Members Liberty City Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 As much as I distrust the "writer," I fully trust Michele Val Jean & Sheila Ducksworth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 Would loveee to see a KKL cameo on BTG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 So does that leave Sara Bibel, Lynn Martin & Susan Dansby all writing breakdown? Jazmen & Cheryl both wrote at DAYS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 I think we keep forgetting that this is Michele Val Jean's baby, not Ron Carlivati's or Bob Guza's. Given her track record, I trust her to know good from bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 Yes, and I think we also need to temper our expectations a bit at the start. Historically, the first year of a new daily serial can be a bit uneven, and shows need some time to really find their groove and gel. Yes, I know attention spans are less these days, but this is always going to be a reality IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 Yup. No matter how much you plan out and plot these shows there will always be cast members that don't gel, some that inevitably ends up standing out more and some actors that will just plain suck and need recasting or be written out. This of course effects the storylines in itself and projections will have to change. With that said, even if they knock it out of the park from week 1 (doubtful, but we'll see) there's clearly people waiting with their claws out lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 CBS just ran the BTG promo during the NY-Philly NFL game. Good news, and I think it shows how much the network cares about this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 It's a promising sign it's been sent to primetime/non-daytime broadcasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 I agree with this. What happens when two characters not planned to be around each other have a brief scene and the audience see a spark for example? Will the writers notice? Will they run with it? What will be best for the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 It's good that they aren't filming too far ahead so they'll be able to make those adjustments as needed. Can you imagine if they filmed ahead like Days and something wasn't working? That could be the end of a new soap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 I've said before that I wonder if these newbies will be able to keep up with the heavy hustle and bustle that a daytime soap requires. I've seen some of them in Tubi movies which is a huge difference from what I'm sure they're currently embarking on. I hope they work out because I've always hated when a soap has so many recasts that it ends up looking like an entirely different show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 YAY! I was saying months ago on this thread that I hope CBS Sports does cross-promotion of BTG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 I don't know if we always had haters or not. But, I'm sure BITD we did not have haters to the extreme level we have them now. It's disconcerting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 When Y&R and B&B began, with inexperienced newbies in the cast, they received a lot of criticism for their acting, but they stuck with them despite the negative reviews. Of course, that was pre internet. I'm sure the knives will be out for any actor perceived to be weak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 5 Members Share Posted January 5 (edited) Yeah. It's very much old school Bill Bell...who was quite good at that re: adjustments for the most part. Edited January 5 by Taoboi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
