Oh, shit! GH is still having a hard time crawling away from that mess in the ratings. I'm writing to Sony. :sheep: :sheep: :offs: :offs: |

This is what I've been afraid of if the show ever got rid of MAB who would they bring in. |

BINGO Lp! It certainly was a silver lining aspect when they brought her in for AW because if memory serves at the time they were trimming cast way down however JFP is a male version of Sheffer (LAWD HELP :facepalm: ) and she came in not giving a monkeys tail who wanted what. Just ask a then head writer Maggie "DeBeast DePriest heck even she couldn't handle Jill Farren. My`My Oh Boy this might be a soap opera within another soap opera by the time it's all said and done.

I'll never understand why the same hacks keep on getting hired but nobody has picked up Wendy Riche. WINS (5): (1995-1997, 1999 & 2000; Outstanding Drama Series; General Hospital) |

Crazy thought-- do you think Sony is bringing in people on both soaps they have their hands in -- Days and Y & R--so that these soaps will fail and after they are cancelled, Sony can say that they did everything they could but it just didn't work? |

Wonder what Sony's trying to do with taking charge of these soaps all of a sudden. |

I think I'm going to be sick. Bring back Ed Scott and Kay Alden. I remember when everyone wanted Kay Alden gone because she dragged a story on for months, so they got rid of her, and it's been downhill ever since. Each new headwriter has been worse than the one they replaced. :shame: |

JFP is at least as bad if not worse that MAB. She hates core families and completely decimated GH. She also hates vets. Bad news IMO. |

No the stupid bitch will get rid of Y&R as we know it today. Those who think its bad now just wait. The one thing that Y&R still does better than any other soap is family. That will be completely destroyed under JFP. |

Robin Strasser deleted her comment about the news earlier. She related how she was in the room when JFP took over OLTL and saw a video monitor with Robin & Erika Slezak on it and JfP (not knowing Robing was in the room) said something like, "Who's forcing me to watch two old ladies on the screen?!" Robin deleted it since she posted it this afternoon after the rumor spread. JFP hates older women! |

I didn't even think about the way women were portrayed when Phelps controlled a show. While Victor will probably be seen even more than he is now (not sure how that could happen), women like Nikki and Sharon are going to written terribly, more so than they are now. |

I said the show looked good. I didn't say she didn't make terrible decisions the show never recovered from. |

This. Y&R is the only soap to still revolve heavily around its older characters. Katherine, Jill, Victor, Nikki, Jack, and Paul are the types of people she hates to use. And I wouldn't expect to see visits from Traci or John if this happens either. |

I think he'll end up being the Genie Francis. His ego and her ego seem destined for an epic clash. Wait, Genie Francis is still there isn't she? Oh LOLz. GH's gain I suppose. |

:huh: Saw the news about Hamner leaving and got all excited that changes were finally happening - then I see this. :shame: I'm beginning to believe the theory that Sony is actually trying to kill its soaps, not save them. JFP will be a disaster for Y&R. |

I don't see how the writing for Sharon could get worse. (She's fecking Victor, fecked the guy who stole her child, faked her death, turned into a klepto, and basically is just an all around hot mess. The only thing left JFP could do is kill her off.) I've seen JFP's handy work especially at GH. Edited by Checkers, Jul 25 2012, 07:29 PM.

MAB hates older woman too. The Y&R ones anyway. I don't care if JFP comes in and gets rid of Anita, Genevieve, Harmony etc. and all the older newbie men to match. Gloria isn't core.They could use Jeffery/TS back on Dallas. Jill is already gone, I don't think MAB has any plans to ask her back because she didn't write her when she was on contract. Katherine isn't any fun without Jill. I enjoy Katherine & Jill, and Jill as a savvy business woman and think they should be on Y&R as long as possible. But ya know what? I'd rather they be replaced by young legacy characters than actors there own age from other soaps playing pointless & whacked out characters. As far as violence goes the Diane killing was the worst violence I have ever seen on any soap and I think the writing is extremely sexist already . I'd welcome JFP getting rid of Y&R as we know it today because today(the last 3/4 years) isn't the Y&R I know and love, it's horrible. |

There is nothing left for her to destroy. The show is at rock bottom, so I welcome her with open arms. Hopefully, this will get SN and GF off my screen, and back to their true soap homes (Days and GH). And since when did Y&R ever revolve around the vets? Puhlzee, the only character they care about is Phyllis. |
