Members sheilaforever Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 For me this was actually one of the first music cues that i didn’t like and thought lack class and elegance of classic Y&R. Little did I know that it was gold compared to what we got later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 And of course, Eric Braeden hated that scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChickenNuggetz92 Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 As lackluster and overused as this is, I find that after watching the "classic" from 2014, RC Cates' compositions have improved melodically in recent years as opposed to the JFP trashcan of cues they started using in 2013. Still lacks the punch of the Allocco-Kurtz-Davidson cues from 1984-2002. On the note of Alloco-Kurtz cues, I really didn't care for the compositions from the MAB era. They made scenes sound super campy and this one in particular below at the end of the scene is one I could never stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 At least we didn’t get MAB era stuff when Malcolm was always making sandwiches while the show wanted to create a character “who was all that” and “dressed like she’s going to a fancy ball”.

Members kalbir Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Remember Shemar's 2014 return where Malcolm acted like he was gone for 10 years? It was an attempt to wipe out the Eddie Winslow years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Constant writer turnover can really destroy the foundations of a soap. Bad enough to have one horrid writer dismantle all that had preceded. Of course, it’s good that some things are forgotten, a la Eddie Winslow Winters.

Members Faulkner Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 I’m so glad Tonya Lee Williams gave us that gift of a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 Wonder how he felt about the scene of John punching the living daylights out of Victor? TLW quoted MAB: https://daytimeconfidential.com/2010/04/15/tonya-lee-williams-maria-wants-to-get-the-black-storyline-up-pumping-again http://dose.ca/2010/04/10/tonya-lee-williams-discusses-her-return-young-and-restless-and-celebrates-10th-annual-reelworld/ What a mess. Right after that Tyra debacle too. They even brought on Nate to do nothing at all, while Devon dated Tatyana Ali for six years and she only appeared like five episodes a year.

Members YRfan23 Posted May 15, 2020 Members Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm basically over blaming Braeden for all of the problems the show has had with how Victor is written, but sometimes I do wonder (and this is going to sound terrible and I apologize in advance) when the time comes and Braeden is gone, how many actors are gonna come forward and admit things constantly had to be changed in the script because he didn't want Victor to lose, in any way.....including allowing other characters to physically attack him more then they did... I'm at least thankful Bill Bell got the final say in this scene with Cole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
