Members soapfan770 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Did someone really suggest that about Bell? Somehow I don't see any truth to that. And yes that article I linked was wayyy over the top in its MAB worship and JFP but I found it amusing because the writer might be MAB's only defender.

Members DRW50 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 MAB said that about Bill Bell, that he couldn't have coped with the criticism of the Internet era. She also has Carolyn Hinsey. So she'll always have free drinks at Blondie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 The thing is there is nothing to dismantle. The show is worse off than ATWT WAS WHEN IT WAS CANCELLED.

Members soapfave06 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wow. Do you have a link to when she said that? I just have to see it with my own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 In regards to Case, I want to know, age aside, how is Grambo worse than Stalking, Kidnapping Fetus Burner? Screw her and her hate for MAB. Filth is filth, and I don't care if one is younger and thinks he's the best thing since the microwave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eric83 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 What happened to Nelson Branco's list of cast cuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Internet criticism is more direct, but fan anger has always been there. Y&R was known during most of Bill Bell's era for having fans who were usually very patient and not interested in one big couple or one big story or one big character. Only in the last 5-10 years has this changed, and MAB did nothing to make it better. She pitted fan bases against each other, she antagonized. He's waiting for final word from Kristian Alfonso.

Members soapfan770 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Funny thing was Bell did write the show well into the internet era and even if he had been able to keep writing into the 00s I highly suspect he would have handled the net quite well and criticism with class and dignity unlike others as he had done the first 25 years. And Bell admitted his mistakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 Of course, FOJ extraordinaire, Linda Dano, had something nice to say about this. http://twitter.com/L...933159096147969 @LindaDano The wonderful Jill Farren Phelps takes over as Y & R's Exec Producer. Jeanne will luv her, she appreciates talented actors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 I don't think JFP's role for Linda worked out very well, but I wouldn't mind seeing her show up on Y&R briefly. Not going to happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 30, 2012 Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 I like Linda, and it used to be said that she was the only soap actor friends with someone at all the soaps, even before ABC tried to shoehorn her into all their soaps...
