Members EastMA2 Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oh heck no. Those 2 are cancerous to the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 No. No. And no. While Bell and company are a train wreck, RC and FV would be much worse. RC only knows one way to drive story: plot, plot and more plot. His OLTL is a soap on speed, absolutely no depth or emotional beats. FV can keep a show under budget, but that's about it.

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 Uh NO. Y & R would be un recognizable, Vets history would be completely changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think so, too. In fact, there's no question in my mind whether RC enjoys writing for this show, or any other. Of course, his OLTL has never pretended to be all things for all people, and I appreciate that, too. It's just his approach -- to OLTL as well to writing soaps in general -- is not what I tend to like where this genre is concerned. Good point! (Jill is a Fenmore? Really?)

Members DRW50 Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think RC loves the idea of a soap but he mostly loves the parody of a soap, not an actual soap. If he loved soap he would not constantly deify rapists and tell people that rape is love. Even Gloria Monty only did that once, not two or three times in a two year period. He would also not have spent the last few years ruining just about every family bond on the show (aside from the Delgados of course). In that sense he's right for Y&R - they've also gutted their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 And that, too, would be fine if his attempts at parody and satire were more clever. For me, that's part of the problem w/ RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think that he probably does have a very darker type of soap parody which he can't really do, so he just settles for the brilliance of HAVE A SEAT STEPNORA PA PA HAVE A SEAT, and the talking beaver. Stuff like the infamous air quotes - that was probably down to TSJ but something tells me that this style is something RC may do if he had a chance on a non-network show.

Members cattykittens Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 This always seems like an attractive option when you first hear it, but the 30 year old Brenda is no more. She has aged along with the others .I'm not so sure he would find her more interesting to write for today. Jess Walton's Jill could be divine with good writing.

Members DRW50 Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 MAB sucks and seems power mad, if rumors are true, but the biggest problem is Sheffer. He pollutes any show dumb enough to hire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 I liked LML's Y&R so they could get worse than her and they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
