Members ajsp35801 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Leslie, while not brought on by JFP, was promoted by JFP and gets airtime. These writers don't do much with anyone. However, I have seen more AAs this past year than I have in 5 with MAB. I totally agree about Tyler. I think that it is a known fact that no matter who is on charge at Y&R, they have no use for any young AA male that can't be paired with Lily. Devon suffers from this and it is why Nate hasn't been brought on. I wish the writers would move on from that fear of the BM/WW IR couple (and no tyler and Abby is going nowhere fast and is all about Lily) or bring on another young female lead (DO NOT PUT HER WITH NEIL like they did Leslie).

Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wow. I'm reading the new Soap Uncensored, which has a great report on this, and the most troubling thing I found is that Steve Burton is the highest paid actor on Y&R and they pay for him to travel to and from Nashville for the show. Just ridiculous. All that money wasted on someone who isn't bringing in any viewers and is playing one of the most forgettable characters in Y&R history.

Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Oh wow. I.just.give.up. There is no hope for Y&R. I'm going to watch some of this Katherine stuff, but I truly am done. Completely. Yall need to purchase this Soap Uncensored.

I'll be back for it's final few months when B&B has overtaken it in the ratings and they finally get it together when it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 See, I don't buy that because why would MS leave if they were rolling out the red carpet for her and offering big bucks? Toxic environment? An environment that MS has contributed to in spades. Months before she left, MS was re-assuring fans that she was still on the show. Her audience was used to seeing her in every story in everyone's face - winning. JFP put a stop to that, so I have to believe that if MS wasn't putting up with anything, it had to be that she would not be dominating the screen any longer. She even admitted that she called AM, and I'm still trying to figure that out. Why call AM if she was not trying to usurp JFP's authority? Carl, I don't believe for one second that there was any BTS stuff that we don't know about. Jill went in and made cuts, and MS didn't like it. YR's numbers don't appear to be suffering w/o her. And this is nothing different from what SBu did at GH. Once he learned that he would be sharing that pond with other big fish, SB decided to leave. Same with MS!

Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 Exactly its no different than what SBu did at GH. MS was no longer top dog and had to play supporting to PB she decided to leave. I don't even know why MS called AM because contracts are with Sony not CBS.

Members alphanguy74 Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 We might as well accept that REAL human emotion in storylines are a thing of the past. Nobody has the patience for them anymore, and nobody definitely has the skill or the will to write them. Good stuff could be done, and be more moving that viewers could possibly know, but none of these hacks from sub-par ABC soaps are going to give us anything good, that's why all but one of the ABC soaps are ALL GONE. I don't think we'll ever see raw emotion on Y&R like this ever again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja6E8hQuFek&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 can we quit with the ABC Soaps are inferior to CBS Soaps?? all three networks had different styles when it came to soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's not about the ABC soaps being inferior, but they are DIFFERENT. NBC, ABC, PGP and the Bell soaps all have their own unique style. Also, they're not trying to recreate an ABC soap at it's peak, they're trying to recreate what was done in the 00s under the Frons regime....things that didn't work. That is the problem.

Members LindaTNo1 Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yes, all three network soaps do have their own styles and themes. It is just that networks today steal/take from each other actors/storylines. It is almost getting silly to see the revolving door cycle of actors making the rounds with the 4 remaining soaps and storylines being copied too.
