Members sheilaforever Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Is it that HARD to give someone like NATALIE MINARDI SLATER a shot head-writing or co-head writing??? She is still young and rather cheap (as this is surely one top credential for SONY...) but was classically trained at Y&R and at least knows how to plot stories!!! Yet, they demoted her and she's probably gone with the new hack regime as they keep hiring sh*tty fellows. This show is really hitting it hard - this is gonna get really bad...

Members dm. Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Exactly. The expression 'it can not get much worse' does not apply to Y&R. It ALWAYS does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 This thread makes me want to cry. Why are they destroying my once-favourite soap like this? Why are they trying to turn it into a sub-par product from another network? Y&R and Bill Bell mentored so many people through the ranks. How hard is it to get these people back? Producers with actual talent? Writers who know the Y&R history and ethos inside out? I don't think JG was as horrendous as some say he was, but his sense of Y&R history did not stray far beyond the LML years. Passanante or Guza... Jesus. I can't even process what these two would do at the helm. When JFP was initially hired, a lot of people on SON (with truly the best of intentions) told me this was the best thing to happen to Y&R. I fear now, as I feared then, that it may actually be one of the worst. I love this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LindaTNo1 Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Is Jill Farren Phelps a bully? Does she think she is God's gift to the Daytime drama industry? Is she so protective of her own career at the expense of shows/cast? Eric Braeden and I suspect some of the other longtime cast are not happy too.

Members Ann_SS Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 So JFP strikes again. I wonder what the creative differences were. Not that it matters they are both horrible. JFP probably wants her pet sucky Burton to get more airtime and is upset that the African American characters are getting so much airtime. Eh, Y&R's ratings will continue to thread water and sink with JFP in charge, but as long as she reduces the budget Sony will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Always hated JFP with a passion ! If Guza comes on board, for the 1st time in 25 years, I will no longer watch Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Griffith's contract was up and he was probably forced out. That doesn't mean that JFP will stay long term. Steve Kent is aware that she's a polarizing figure with a mixed track record. Under her brief one year tenure, Griffith left and Stafford quit. It's been a very turbulent year. They may give Jill another six months to turn it around with her headwriter of choice but it's a valuable franchise and Sony got rid of Latham fairly quickly. MAB stayed but she had come in as ficore and may have had some guarantees in her contract, plus she's in the Bell family, so who knows contractually what Sony, CBS and Bell productions have in the contracts regarding who controls what. At least there's movement. Everyone realized that Griffith wasn't working out. That's step one. He hasn't destroyed the show, it's just comatose.
