Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 27, 2019 Members Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Also, some may find this an "unpopular opinion" (just to preface what I'm about to post) but there's a school of thought that posits that perhaps if soap fans were more unrelenting and openly vocal about specifically what was not good about these shows, instead of just accepting it until it got so bad they/we had to walk away, perhaps the producers/writers, etc. might have made the necessary adjustments in time to save more of these soaps before they tanked. Just a thought. Not trying to light another fire, or anything. Also, I'm not talking about the rabid fanatics who threaten to fly skywriting jets over studios or fanatics who threaten to walk away if an actor fired for cause isn't returned to the role, even after having two good recasts. I'm talking about reasonable discussions of serious problems with the writing of characters and storylines.

Members ranger1rg Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) LOL. “Shut the fu€k up” and “God bless” are separated by 3 words. Hilarious. Edited September 28, 2019 by ranger1rg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 That was the idea, you numbskull. I'm a dry wit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 Keep up the insults, honey. I know it’s all you got. You certainly don’t have anything to offer about the show. Thanks for telling us that was wit. That’s an example I haven’t seen. Anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 And you have nothing to argue my point. If you can't tolerate this board being made up predominantly of people more critical than you, either stick to the shows and shut up about your fellow posters or leave the board. It's a very simple proposition. Nothing you do can stop them. Make peace with your limitations in this life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 LOL. Honey, go watch some more Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 I haven't watched Bravo in over a decade. Now do as you're told - stick to the shows, and try to turn your posting history around. Do it again and I'll report you. Thanks for contributing to Soap Opera Network.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted September 28, 2019 Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 Soaps can be divided into Execs, Writers, Directors, Network People and Fans. A great many of us "teethed" on the soap industry when the writers & directors were "auteurs" and we know that soaps were both creatively and economically so much better then. But, the model of production where the economics of the situation is driving the bus has long since taken over. Fans tend to say that we'd be in better shape if the creative side of things was driving the bus. Oddly enough these varying sides agree on one thing and that is that soaps were so much better in the past. Nostalgia is in fashion.

Members lucaslesann23 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2019 I wish YR would hire malone. He and Griffith work good together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 29, 2019 Members Share Posted September 29, 2019 No, thank you and it’s obvious Griffith doesn’t think he needs any help. He needs to be gone for good. Multiple failed stints is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
