still on here. What was the point of brining him back if ur not going to use him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I actually think it is a slight against the other actresses in this case. I haven't read his most recent interviews, but in the past his reason for wanting Phick is that he has so much fun working with MS. If I have to pick between Shick and Phick, I do choose Phick, but I don't give a damn who is having fun on the set and who isn't. It's a job, not recess. The sense of entitlement rankles.

Members Vizion Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 THIS is what I really don't understand. It's like Sharon Case takes a ballooon and rubs it all over her head right before she goes to tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted March 11, 2011 Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 I like Meggie too (and Sean Young in the role as well) ..from the beginning also I don't understand why age up Noah and not use him what is the point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
