    Quote MsSuperSuds: Firing actors or killing off characters is not the change that Y&R needs. Good writers with vision and talent are what Y&R needs. Nothing on this show is going to change until the headwriting team has been replaced by some real writers who know how to construct a story from start to finish and who know how to create characters and develop them into humans that viewers empathize with, feel sympathy for, love, hate and/or care about in general.


    I agree. I get the distinct idea that they start some of these storylines with no idea how they will finish it and possibly bob & weave according to audience response and then vote on the ending by committee.

    Quote Backstreet:
    Quote Stemp: I miss the cliff hangers--and yeah, I've noticed the friday epis are just kind of ho hum--no drama?! What happened to that?! I enjoyed the who killed Diane s/l more than what's happening now. . .


    I miss those wonderful romantic dinners at the Collinade room and those fabulous corporate stories at Chancellor and Newman and the wonderful Abbott family and those family breakfast scenes. I miss Mammie and I miss the inegrity of John Abbott. I miss those romantic buildups. The angst. The show is not like that anymore. It is dark, hard core sex, no romance at all. The writers don't obviously don't know hot to write romance. They have no clue what makes the audience want more either. They write junk and it shows everyday on this show. They don't know anything about being creative or even how to build a story. I don't where they get these writers but I do know that two of them were completely responsible for the ending of ATWT. The flopped that show out just like MAB is doing this one. It is horrible.


    Oh, those breakfasts at the Abbotts...true Y&R!!!


    Now its more like Sin City. Just grainy & dark.

    It's because they do. You can tell their s/ls are not well thought out. Bill Bell would plan out year long s/ls he knew exactly what he wanted to write and how it would play out. Things were well thought out and he made sure his characters were in character.
