Members YRfan23 Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Why not just promote Natalie Minardi-Slater as HW and Sally McDonald as EP?? it's stupid to even ask because that makes the most sense, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 At this point, I'd be down for Natalie Minardi Slater and Janice Ferri Esser being promoted to Co-HW's, since they probably know the show best. Of course, by the time that happens, we'll KNOW the end is nigh. (Case in point: Jill Lorie Hurst at GL.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 I would like to see Christian McLaughlin in the HW role. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but with the right EP, he could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 I find him a little unnecessarily dark tbh. After MAB was fired, his take on Y&R was a bit boring. It is worth pointing out that no one HW has the kind of control and influence over the canvas that we attribute to them. Since CBS and Sony took over, they've had their fingers in every script. It is writing by committee at this point. And too many cooks spoil the broth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah. I just think it’s going to be a “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” situation whether it’s NMS or Griffith or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Like this matters. Remember how excited people were about what's her face from last year? That lasted all of a month. I mean, honestly people. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members celine12 Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 It doesn't matter. Every two or three years we get another EP/HW and quickly the non stop complaints begin. The plays the thing. The problem is the era of soaps is over. We have a few that are running on fumes. But it's just a matter of time before Sony/CBS findsa good reality, game or another talk show to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 28, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 See this is why I don’t care. Y&R of all the soaps is historically my favorite and this used to upset me but it’s clear the show is done. In fact I hope Griffith brings Higley as his co-HW! Fcuk it at this point lol. Modern Y&R reminds me of the destruction of the PGP soaps from the writing and dismantling of the cast. Throw in how bad B&B is and they’re truly the new ATWT/GL.

Members Darn Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 You said it. I wonder if they can see that they're just repeating mistakes of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 It's odd.. when a soap gets cancelled, the quality kind of improves.. or it did for All My children once they got their pink slip from ABC.. The last few months was well done, lots of character interaction, etc... and it made me wonder why this couldn't have been done all along. It will happen for Y & R once the end is near.

Members Faulkner Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 The pressure from the highers-up is largely off when a show is cancelled, so I can understand why shows would improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members victorlord75 Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 After years of reading soap message boards, I don't think anything I've ever read rings more true than this short, simple statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 This is like Another World all over again from 1993-1999. Six years of chaos- with 6 executive producers- Michael Laibson, Terri Guarnieri, John Valente, Jill Farren Phelps, Charlotte Savitz, and Christopher Goutman- and 8 headwriting teams- Peggy Sloane, Carolyn Culliton, Tom King and Craig Carlson, Margaret DePriest, King and Carlson AGAIN, Michael Malone, Richard Culliton, Leah Laiman and Jean Passanante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 28, 2018 Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Then it happened at ATWT.....Y&R is going to be canceled sooner than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
