What's the difference between a Supervising Producer vs Executive Producer?

by Anonymousreply 33October 16, 2018 7:18 PM

Supervising Producer would be like a VP at a company - responsible for parts of the show. More on the floor kinds of responsibility.

Executive Producer oversees the entire show, all parts. Like a CEO.

by Anonymousreply 34October 16, 2018 7:37 PM

R33 SOD did a "day in the life of" type interview with Y&R's Supervising Producer, John Fisher, within the last year, and he seemed to emphasize that this job at Y&R is mainly about "managing budgets and resources." It sounded like each of the three people who do this job at the show are assigned a particular episode to oversee. Fisher said, "My main responsibility is the business side of the show. I handle budgets, contracts, schedules -- the nuts and bolts of daily production. I work very closely with Mail Young our executive producer and head writer to make sure we have the resources for his creative vision."

He said part of the job involves desk work, right down to doing mundane things like signing checks and paying bills. He emphasized that his biggest challenge is to make sure the creative vision he's chartered to bring to the screen "comes in on budget and on schedule." He talked about how the concentrated work schedule (where they now shoot more shows per week) means that there's less room for dealing with the inevitable problems that crop up during the day. He made it sound like it usually falls to the supervising producer for that episode to figure out what they're going to do or what resources they'll use to solve those issues.

They should bring back Traci's drug dealer, "Sparky," who was the campus pusher who supplied Traci with her bennies.

Traci was arrested after crashing her car while high. While in the holding cell, she went into seizure and had to be rushed to the hospital where she nearly died.

The D.A. offered Traci a deal to not prosecute her, if she'd help the police in a sting operation to catch Sparky.

It was hilarious because, before Sparky got caught, he locked Traci and Gay Danny in a MEAT locker.

Bill Bell had a sense of humor.

CBS sold the building that houses Y&R and B&B. Look for the shows to be cancelled when their contracts run out.

by Anonymousreply 40October 16, 2018 9:16 PM

Television City is pretty historic so that's really sad R40. Got to tour it many years ago when I got tickets to The Price Is Right. Really wanted to see Y&R's studio but was not allowed.

by Anonymousreply 41October 16, 2018 10:21 PM

The L.A. Time reports:

[quote] CBS is expected to stay at the campus for some time after the sale goes through, but beyond that, it’s not known what’s planned for the site.

R41 And as you note - I don't think the new owners can do much with the existing buildings, since they've been designated "landmark status" by the city.

[quote] The property was awarded landmark status earlier this year. The landmark designation allows for the most historic and architecturally significant part of the complex to be preserved but leaves the door open for development elsewhere on the 25-acre campus.

I'm guessing the new owners (Hackman Capital) will look to develop the very large and very flat parking lot that surrounds the studio, thereby maximizing the land and putting all the cars down below. This would be similar to their strategy when they bought Culver Studios. In any event, because of the landmark status, approval to modify the site could take years.

btw - NBC sold Burbank Studios some time ago, yet struggling Days is still on the air and still taping there. And Sony itself considered moving Y&R to their own facility in Culver City some time ago. As I recall, the only reason they didn't do it back then is because CBS had just completed a technical upgrade to Television City.

Yup. Us GL and ATWT fans will tell you, sale of the building means they're dead in 2020.

From the IG:

abhidabiI want to thank every one of my fans who for months have been asking about Ravi’s return to Y&R. Honestly, I don’t know the answer. I was privileged to work with some amazing soap vets like @eileendavidsonofficial , @kristoffstjohn , Peter Bergman, @ginatognoni , @theoriginaldanielhall , @ryanashton , @christianjleblanc , @katelinderyr and the legendary Eric Braeden. I’ve been fortunate to make some lifelong friendships.

However, there have been recent allegations of abuse and harassment against the show’s producers/writers as well as potential litigation that may affect the future of the show and like a Domino effect it is the characters and the actors who play them that take the fall. While I have been fortunate enough to NOT be killed or written off- the future is uncertain.

