Members YRfan23 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 If anyone knows what type of stories SSM was planning, I would loved to read her ideas....I sure they would have been phenomenal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 She's a liar just like the rest. Bootleg Janet Wood will never change. None of them ever do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 JFP has the authority to pick and choose headwriters for Y&R? Isn't the Sony's job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 CBS has some say I'm sure. She didn't pick and choose. She maneuvered an outside pick in front of the others, to ensure the HW would ultimately be one if her people. Makes me think SSM had a shot with CBS and Sony and Phelps went for a name to outfox that selection. Almost as shocking is her wanting Griffith back. Jesus. He wasn't any better with her than Passanante has been. I'm just sad that nearly a decade after these people drove me away from daily soap viewing, here they still are. Stinking up the place. Phelps. Pratt. Griffith. Tomlin. All we need is Hogan Sheffer and Frons and Bob Guza and my nightmare for how daytime ends is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 At the end of the day Sony and CBS has final say though. Pratt's last show was a colossal fail and that was only a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 Can somebody who was a fan of Pratt's AMC and GH work tell me what positives he will bring to Y&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Days22 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 I mean Melrose place absolutely sucks. But isnt his time as Santa Barbara writer considered the best period? I mean SB is completely different than Y&R, but Y&R hasnt been Y&R for the past decade anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 ^ Some posters didn't have a problem with his reign over at AMC and GH, so I'm wondering what type of stories will he write at Y&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 Oh Melrose Place had a couple of outstanding years. I will never forget that wig coming off and how crazy Kimberly looked in that mirror. I'm not sure about his time at Santa Barbara. Was this the period Mulcahey spoke about just after the Dobsons, and the script writers ignored the breakdowns and did what they wanted, totally ignoring the intent if the HW as much as they could?

Members cassadine1991 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 Nikki or Jill could be paired with a younger man old enough to be their son or grandson Pratt was at SB from 1985 to 1990, wasn't he EP and HW at one time at that soap?

Members titan1978 Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 "And when the Powers That Be brought in head writers (after the Dobsons were legally ousted) who didnt know the show or were just plain bad, wed ignore them and do something else. The more of them they hired, the more we ignored them. It was rude and disrespectful, I dont know how they tolerated it (the huge pay-check may have had something to do with it), but nobody stopped us because we knew what we were doing." From Soaptown USA's interview with Mulcahey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't even watch Y&R and this made me nauseous. This ex-GH viewer will pray for all of the Y&R fans. The GH-ification with JFP and Pratt is truly complete. And I see Pratt pushing Steve-O even MORE front and center. Is that possible? Don't know, but I see it. As for Pratt and SaBa, I know he was head writer at one point, maybe late '80s? But Guza, Val Jean, and Mulcahey - all whom would later go to GH, were on staff, as well.
