Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Amen. Not a great way to endear yourself to a soap audience. His "youth" and inexperience in the genre may well come back to bite him in his pompous, egotistical a**. Kinda hoping it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 And we all know what a rousing success Hollywood Bites was. One season only. Be glad your friends Jill and Josh got you a job at Y&R. Doubtful you could have done it on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Most of his Tweets are of a similar sardonic/condescening tone, whether personal or professional-related. You get the sense that it's another washed up writer who moved to LA in hopes of making it in primetime and film, and had to "settle for less" by doing a soap. It was only ever supposed to run for 80 episodes being a telenovela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I wonder if he knows Tom Casiello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I assume Sally Sussman Morina (who I can't stand for other reasons) is also on her way. But at least she has some experience with this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Just curious. If a telenovela is extremely successful, do they bring it back for additional installments, or when it's over is it totally over, and hose characters and situations are never seen again?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sometimes (very rarely) there are sequels or spin-offs, I believe, never actually a continuing format after the telenovela itself has finished. They always have a beginning, middle, and end and typically run for about 65-100 episodes (sometimes more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 No, it always has a planned amount of episodes. It can be extended for more episodes, but pretty much always it is followed by a loss of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Seems like Boyd was predominately a playwright for most of his career: No surprise he might look down on soaps, most playwrights typically do, even if soaps were once the closest thing to theater than any other acting medium. http://www.theatrem.com/company.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 The more I learn about him, the less I like him. But I am sure he and Hoagy will get along famously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
