Members LondonScribe Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Some of the music from that period was extremely haunting. There are a fair few full episodes from the 70's, 80's and 90's online ( you know where) and as you said, silences mixed in with carefully selected scores made scenes very powerful. Case in point, March 7th 1991 is online. This being the episode where Nina shoots David Kimble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 YES! I rewatched that a few months ago. My hair was standing on end throughout those scenes. Not only was it well-paced script-wise (giving us something to tune into every segment until the final pay-off), but the other great pay-off was Nina telling Kimble that she knew exactly what kind of person he was, and wondering if DK was going to talk her out of shooting him. The mix of silence with slow-building spooky music racheted up the tension to the nth degree. Cinema-worthy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 MAB's used obnoxious music over everything it ruined certain scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 I would LOVE if she pulled out the piece that is at 4:45.... one of the best and creepy background pieces ever done. I DID hear the one at the end of Today's episode, and I don't really remember it, either... but it was lovely. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah, I mentioned that last cue used in today's episode in the scene between Nikki and Victor. It felt like an old Y&R cue, but I don't remember it either. I wonder if it was a new cue JFP had done for this episode, since she oversaw post-production for this episode.

Members alphanguy74 Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yes, after you mentioned it, I made a point to listen for it... and I don't remember hearing it before, either. If it IS new, and a preview of things to come, it makes me feel WAY better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 I thought MAB's use of music was very Lazy. It seemed as if she thought that the music could create an emotion where there was none in the writing. Had she not been fired, I'm convinced she would have done a series of episodes in total Voice Over from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 I remember the odd backwards epi. Which was even stranger since DAYS did one earlier that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 New characters are usually needed when a new writer takes over. Sometimes a catalyst is needed and nobody on your canvas is fit for the story, especially on a show full of flat, wooden, useless characters. Disastrous decisions have been made with the Abby character from day one- her conception! Making her 30 when the story of her conception & paternity played out for 2 years at the turn of Milennium? Playing her against an 11 year old Kyle, who was conceived in the exact same storyline.....that we REMEMBER? The thing about being #1 is you have a lot of longtime viewers watching....so to insult our intelligence by aging a character 20 years before our eyes? She's a mess and needs a rest. As for being a JFP apologist....I prefer to consider myself someone who has actually watched Jill's work for 27 years now, so maybe JFP realist would be more fitting?

Members DaytimeFan Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 +1 to all of it. Right on the money. And lest we forget that Abby was played, memorably, by Darcy Rose Byrne, a very skilled child actress who stole many scenes ("I OWN JABOT!" being the standout)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McF0VlZqiUI And yes, a JFP realist is certainly more fitting.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Was she the same one who told Victor that he was her father? I loved that little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Marcy Rylan ain't got shyt on Darcy Rose Byrnes. I strongly believe they made a huge mistake SORASing when they had such a strong actor in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 Teen Abby was horrible and then recast with MR was even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 How old were Nick and Victoria when they were SORAS-ed? Were they much older than Abby when she was SORAS-ed? I can see why they aged Abby, but she should've stayed a mid-teen. 30+ year old MR was totally miscast in the role, which was pretty poorly written anyway.
