Members YRBB Posted February 7, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 Which is why I made the comment about how important conversations are. The plot twists are 10x more exciting and interesting if they happen to people you care about, and watching them talk about their feelings and thoughts goes a long way towards achieving that and building to it. Soap writers lost track of that. LOL Welcome to the world of soap boards. That happens every time. But, really, though, we've seen conversations on this show before and almost none of what happens now actually applies. LOL WTF with CW. DT and SC look hawt. AH ...

Members rhinohide Posted February 7, 2014 Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 Isn't CW older than the others? You sure can't tell from looking at her. She is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 AH looks like the oldest one in that pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 She is brilliant. She conveys a lot of tension and inner turmoil with little dialogue and only her eyes. YRBB, on YouTube they have these Y&R episodes from 1975 featuring the Brooks. Long scenes full of psychological depth and intent. The actors and the music convey a world of story and unsaid feelings, especially between sisters Lori and Leslie. It is truly the best thing I have watched today. Almost cinematic, which is weird because the studio confines are small and shadowy. Sigh. On the upside, yesterday's scene between Jill and Billy was rather moving.

Members rhinohide Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 That's when I watched Y&R. Snapper and his brother. Do not like David Tom but loved the flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 I thought that crappy music would leave the show with MM. C'mon JFP, that is annoying. They really need a better music dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted February 8, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 Exactly, and it seems back then it was when it was arguably done best. Of course, the show managed to change and evolve while keeping that signature psychological exploration up until the early 2000s. Until someone decided it wasn't good enough, I guess. They had a great music department until they got rid of them.... I wasn't going to say it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 Bwah! I did a double take at that weird looking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why does everyone in the picture have personality captured except AH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's called airbrushing and a lot to boot. I love CW, but she's had a hard few years. DT/SC both look good that's all that needs to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes...and you didn't have everyone sticking their fingers in the pot trying to add their two cents. Isn't doesn't it say it ALL that 95 percent of viewers feel Y&R was at it's best when Bill Bell had total control and called all the shots, and perhaps the most celebrated and anticipated soap on the air today is Downton Abbey, where one man writes the show BY HIMSELF and doesn't have intereference from network brass. WOW, I wonder if there is a lesson in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2014 Members Share Posted February 8, 2014 Downton Abbey has been derided for a few years now. I think even Bill Bell knew he had to have some help long-term, which is why he had Kay Alden and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
