Members Taoboi Posted December 16, 2019 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 THIS. I would gladly take Sally back with Kay (and good to see I'm not alone on that here). that was the last time I was regularly viewing as well. And while Mal helped a bit and I liked it, I was sorry to see it was all so he could power play. Would love to see how she and Kay would do given more time to plan. Her unplanned was intriguing from evil Cane to Juliet to Lauren's Fenmore story to where Sharon and GT Phyllis could go without men. So yeah, I am down.

VanessaReardon Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 @KhanI’m good, but thanks. #whoaskedyou Keeping this discussion to Y&R, where are the Christmas Trees this year? Budget cuts because of Morina and Griffith’s low ratings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted December 16, 2019 Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 Unfortunately correct. I think, like the other soaps that fell before, we're at the point of probably no return. I'd take her and Kay back too, though it feels unlikely, but who knows? Without interference (but that goes for three out of the four soaps too) of course. We all know Mal wanted control. I can understand why some found it "boring" but there has to be a happy balance that can be found. Most casual fans just don't really know what they want.

VanessaReardon Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Josh Griffith did NOT get a 3 month extension. Why do you people believe these rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted December 17, 2019 Members Share Posted December 17, 2019 How do you know he didn’t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 17, 2019 Members Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's always possible he didn't get an extension. IIRC, his work began airing in March of last year so I would imagine he was hired in Jan/Feb. If they find a new HW by then he would've worked a year.

VanessaReardon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I know things. But keep in mind that I said he didn’t get a 3 month extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanessaReardon Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Where is Anthony Morina in this mess? He’s the EP. Why isn’t Morina telling Griffith to step it up and make the show interesting? I’m extremely disappointed in the Morina/Griffith regime. It’s so boring. Directionless. No vision.

Members detroitpiston Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 Please register in order to view this content Everything about this scene from Staff infections acting to the structuring is just BAD. Whatever they were trying to do here didn't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 Has there been any actual discussion of how little directors seem to do on soaps over the past several years? I tried to discuss this years ago but there were no takers. I really think the lack of direction in scenes needs to be taken more into consideration and discuss more often, in addition to poor writing and small sets, etc. A good director is often hardly ever noticed in what he/she contributes but a bad/indifferent director can really help to botch the way a scene looks and comes across. I'm not sure if people appreciate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've mentioned this before, but like you, found little discussion. It's possible most people with more than a surface interest in soap operas associate this problem more with Days of Our Lives, but that was already over a decade ago when it came out about Days not even having acting coaches, and all soaps, especially Y&R, are now very obviously affected. I rarely watch B&B and GH, but I believe this is why so many DOOL and Y&R actors have irritating, repetitive tics, and why some episodes are way better (or worse) than others.

Members BetterForgotten Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 Unfortunately, with the way soaps are produced these days, directors don't have time to be, well, directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 The loss of true direction (meaning the show ends up looking like a mess) has been a problem for a long time, agreed with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
