Members ajsp35801 Posted January 3, 2014 Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 She really can't play a heroine.,,it's almost embarrassing at this point. Either make her crazy or send her on her way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 3, 2014 Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well, her daughter is no longer amongst the living. Maybe they will use that to do something with her if her fall off her rocker with Connor isn't her exit story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 3, 2014 Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 KSJ still adlibs plenty of his lines. I think BJ does it too sometimes. I have heard him say things that I don't think was written (him calling Hilary "girl"). As for code switch, they need to be in the boardroom and shown working to be able to do it. It's a fine line between what some consider truthful and sterotypes. DM tried it and it was a major fail. She took it way too far in her attempt to have Yolanda totally different from Angie.

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 3, 2014 Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 Agreed. For some it makes sense, for others it would not. Devon, yes. I don't know enough about Hilary to think she would. ETA: it's not necessarily slang, but dialect that I think Faulkner is talking about by the way.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hearing lots of talk about the exterior of the Abbot mansion being shown. Was that on Thursday or Friday's episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thursday, the one airing Jan 2 in the United States. And it looked AWFUL, like some CGI mockup of a house that doesn't get the Abbott mansion right at all. At least when Y&R did the exterior shoot for Mac & Billy's wedding at the Chancellor mansion, someone in the production team clearly killed themselves finding a house that was bang on what Katherine's house would look like.

Members sheilaforever Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm sure they stole this from the Sims or sth. like that. It's embarassing (as a screenshot it looks etter than on TV though LMAO!). JFP is truly a great producer... Good to know that no one even bothered to look at the Abbott mansion set (the front door!!!) before finding this gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 It looks like it was Angelica McDaniel's idea, she was the one talking about it on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 According to her Twitter account the Chancellor mansion is getting an exterior to be revealed on the US Monday episode. The number of times Angelica McDaniel (who I actually like and think is a refreshing change so far as daytime execs go seeing as she appears to take some pride in her work for CBS Daytime) had to reiterate that it was the Abbott mansion just goes to show how bad this mock up is. And I do think they tried with the front doors themselves...it's just that the rest of the front facade of the house looks absolutely wrong, for one thing there isn't a window in the living room facing outward, that wall has a doorway in it! As well, the house isn't symmetrical as the door leading past the stairs goes towards another hallway. Just wrong in every way because it is so standard and cookie cutter. Had it been an original (even original in the bad sense) design, it would have been harder to argue, but this one is just a failure based on simple geometry.

Members ChitHappens Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 If YR is trying to match BB in exterior shots, they need to go back to the drawing board. Not even close! Two different states and climates but still. There are tons of landscaping to capture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hopefully they will use the one from a few years back which they probably won't. On this occasion I want to mention that in the late 90s the show sometimes used exterior shots like randsom green shots to illustrate THE RANCH but there also was MGM Tower from Culver City (???) doubling as the Newman Enterprises Headquarters... But those real filmed shots like they use them on B&B. As for Angelica McDaniel: she does truely seem into her CBS programms which is a good start and I appreciate it. The holiday programming with 1998 episodes is also a reason to thank her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think Angelica has good intentions but still. She should watch some classic episodes to understand how things are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 The shot of Forrester Creations is pretty bad. It looks like some white house in the suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 That's what I thought immediately when I saw it! Why is this exterior show so bad?! In 2014? A film student on a meager budget could've made it look more realistic. There's no excuse for this, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
