Yes, this is what I've been thinking since your original post! 1. Carolyn would be HELL YEAH to assist one of her kiddos! 2. Also Courtney Sherman Simon, when Kate came to her & said, Mama, I think I want to write for soaps. How do you do it? Well, immediately, she began to teach her daughter how & gave her assignments & constructive criticism before she stuck her toe out in the universe, where she's been now, for several years!!! That kind of journeyman teaching, you can't beat it with a stick. I mean, not only is she second generation soap royalty but she's got this legacy of beginning.

I would add 2 names. 

Nancy Curlee Demorest

Dorell Anthony

But, I still think Toups has the best idea. Either Culliton/Culliton/Culliton or Hall/Simon.

I've got fans in my forum who seriously want someone to mount a campaign to get Patrick Mulchahey to replace Josh Griffith at Y&R. I basically wished them well. No way was I about to do what they wanted me to do. 

I suspect with as much poor HWing as we have that there is an underlying reason, maybe network interference.

Kate Hall has made it clear for years that she writes dialogue. She has NO interest in writing story. That is not her job. She does not want to be a headwriter. Nor a breakdown writer. She writes dialogue. Period. 

If only Patrick Mulcahey had realized the same thing. lol

I always get in trouble for it but, I could take some Guza at either Bell soap right now. I'll have a drink to my very unpopular opinion! Especially at B&B where they really have nowhere else to go but up! Y&R might get a little more lively too. I really miss action, especially with payoff and involving characters that don't really mix it up. Still, as always, hoping for that huge B&B earthquake!

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
