Members Taiah Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 Neil and Sofia were horrid the first go round. I'm not gung ho about Neil and Leslie but atleast AC is able to do sex scenes. KSJ won't have to do all the work with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 Which is saying a lot, when you consider that English isn't his first language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 Actually I think people who speak English as a second language know the grammar better. When I was growing up European students would always visit my church in the summer and they knew English grammar better than me because they paid closer attention to it when studying!

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 Production designer Bill Hultstrom and Jessica Collins talk about Avery's apartment set. It seems like Josh and Jill were very clear on what they wanted with this set and how they wanted it to look. I doubt (and know) Maria gave any thought to the production when she was there, which is why we got atrocious sh!t like GloWorm and Billy and Victoria's house. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f9dy6bdnDnI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think she knew what she wanted...she just had grotesque taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 How is this the same set designers that created Billy and Victoria's house? That sh!t was ALL Maria's terrible taste. The production has improved tremendously on the show. I think JFP deserves ALL credit for that. Even the background music people complained about a month ago is barely that noticeable now. If only she had a more dynamic HW so the stories were more interesting...

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 The new and old music is fusing together better now than it did at first and it actually adds to the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 If we can't have Alden or Smith back, Griffith is the next best thing. The show can't always be gripping, edge-of-your-seat drama with twists and turns and OMG!!! cliffhangers, or you'll wind up with the kind of show MAB produced. In its heyday Y&R was known for long periods where nothing much happened but the dialogue and character moments made it worth watching. And I think the current team is doing a great job with those things. Ideally I would like Jack Smith to join Griffith as a co-HW. He did a great job of modernizing the show last time he was there.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 If JG amps up things too far Y&R would turn into Sunset Beach. While I liked some parts on Sunset Beach other parts were just really bad. http://www.welovesoaps.net/2012/11/young-and-restless-backstage.html#more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm surprised Angell Conwell and Catherine Bach were there. I hope this means Leslie's role is being expanded. As for Anita, I am stunned that the new regime has kept her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 I forgot to say that I actually did enjoy the video - it was informative and insightful and I appreciated getting to see the extra details. I usually don't watch these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 Says who? While I can't say anything Griffith has done has been as destructive as Maria/Hamner/Sheffer and Latham, there's just no real "pop" to his stories. Maybe it's still too early in his tenure, but it's not like he's had the most spotless track record either. And I'm fine with that as long as I feel the build up and stories themselves are worth full investment - right now, I don't think much has potential to give me a big payoff a few months down the road. Character moments are great, and I think Griffith has given us a few since he's taken over - but I need cohesive stories that I feel are going somewhere too. It doesn't matter, I don't think anyone is in it to tell well-structured stories anymore (not that we'd get that from a Smith/Griffith team anyway).
