Members RavenWhitney Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 Sally and Kay are switching roles from those they had in early 2000s. In those days Sally wrote breakdowns and submitted character and story arcs to the head writers. Now it will be reversed. We don't know if Kay will strictly collaborate/submit story ideas and will also write an outline per week. But if they continue to rolls the title credits the way they have we may see Kay listed with the script writer on a particular day if she ends up writing breakdowns.

Members Cat Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 omg. I cannot believe I am reading this news. I've been so broken down by YEARS of CBS hiring the purposely wrong writers for this show, by YEARS of CBS trying to turn Y&R into some ABC hybrid, by being told that rehiring KA was a pipe dream we should all forget about... I simple cannot believe my eyes. I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm curious on who they're going to axe and who they'll try to hone into the core. On that note do either writer have experience repairing a show? Doing so is a separate art. What is the core of 'Y&R'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 So on the DC podcast Jamey dropped the hint that more Bill Bell era writers may be on the way back to Y&R. Could have been just a hint about Kay Alden, since the podcast was recorded before that news broke, but I'm guessing more than just Kay Alden is coming back.

Members ranger1rg Posted September 23, 2016 Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 Way, way too negative. A lot has already been fixed. If you don't see it, you're not really paying close enough attention. It's already watchable again, and the show is in better shape than it's been in YEARS.

Members GMac Posted September 23, 2016 Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 The production has improved tremendously, the writing leaves a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ryanc Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 That's a bit of an exaggeration. The production has improved, the writing hasn't. It's still very much Chuck Pratts show and it's very obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 Meant to post this here, but her former colleagues are congratulating her on her Facebook page, and she acknowledges what a difficult job she has ahead (in a response back to Jim Houghton): Jim Houghton Happy for you, Kay. You and Sally...just like old times! Have fun, above all -- have fun! 2 · 4 hrs Kay Alden Nelson Thank you, Jim! We're both excited, but well aware we have a challenge ahead of us. But I think it will be fun! 2 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks for posting that. I hadn't thought to check her FB. Nice to see so many people thrilled for her, including Meg Bennett and Tracey Bergman (unless that's a fan account). They sure do have a challenge ahead of them!

Members DaytimeFan Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 That is so heartening to see. Jim Houghton is a classy guy. I doubt he wants to return to writing in daytime, but Y&R would be lucky to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 Kay needs to unleash hell on LML and MAB!!! I would give anything to see a video of her calling one of them and basically asking them "what the hell they thought they were doing?!?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 With the news, I hope this means we could potentially see Dina again. Always happy to get as much Marla Adams in my life as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OzFrog Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 What I would pay to see Marla Adams and Eileen Davidson go head to head again... Always such visceral hatred from Ashley towards Dina - totally delicious <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
