Carolyn Hinsey's guest for Carolyn's Corner this week is Bradley Bell, executive producer and head writer for Bold and Beautiful. I thought this was a very interesting excerpt:

Carolyn: You're the only executive producer who admits something isn't working right away and changes course. Other bosses would give me a year's worth of an arugment: "That character is going to catch on!"

Brad: Oh, no. We bail quicky. You try to have a certain level of drama and if you don't reach it, you've got to move on.


Maybe if GL had run things this way, GL wouldn't be at the bottom of the ratings. Sometimes you have to actually listen to viewers and not try to push your agenda on them. If people don't like it, they turn. It's not rocket science why of why doesn't GL knows this?
