Members BoldRestless Posted January 28, 2023 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2023 Honestly, as long as they don't do the shaky cam stuff, I've been thinking it's bad enough now to lean into the Peapack model. Film at a real courthouse on the weekend instead of making a set, a real park instead of Chancellor park.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 28, 2023 Members Share Posted January 28, 2023 Yes to all of this. I mean I wouldn’t have mind seeing Nate find success and media attention with his Ask MD website or whatever but the switch to a media executive was the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 28, 2023 Members Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Y&R has been toying with the 'film in public spaces in the studio and pretend it's on location' since at least JFP. A lot of drab institutional-looking stairwells, like when Phyllis took her tumble down some stairs when Stafford left the show for GH. In fairness, I'm sure soaps have always played with filming in the facilities and making it pretend to be location over the decades. But the lighting and production value in the earlier years was much more adept at disguising it vs. the ugly GL/ATWT and even recent GH and Y&R method of 'just film anywhere backstage and pretend it's a set'. You can tell the difference between some grimy back staircase on Studio X and a stairwell in Newman Enterprises or whatever.

Members Paul Raven Posted January 29, 2023 Members Share Posted January 29, 2023 I get that having Nate as a doctor was limiting, especially as there was no hospital set or storyline. But they needed better motivation to have him move into the business world. Could have been interesting to see him move into business. Of course we have the awful 'media' setting with podcasts and now Daniel's dumb game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 29, 2023 Members Share Posted January 29, 2023 Yes they did; shot in the hallway of CBS Television City, and Phyllis was in some darkly-lit room having just had her hair done. So bad. The one outside set that was nice was Chancellor Park's temporary outdoor set during the summer months! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taoboi Posted January 30, 2023 Members Share Posted January 30, 2023 OMG! Mary really was. As a tween to teenager to YA growing up, I lived for when Paul would get a new woman because YOU KNEW shade was coming her way when Mary met her. Poor Isabella lol. I know Genoa City isn't in the South but she was such a Southern woman with her nice nasty. But you are right. She did live such a clean life. I know she would driven Gloria even more crazy than the Abbotts. No doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Sean Dominic (Nate) is very good looking, but I’ll be honest — he isn’t much of an actor. I don’t think he adds an ounce of gravitas to his role as a business executive. Maybe he’ll do better if he becomes Victoria’s boy toy, but for now, he’s not cutting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Did they beg Mishael to get dressed up and take a cast photo on her way out? Please register in order to view this content I have my thoughts but I am going to keep it classy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yes, she's there for optics. Black, recent best actress winner. Looks good on paper. Man, looking at that cast photo again...half of those people should be gone and all of them have nothing to do. It's crazy, they're not even doing the soap "safe" things like the other shows (baby switches and dopplegangers), they're doing nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
