That’s an interfering frame of reference. May I ask you to expand of what (else) you have seen this go around under Josh Griffith that you like?

 

The general consensus here is that he's not got it right (including the writing for Adam) so I’m open to any perspectives that allow me to think about things more

(Sorry for responding like that to the OP. It's your opinion and shouldn't have said it the way i did.)

 

I just like the way he writes the show, I enjoy the storylines. I like the stuff he has done, i don't find it boring like others do. And when i first started warching the show in 2013 he was the writer. So ig im just used to the show this way. I felt the same way with sally and her 3 week arcs. Lol

 

And he writes for and brought back my favorite character which is Adam so I'm probably biased.

 

So yeah that's why i think he's a good writer. Again sorry for acting like that.

The May 4 episode of B&B was directed by Academy Award nominee Evgeny Afineevsky. Among the Israeli-American director, producer and cinematographer’s claims to fame are the Oscar and Emmy nominations he received for his 2016 documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. In 2020, Afineevsky released the much-talked-about documentary featuring Pope Francis, titled Francesco,. This B&B episode marks Afineevsky’s first directorial effort for the internationally renowned soap.

Exactly!   Bringing Adam back was sorta good move, but dominating the show with Adam and Sharon, and the b.s. that Griffith wants Sharon & Adam to be a couple,  plus the whole Abby and Chance being parents with surrogate Mariah, sperm donor Devon, but no Chance on the show, the overplaying of several characters and characters like Paul disappearing,, proves he is NOT a good writer at all, and should be fired.  Agreed Paul Raven!

Hey, sometimes these interviews are good in spite of him (especially with folks like Susan Pratt who will *not* be shushed, talked over, or shamed into silence). Nancy is a hero who I haven’t seen a lot of footage of, so I think I’ll actually tune in for this one.

Yeah it depends who the actor is. Melanie Smith spilled tea and  did Jay Hammer. There are some that are just great because of the chemistry... HBS, Gregg Marx and Scott Bryce.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
