Members Cheap21 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Daniel wouldnt know but Brady most definetly would as he was involved in the story when Chloe's prostitution was made known to other people. That in and of itself never was made public and only a select few knew what she was doing. Oh for the f--king love of god. I thought this John plot ws done and over with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted December 28, 2011 Administrator Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well changes have been made (re: Noel's firing). Unfortunately, we won't see the changes until February/March because DAYS writes so far in advance. Also, sometimes you need the right combination of EP/HW. The combination of Maxam/M&D wasn't working so Corday decided to fire Noel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 This filming 3 months ahead crap is killing Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 they should have gone on hiatus for 6 weeks at the end of the year to catch up to a more plausible filming schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jane1978 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 But isn´t Greg Meng the EP responsible for creative direction of the show? I thought Noel was just responsible for the visual/every day supervising of the production. He never even did any interview while Meng was there with MarDar all the time. He even said he worked along with them on the outlines. The stories which should have been MarDar triumphant enter on the scene and hook both new and old audience again all failed. So I think it´s little naive to hope the next bunch, done under much bigger stress and with Corday getting restless and new ratings low reached almost weekly, can be better. And more importantly, if Corday waits with MarDar´s dismissal till summer when I assume their 1 year contract ends the new HW will have only minimum time to change fall and the fall numbers will either make or brake the show. So keeping them is a huge risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I think Meng is no more than a yes man and I assume he and Maxam combined made up Tomlin's salary. He said he took feedback from the book tour to drive the changes but I would have preferred seeing what Tomlin could have done with a new writing team. I think the show might have more drama with him at the helm. The new ep does have experience with slow pacing so maybe she'll be able to help.

Members detroitpiston Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 This regime needs to work on pacing and resolution. The stories are decent but they feel like they drag on forever and then they end in the most lackluster way possible. I'm only enjoying the Kate/Madison/Sami story (too bad Ethan Brady's annoying ass is being shoved into it), Will turning into Sami 2.0, Carrie and Rafe connecting, and nuAbby possibly going after Austin. Couldn't care less about whatever the hell Alice was hiding, John and Marlena's bullshit with the Dimera's, and this half assed "triangle" with Jack, Jennifer, and Dr. Primetime Reject.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 MarDar arent impressing me. The show is about nothing. I ff through most of today's show. John pulling out a gun on Stefano....I rolled my eyes...how many times can this story be done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtru1981 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sorry that blame shouldn't be maxam's, these new writers just plain suck and should be fired! Noel had to work with the garbage that was handed to him. All the story's that have to been told has been alter crap and a slap to fans and its history. Worse part the new EP is from Passions, so when we going to start seeing floating heads and ports opening to hell. The show is so boring and bad and all the credit goes to these new crappy writers that have no clue what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I still dont get why Maxam was fired. He wasnt technically the EP of the show like someone else mentioned. The problem with the show is the writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtru1981 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yes the problem of the shows is all due to the writers and Ken Corday. You have a bunch of hacks that have no clue what they ate doing. This show is doomed and I be VERY suprised if NBC keeps it after 2013 or even doesn't cancel before that. The ratings are WAY down and the fanbase is mad! If these new writers only have a year contract, DUMP THEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was never a fan of the show but I did catch it from time to time. As much as I found Reilly stuff out there at least it was entertaining and very watchable. And today's show they again mentioned how Bo and Co knew what to do crap again....the scripts are going nowhere ....same repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 What I don't get is that Maxam was hailed as hero when these changes were first implemented by many, and now that's he's fired, many are starting to blame him for the problems on the show. I'm sorry it doesn't work that way. MarDar were hired to write, and so far, they've failed at doing basic storytelling. It will be four months into their tenure soon, and nothing has happened and the show is as rudderless as ever. They aren't even building stories properly, they're just stalling. Lisa DeCazotte isn't going to change the fact that MarDar do not know how to build and execute stories. And frankly, nothing in her history backs that up. She was merely a yes woman for JER at Passiions, as that was his show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
