Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 14, 2016 Members Share Posted August 14, 2016 Rumors are Pratt is exiting at end of his contract. My dream duo is Shelly Altman and Kay Alden. They both have head written YR with great success. Kay was at YR many years and was just incredible. She old school and Shelly did a brilliant job writing after JG. Traditional mixed with modern flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 14, 2016 Members Share Posted August 14, 2016 I want you to be Y&R's new HW so you will stop pimping Shelly Altman all the damn time. (But seriously, IDC. Y&R will never be the same.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 Id love Kay back or even Sally Sussman Morina. Someone who has history with Y&R. I hope Mal has a say in the HW. I trust him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cruising Soaps Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 Someone fresh, just like they did with Mal Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 I could be good with that as I trust Mal but having someone with lots of history would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if a writer from the UK is also a Y&R fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 Someone experienced who knows Y&R as either Executive Story Consultant or Co-HW with someone fresh or someone with Bell experience as the main HW. Kay Alden was grooming Natalie Minardi Slater as her successor so I wouldn't mind her having a shot. Obviously if Kay was grooming her for so many years she has to have some interest in the role, so I'd like to see what she'd bring to the position.

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted August 15, 2016 Members Share Posted August 15, 2016 I agree with Natalie Minardi Slater. She has been with the show forever. She has not been a head writer. Possibly have Kay Alden as a story consultant. I would like to see Janice Ferri Esser promoted. She is a good script writer and she has been with the show forever so she knows history. Susan Dansby hasn't been a script writer as long bur she is good. She was a one of the better script writers at ATWT. She sure did her best to make the crap that Jean P.wrote into something watchable on ATWT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 18, 2016 Members Share Posted August 18, 2016 Whoever it is will have the herculean task of making the show watchable again by appealing to long term fans by making Y&R feel like Y&R while bringing in younger audience and continuing down the dumb exec mandated path of a couple driven soap. They've already failed. It's impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 18, 2016 Members Share Posted August 18, 2016 How many shows have to die under the incompetence of so called experienced soap writers before we acknowledge that it's time to stop handing them to the usual suspects who go from soap to soap like circuit riding snake oil salesmen?

Members SweetPea36 Posted August 20, 2016 Members Share Posted August 20, 2016 I always think of it as a game of musical chairs where only the most untalented are allowed to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
