Of course I bring up Tom Casiello’s name a few pages back and now his ghost is haunting this thread by his own tweets in response to this thread. Just great.

Casiello was Hogan’s apprentice…I still remember his MySpace blog lol. Of course Hogan did irreparable damage to both Days and Y&R with the effects still lasting today (EJ and Adam respectively)

Look those breakdowns under Josh are not going to be too difficult to write.

Some office scenes with mumbo jumbo about digital platforms and podcasts.

Instant takeover of companies and appointments of a new CEO and COO.

A few half hearted confrontations in the same empty public places.

Done!

My post in the Y&R Feb thread about Josh using Chat GPT  might be closer to the truth than we think.

Maybe the plan is to sack all those writers to get the budget under control and the add some new (cheap) breakdown writers in a few months.

Seriously I do wonder how Josh earns his six figure headwriting salary when 5 other writers plan out the day to day structure and others write the individual scenes.

So Josh gets paid the big bucks to decide Sally gets pregnant, Jeremy comes to town etc.

His plots are poorly constructed so I wonder how much time he puts into them.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
    • SO good!  I agree. Classic soap opera and it was a cliffhanger I've been craving for weeks now.  First time in a while that I can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
    • -- I was OK with the music. I think the first 5 minutes of the first episode spoiled us -- we really thought we were going to get "real music" a lot more often. Instead, we got some budget money for the opening scene, and that was it. -- I'd like music to be used more often, but I'll put that on production and not on the musicc supervisor. I think they've intentionally dialed down the music on this show. -- Editing? I still have major problems with it. This episode was SO good, but almost every fade to commercial was off or bad. I just don't get it. That, too, is intentional, but I have no idea what they're going for. It isn't working.
