Lucci never really complained either but she let it be known about Pratt. AMC suffered from not changing exec producers around 2007 to 2008. I am sad about y and r it shows they want nothing to do with what made y and r a success. Bill Bell would be rolling in his grave. Y and R has such a signature vision really only Bell could write. Pratt is a horrible fit for this show. He fit GH more then this show.

Jean, Shelly, Tracey, MAB and LML were also horrible fits for Y&R

After months of incessant trolling posts about how Pissante is great & is bringing romance galore with great, fireworky story arcs, now Bill Bell is rolling in his grave? Now you say that only Bell could write Y&R's signature vision? What happened to JP? Is she chopped liver?

And, once again, it's *than*. THAN.

And since Pratt is said to have killed AMC, Passanante killed AW and ATWT

No AW was already killed when Jean had gotten there and ATWT she did her best she was head writer for years. Jeans Y and R had some bright spots it was boring but inoffensive. Bill Bell would be rolling over Pratt a stunt Melrose writer coming to y and r. After he destroyed AMC in a way I never saw anyone did. This Stuart killing was the most destructive piece of garbage I have seen. I think Jean didn't get support from Jill. I didn't feel Jean felt very happy at Y and R. She loved GH would always post her happiness with it. Jill should have supported Jean a bit more.

Yeah if you look at GH now, its clearly a bootleg version of THEIR OLTL, it's been like this since they got hired

Rank tweeting about GH's history yesterday as his OLTL pets polluted the entire eppy!

I will say this and I don't wish to be cruel to my SON buddies. Yawny, you are an exception.

You obviously love YR, so when things go as bad as folks are speculating, I can't wait til someone posts daily every hour on the hour "YR IS A HOT BLAZING FIRE. Pratt is wonderful for the show and the network loves him. He won't be going anywhere...". NOTHING would give me greater pleasure

don't forget Y&R is sexy fireworks that is number 1 in the ratings

I think toward the end of McTavish's last stint was the sign of the end for AMC

don't forget Y&R is sexy fireworks that is number 1 in the ratings

Wasn't that toward a certain Y&R addition?

Yep, right down to the music and writers were all taken from OLTL

It's okay people can post what they want. I think Jean P got an unfair shake and if anything they could make her a co head writer at GH as well. Ron owes her alot for his career as Claire Labine recommended in 1996 to Jean to hire him at OLTL. Heck if Pratt surprises me I'll praise him. People can gush whatever they want. I believe he's a poor choice based on his experience. In fact on Soapcentral boards the fans are upset Jean is leaving saying the show is coming together. She wasn't given enough power to create her own vision. Honestly Josh Griffith and Jean would have been great co head writers. They could have been each others yin and yang.

I thought you didn't like Josh Griffith?

Also this ISN'T Soapcentral, I don't know why you are bringing them into this

Jean didn't get an unfair shake. She killed ATWT. Repeat after me, she killed ATWT, her and Goutman did.

Weren't they also AW's last team?

Thank you for posting that. I've been posting that it was Frons, not Goutman.

Excuse me...I almost chocked on this statement. You are talking about the same guy that gave us the Golden Girls a few weeks ago as gay dating and getting it on?? The guy who does that for laughs so he can appear on talk shows to get buzz for GH. Yes he loves, cares for the genre he works for....NOT.

Never said he was good at his job writing one! Just that he is a fan of soaps. I think that isn't opinion. He has spent plenty of time talking about his love for the genre both daytime and primetime, and his love of the Monty era GH in particular. It hasn't made him a better writer. Pratt clearly does not love the genre. He's never been interviewed gushing about soaps. That's all I was saying.

Why are we going off topic again? Whatever Ron and Frank are doing at GH has nothing to do with Pratr period. Pratt is a horrible choice for y and r. Extremely destructive person and ego. Even Lucci came out and said he was horrible. He writes plot points in the worst way. The stuart murder thing was horrific and Erica and Ryan as a couple. Thank god Lorraine came snd saved the day. She was great for amc but frons dumped her for Donna snd David. I don't get why Lorraine wasn't asked as she was perfect outside choice for the show. She has all the classic writing and resume to make it work.

WERE OFF TOPIC BECAUSE OF YOU.

In a way, we (well, at least I) have to be grateful. Y&R was really, really lucky. When other soaps tended to have to go through various regimes and suffered sometimes insane changes in tone, style and quality, Y&R was lucky enough to have one vision, one style, minimally changing quality that varied from good to brilliant and a steady cast for thirty years (the new era in the early 80s notwithstanding since, by all accounts, it was a brilliant changing of the guard). You could tune into DAYS every few years and have no idea what it would be like, it had that many different identities. Same with most every other show, really. Not Y&R. It always had its identity.

And it would have always stayed that way had there not been a deliberate attempt to change it.

I guess I still held hope that they were trying to make it different but good. But I can't excuse the hiring of someone with Charles Pratt Jr.'s "achievements." I can't. This stinks of a desire to gut it.