Things like this used to derail me. I would get so upset about not booking work especially after getting to the last stages of auditions, producer sessions and screen tests. I didnt realize how trivial those problems are in the grand scheme of life. The recent loss of my babies Boba Fett and Bellatrix in such a short time has put a lot of things into perspective. I love acting and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. But I realize now, that I won’t let rejection or second-guessing myself define or upset me anymore.

Those things don’t control my happiness or who I am. The things that do are my family. My mother and father; my brother and sister; my dogs, Max and Rooney; my friends, and last but certainly not least Helen who has been a rock and true partner in every sense of the word. I’ve recently found a lot of happiness in nature. Joshua tree and Sequoia, most recently were therapeutic and peaceful. The earth is so much bigger than one person’s problems. I suppose this Epiphany is called life, learning, and growth.

by Anonymousreply 79October 18, 2018 12:09 AM

The fact that "Ravi" thinks Daniel Hall, Ryan Ashton, and Kate Linder are "amazing" soap actors muddles his opinion. (Insert laughter.)

And how can CBS force Sinha to delete anything? He's not on contract with Y&R and never has been. I don't think he's stepped foot in the studio since April for his last appearance nearly six months ago in May. And all he's basically done is reference the allegations in Tommy Lightfoot Arena-Bell's report, and no one's forced that guy to take that article down.

I've seen a definite improvement over the last 2-3 weeks.

The show feels tighter, the dialogue is sharper, the actors are engaged & forward movement of stories setting up new directions.

Makes me wonder if Mal now has a co-HW. Being a HW and EP both is just entirely too much to handle.

Way back in the day it was easier because they had free reign without having to deal with so much network involvement & shoe string budgets.

R326 I think it was supposed to be 1972. Young John said the movie they went to go see was "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." That was released in December 1971, but folks in Genoa City, Wisconsin wouldn't have been able to go see it at a drive-in theater until the weather warmed up the following Spring-Summer.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the flashback scenes too!

One think about "Teen Jackie" is I actually got more of a future "Terry Lester as Jack" vibe from him than imagining him morphing into La Bergman.

Minor nitpick, cute little Traci could have been somewhat chubby. .. Based on conversations Traci had with Dina back in the 80s, Traci came right out and asked Dina if her being overweight as a child had bothered or proved embarrassing to her society-page mother.

I also would have liked to have seen a Young Mamie fretting about the goings-on with a pained look on her face.

And finally, Young John had to have known that his hot-to-trot wife wouldn't stick around and beard for him forever.

I've got to say, Marla Adams has been fantastic as Dina lately. The way she can change her realities from being in present day to not knowing who her children are in a second is great. Going from being confused about why they were at the Jabot offices to hoity about her husband having to table at the country club to confident that the safe is behind the wall all in seconds, and pull it all off believably is truly remarkable. I sure hope she gets the Best Supporting Actress Emmy this year.

Also think she has great chemistry with Kyle. Marla's turning out to be Michael Mealor's best acting partner.

It was a nice use of history to have Aunt Jack mention that that the legal document that John and Dina came up with for Ashley was crafted in the mid-90s during Bill Bell's own retcon of his John-Dina story.

When first learned about this document a couple of days ago, I thought that particular period of reconciliation would have made the most sense for when the document was supposedly crafted.

To highlight that period even more, though, they could have had Young Dina toss out a line to her workaholic husband saying that "his secretary, Audrey, sees him more than she does." .. That would have tied in nicely to Bell's arc in the 90s.

R381 I think 1972 makes sense here. Young Jack indicated that he had his learner's permit to drive, so he was probably almost 16. And I believe we've previously heard that he was 16 when Dina abandoned the family. .. And from what we know about the Vietnam retcon, Jack was said to be "Luan's 19-year old soldier boy" when he had to get out of the war-torn country and leave her. That story was built around the Fall of Saigon in April 1975. So the ages correspond to what he would have been in 1972 and 1975.

R387 In the 80s, we heard that Traci was already overweight when she was a child when Dina was still with the family. .. During one of Traci and Dina's efforts to re-connect, they had a very pointed conversation on the subject.

