Members Vee Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 Since at least 50% of her 'story bibles' were nonexistent fanfiction she made up on social media on the fly, I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 20, 2014 Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 I can't imagine Pratt sicking around for very long to be honest, as soon as he gets another ABC Family or primetime consulting project, he'll be out of there. The damage would have already been done by that point though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RomeAt50 Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 This is probably not good news for Y & R. His stint on AMC started off as entertaining and he wrote Erica well at first. But he had no respect for the show's history, pointlessly killed off characters and the writing was very misogynistic.

Members cassadine1991 Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 tristanrogers @tristanrogers · 6h I want to welcome Chuck Pratt Jr to the Y&R family. He'll fit in just great, since that's what's been happening on Y&R for the past 9 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 Brad Bell has gone after Y&R before, and been turned down flat. The Bells aren't getting their hands on Y&R ever again. Brad has only ever had disdain for the CBS executives, he disregarded any notes given to him, and he wasn't subtle about it. Karma is a bitch! And while I'm not of fan of his storytelling, he would still be better than Pratt. Good-bye Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 They are definitely two different talents, and a very rare few have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 When did Brad go after Y&R? Was that after MAB was fired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 Pratt sucks, but Sally Suckass Moron-a would not have been great either. How the folks at DC are parading like she's some savoir and talented writer is hilarious. Generations was a boring mess, her DAYS stint caused the show to drop from a steady #2 in the ratings if I remember correctly, and she consulted on much of the Sheila's botched return to Y&R in 2005 (the poison necklace nonsense was her idea). I think there's a reason Bell never hired her again after she left for Generations and she didn't come back to the show until the final days of Jack Smith...

Members BetterForgotten Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 The Bell's have had no idea what to do with the show after William senior left this Earth, that much is clear. The fact that they let Maria run this show for nearly 5 years of mismanagement is proof of that. Her ass wasn't fired until Steven Kent at Sony had enough of her nonsense. They ruined their chances with this show after the Maria Arena Bell debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days22 Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 It was still #2 or #3 in the ratings her entire run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 I remember the show dropping to #3 during that time. I think by 1999, the show wasn't consistently #2 anymore as it had in the years prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Days22 Posted September 21, 2014 Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 Days had already lost rating with JER still at the helm by the end of 97. B&B gained ratings into 99 so its not like it was a monumental collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
