Members kalbir Posted March 20 Members Share Posted March 20 Totally agree. I can't help but wonder though, is the threat of being replaced by a new show something CBS is hanging over Bradley in order to motivate him to fix B&B? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 I'm not sure Bradley Bell would know HOW to fix B&B at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 Exactly what I wish Corday would do, also, gee, what a coinkidink, huh? But, seriously, if he would just be the Owner & not pretend he actually functions as an EP or as he said at the Bill Hayes funeral, a ShowRunner (AS IF) it would be so much better for the show. Here are 2 examples where second generation Soap Royalty is not beneficial to the genre, not at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 We’ve bandied about quite a few names for wishful casting. Ultimately it will be the decision for tptb to make but I want to put another name out there, so if anyone who has an “in” with the development of this soap peeps this, in addition to the names I had mentioned like the likes of Tonya Pinkins, Tamara Tunie, Amelia Marshall, Victoria Rowell, Count Stovall and Petronia Paley, I want to suggest that they do not sleep on the talented and beautiful Loren Lott who was criminally underutilized on Y&R. Because of how little storyline she received, she’s still a relatively fresh face but one with valuable soap experience. Another name I would suggest is Lamman Rucker whose charisma and magnetism was used an abused during his time on ATWT. Another thing that I wondered/mused about is what industry/field will the wealthy family(families) make their wealth on. I feel like at least one family should be a haircare magnate, right? There are some opportunities for some gifted hairstylists to really get creative here. Black hair is not just about creative expression, it can also be an art. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 (edited) I would imagine that they are likely going to handle casting the "PASSIONS" way. Remember how that soap cast the parents looking almost as young as the actors/actresses who played their children? If people like Victoria Rowell and Debbi Morgan were added, they would probably play a grandparent or an aunt to the family/families.

Members vanguard Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 Loren Lott? Yes. Much approved. Assuming that the rich family will have a character playing a daughter, she fits. Very pretty and just looks the part. Lamman Rucker? Yes again. Mr. Rucker is 52-years-old in real life so he definitely carries the feel of being a family Patriarch. Hypothetically, I think he would also work very well playing the lead to some low-income clan as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 Style wise, I hope this new show brings back longer scenes instead of these 10-15 second whiplash shifts between 20 characters a day. Longer scenes, if written well, can bring much more impact and help people to invest in what's going on. I also don't want to see the Peapack model of shooting since P&G is involved. I hope they don't have any ideas on using this to keep the budget "cheap". It'll look it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 As far as I recall, ATWT didn’t truly adopt that Peapack style of filming. From what I recall, that was specific to Ellen Wheeler’s production model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 That wasn't per se a P&G thing. CBS mandated the production model. EW didn't have the budget to properly implement. [!@#$%^&*] happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 ^^ My point is that this type of shooting scenes was never one that ATWT adopted, so I am not why it’s being associated with being a P&G thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 And, you're right. My point also. Total agreement. There was only one thing about that time where P&G could've done better & did not. And, that was that EW wanted to show that you could promote products within the context of the show & P&G declined to budget that for her. That was short-sighted of them. IMO anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 I mean, my main hope is that they'll at least spend a fair budget on building elaborate sets for the main locations, but even that's holding out too much hope. Of course I'd love some sort of outside set, but yeah. Ain't gonna happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