Traci knew her mother was all about image and what people in high-society think about how you look. .. She asked her mother if having an overweight child had bothered or embarrassed her. (With Traci's low self-esteem, she may have even thought her weight problem was one of the reasons Dina had left.)

As I recall, Dina wouldn't admit to Traci's weight embarrassing her, but she did say that she was very concerned about how other children would treat her or look at her as she grew up (fat), admitting to how it may have played into how she interacted with daughter back then. Dina wanted what was best for Traci, which meant she wanted her daughter to be popular, have lots of boys chasing after her, and grow up to be star of the debutante ball, etc.

I believe Y&R long ago indicated John and Dina were married in 1952 or 1953. And also that Dina has had a little bit of college when they married.

They've now just given Dina's age as 80, born in 1938. They're also stating that John and Dina were married in 1956, so Dina would have been 18.

When Jack debuted in 1980, he seemed to be mid-to-late 20s, probably 26 or 27. When Ashley and Traci debuted in 1982, they had just finished college and boarding school, making them 22 and 18 respectively.

In these flashbacks, apparently set in 1972, Jack seems to be 15, Ashley seems 9 or 10 and Traci seems about 5 or 6.

So, it seems they have shaved 2-3 years off the kids ages in this storyline and about 5 years off Dina's age.

by Anonymousreply 413October 26, 2018 2:00 AM

The stories were that they were contemporaries and in high school together. They retconned the John and Dina story fairly heavily... moving time around to suit. Dina and Katherine were cast as old friends upon her original return... it made sense in that Dina was friends with Kay... the character was introduced in 1983 and had been one for twelve years, so that made her first bolt 1971, before the show started.

I'd definitely read a memoir of Dina Mergeron.

Child of privilege marries too young to a salt of the earth man. She has kids young but feels stifled. Has an affair but passes the child off as her husband's. She bolts to Europe & lives the life of Riley.. Numerous men. Gorgeous locales while hobknobbing with the jet set. Then she segues into a world renown businesswoman

by Anonymousreply 415October 26, 2018 3:40 AM

The thing about Dina is she's mostly been described as anything interesting. The character was pretty soft when she returned originally. I always found her a bit of a let down. She wasn't even Alexis light. But Bell didn't like strong or nuanced women for the most part... any female Bell character that was interesting was either vindictive, villainous or slutty... or some combination of all three.

[quote] I always found her a bit of a let down.

I kind of liked Madame during her first story. I'm thinking Bell specifically chose Marla to play Dina, because CBS viewers would remember her as soap vixen "Belle Clemens" from her Secret Storm days, so the idea that Dina might do something so selfish, like walk out on her husband and abandon her kids, would be immediately believable. I do recall, however, being let down in the subsequent storyline involving Marc Mergeron and control of his dead father's company. Instead of having a strong Dina handle the the little French dude, Bell had to have Victor swoop in and "save Madame" from her blackmailing stepson. "Hero" Victor bought controlling interest in Mergeron, paid the punk off to drop his lawsuit (so that scandals wouldn't be revealed in the courtroom), and allowed Dina to continue being CEO of the company. Problem solved 1,2,3.

Jerry Douglas is 85 in real life, born in 1932.

That would have made him 50 when he started on Y&R in 1982. And John Abbot came across as 50 years old when the Abbots were being introduced onto the canvas.

And here's some trivia for some of you. Jerry Douglas' first wife was Arlene Martel, who played T'Pring on the original Star Trek episode "Amok Time," where Spock must mate with a Vulcan or die.

An established actor is at top pay. I'm sure they can pay at least 2, if not 3 people, with Eileen's salary.

And all the soaps continue to get their budgets slashed. So it's balancing the production's checkbook to write characters off, more than likely, and replace them with recurring newbies.

There was a rumor after AMC ended that Lucci was going to show up as Julia, Victor's first wife. Melody T-Scott went on twitter to vehemently deny it, and she seemed a little upset by it rather than just causally dismissing it. I don't think Lucci would ever do another soap character other than Erica. The Kane legacy is too important to her and I think she would be worried a new character that flopped would take away from that. Plus, she still is active and enjoys working, but would she really want to get back into the soap grind at this point. She does like to see all the plays, travel, and go out to eat (not that she necessarily eats, but she likes to go to nice restaurants.

