You get the impression Coral, Bevan and Dan threw a lot of the scripts back. i think Bevan's two stints were so highly praised because even though his 2008 stint was very "on-brand" to what the show he'd previously chaired became, even if you go down another route, you have to understand what the show WAS and how it got to where it got today. That's where we've gone fundamentally wrong recently. I agree with that, but also, it's not like he wrote an old fashioned show in 2008. What he wrote was very modern and appealing to a young audience at the time, while still containing the elements of old H&A that long term fans love. This is something other producers have failed to do - and certainly with the introduction of the Braxtons in 2011, it seemed they had no intention of doing. To me personally, it seemed like a message to old term fans saying "we don't want you anymore, we're aiming at a different audience now." Which was fair enough, so I stopped watching.
Pierced Musie Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Is it possible this was the plan all along? Dan was only brought in to reroute the storylines to something more....H&A? Then would leave the show in capable hands after a year. This whole 'quit' headline just screams drama llama
Perry Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 It's possible but he himself said he quit.
cadyctslover Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Well they haven't announced who will be replacing Dan, so I wouldn't think it was planned.
Homeandawayfan. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Hopefully the Louise Bowes "returning" ship has sailed as she has moved on to bigger things, she cannot damage our beloved H&A all the more. Sadly i dont think Dan Bennett only came in temporarily to turn the show around, there was some disagreement. I was hoping in a year of 2 he would become producer, and have 5 years in office.
cadyctslover Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 It's all gone very quiet on this front in terms of actual news. They must have decided on Dan's replacement by now. I wonder whether we'll have to wait until another script photo leaks onto Instagram/Twitter?

Luke39 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 I guess you cant blame Louise completely. The Braxtons did become very popular characters. To the point they had a spin off centred around them. So I guess the show responds to the audience response. I.enjoyed them. But im.glad to see H and A nearly returning to 08. Maintaining its roots. But appealing to a younger audience. Dan was prob a big part of it. Interesting to see who they bring in.
