Members Nate4 Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would fire the HWs and replace them with Guza. I would get rid of the boring ass theme song (Im going to get hate for this) and replace it with a more modern theme. Get rid of Stitch, Tyler, Leslie, Avery, Courtney, Devon, and Ian.

Members Khan Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would literally BEG Kay Alden and Nancy Curlee to come and work together as HW's, possibly w/ Meg Bennett, Lorraine Broderick, Stephen Demorest, Jim Houghton, Frederick Johnson, and Trent Jones among their writing staff.

Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 Had to laugh at this one: "JFP knows how to run a show just as well as any EP... she just needs the right tools to work with." SERIOUSLY??? Who do you think got rid of the music, lighting, sets that made Y&R unique among the soaps? Who do you think hired hacks head writers to steer the story, and directors who don't know Y&R's style?? Who do you think brought in actors/actresses who were friends of hers from other soaps who stick out like sore/talentless thumbs on the Y&R canvas. The person the EP of Y&R should fire is herself. Or better yet, have the common sense to realize she's in over her head, that she's made a mess of this once great soap, and should bow out! No, she's not entirely to blame. She's got Steve Kent and Angelica McDaniel weighing in too. But Jill Farren Phelps needs to go for all the above reasons and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 I love this list! I would also clean house with the writing staff and get Kay Alden back on the team Rebuilding the chancellor family with Phillip III, Chance, Jill, Brock, and Nina. Bring in one or two Brooks sisters we need a doctor who is a main character so hell bring back Nate, Olivia and Casey Reed Victoria will make a return after a few months off the canvas with Gina T in the role. I would also reintroduce Dina Abbott and a redeemed Patty Williams with Marcy Walker in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 Frankly, Neil, I don't believe anyone could redeem Patty. She's done too much damage. You'd have to explain away her actions either as the work of an impostor, which doesn't make sense (why would anyone care to impersonate Patty Williams?), or a brain tumor, which has been done to death, both on Y&R and other soaps. And then there's always the suggestion that Carl molested Patty as a little girl, and you KNOW longtime fans would never go for that, lol! The more time passes, the more I think this show (and we) are ready for a re-emergence of the Brooks and Foster clans. You couldn't bring them all back, of course, nor could you bring them back all at once. If the two families were to return to GC, they'd have to be weaved in with the rest of the current cast, in ways that would appear organic. Off the top of my head, however, here's who I would love to see return: 1. Chris Brooks Foster 2. Leslie Brooks Prentiss 3. Lorie Brooks Hollister 4. Dr. Snapper Foster 5. Greg Foster 6. Dr. Jennifer Foster (Chris and Snapper's daughter) 7. Charlie Foster (Snapper and Sally's kid, formerly known as Chuckie Roulland, he took his bio dad's name after Snapper told him the truth about his paternity -- which happened, offscreen, sometime after Liz Foster's death) 8. Greg Foster 9. Lance Prentiss (perhaps John McCook performing double duty -- on-contract on B&B, and recurring on Y&R?) 10. Brooks Prentiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't have time right now to type up a list of actors, so I'd start with firing the current showrunners and bringing in Kay Alden, Jack Smith, Ed Scott, Marnie Saitta, and Jack Alloco to bring back the classic look and feel of the show, and give them carte blanche to develop as they see fit. Of course, I have my dream lists of characters I want back and recasts that need to happen, but good writing and directing could bring out so much even from the current cast. Alden and Smith weren't the best, but they were the best we've had since Bell, and Scott and Alloco could bring back some of the good lighting and music. Saitta was a good casting director who discovered talent rather than just stunt casting. Obviously, a big part of this would be SONY having to take a hands-off approach. I swear, Bill Bell should have put in his will that he was leaving Y&R to a trust after he died with really specific instructions on how the show was to be run. He was always so against running the show by committee, and had a plan to groom people to take over the show when he passed, and it was just completely disrespected by SONY and CBS.