^How can you put Y&R #3 for hot guys? There's no hotter stud on soaps than Michael Mealor. And they have Josh M. and Jordi V.

by Anonymousreply 515October 28, 2018 4:52 PM

Both GH and Days have hotter guys than YR. Jabottom is really not all that hot. He looks like inbred hill folk. Morrow and Jordi are hot for daddies, but YR really doesn't have any young hotties like GH and Days.

Remember the good old days of mega-hotties like Robert Tyler, James Wlcek, Don Diamant, Jon Wesley Shipp, Jon Hensley, Grant Aleksander, and Grant Show? Those were my go-to JO guys as a teen gayling. Tyler, Shipp and Aleksander in particular got me weak in the knees. They don't build 'em like that anymore.

The last ridiculously hot guy on Y&R was Marco Dapper.

B&B was always terrible save for Dame Flannery and a few years in the late 90s and early 00s when the show upped the Brooke/Stephanie feud and had the Slot from the Valley sleep with her daughter's husband. I mean, how seriously can you take a show with Ronn Moss?

He's easily lost 20lbs compared to when he joined GH

The story with Dapper should have had Fenmore developing a crush on Carmine with 'fluid' Carmine playing it up and using the totally enamored Fenmore in his schemes.

Watching Fen and Carmine together, they had the potential of being Y&R's very own version of Eric Van der Woodsen and Damien Dalgaard from "Gossip Girl."

(And LaBaldwin would have been soooooy pissed that both his wife and son got a taste of Carmine, and he didn't!.

R536 It's a current photo. Chrissy put that one up a couple days ago. The woman with the black hair (whose face you can't see in that photo) was taking a tour of the Y&R studio.

Apparently, those two hangers-on "Ravi" and "Scott" showed up, because (I think) they met her at a Kate Linder "tea" event up in Canada.

The tour guest has photos too. You can tell from this one that it's already starting to look like Christmas in Genoa City (for episodes that will air in December).

Do CLB and Linder charge people to come to these events? I mean who is going to fly across country for nothing to meet fans who have one foot in the grave?

There was a fan who recently just did a visit to the Days set who goes to almost all the Days fan events. Even though one of the companies that has been putting together Days fan events had to start adding non Days actors to their events because they were having difficulty trying to sell enough tickets to fan events with Days actors only.

by Anonymousreply 539October 29, 2018 8:23 AM

R538 I don't think the actors charge people. These "teas" that Linder organizes are sponsored by charitable organizations, with the money raised via ticket sales going to the charity (presumably). The one coming up in December and taking place in Toronto is for the March of Dimes Canada.

That’s been speculation here for a quite while, and of course, DL has nothing but hope and dreams--as usual. Which, of course, also means that they’re probably both banging every aspiring actress within a 30-mile radius.

They'll probably get an appearance fee out of what is raised.

Mealor isn't gay, I don't think. His IG was full of pictures with him and a girlfriend before he was on Y&R. I know the argument against, but the guy's a nobody in the firmament even if he's on a (dying) TV show and I don't buy conspiracy theories, personally, but have at it...

I guess Ashley can change her mind about the patents and return one day. How will she fit in to Jabot again though? Anything less than CEO would be a step backwards. And working for Newman was a dumb choice.

R557 John and Dina signed over the patents for all Jabot products created by Ashley to her. Jabottom found this document in a hidden safe. Jack tried to shred it but Traci got wind of it and pieced it back together. Jack admitted what he did to Ashley. Initially Ashley wasn’t going to do anything and still wanted to be CEO. Jack offered her money for the patents but she said no. Jack didn’t want her as CEO. Ashley reconsidered the CEO position and decided to leave town today to Paris to start her own company with the patents.

Bergman was never this affected when he was on AMC. He came off as pretty naturalistic, despite a highly romantic storyline. Somehow, he morphed into Joan Crawford while on Y&R. Y&R's acting has always been, um, highly stylized, for lack of a better term, so it's no wonder if he picked up the bad acting habits associated with Bell soaps.
