Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oh eww. What was Pratt thinking? Wasn't she the one that made those idiotic comments about working at Nordstrom during the writer's strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^That's the equally horrible Marina Alburger. Dufour was the one who bragged about Latham making Y&R the most unsoapy soap on the air and how that was a good thing and how ridiculous the show WASN'T. Yeah, she clearly kissed a lot of ass to get a job on the writing team there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 I can see why Pratt hired her, he's making AMC unrecognizable, and Latham made Y&R unrecognizable. She'll fit right in on his team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 3, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2009 Nope, I didn't know. Wow, this is pretty surprising. Alvin, do you have that quote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 Here's the link to the whole article with the interview: http://www.sunjournal.com/story/240119-3/b..._Lynsey_Dufour/ Keep in mind, Latham made this 25 year old the Script Editor after only a few months. Some parts that made me roll my eyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nell17 Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 Great a script writer who clearly thinks that "writing for daytime" is beneath her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 Lynsey, Lynsey, Lynsey... ...now THAT'S comedy. She literally went from writers' assistant to script writer to breakdown writer to SCRIPT EDITOR in about ten seconds. I'm all for promoting from within, but that was just ridiculous and absurd - and clearly showed in the quality of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 From what I've heard, from several people, Dufour and Alburger kissed a lot of ass at Y&R to get those promotions. Many have said that they were Latham's little spies who reported back to her on everything. It's no wonder why BOTH were FIRED at the SAME TIME when Latham was FIRED.

Members Jonathan Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 She was probably hired because she is cheap. Seems like she's barely out of college, probably in her mid 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brimike Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 Alvin, correct me if I'm wrong, but they were the only non-Lechowicks to be let go after the strike, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 3, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks for the link, Alvin. That was such a "WTF" moment. Who did she replace as Script Editor? Janice Ferri Esser? Yeah, let's replace the 16+ year veteran with someone who's been writing for the show for a couple of months. What was LML thinking! LOL I'm not sure about that. In college, she did a soap opera talk show, so she clearly loves soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 'Tis true. She is a soap fan. I'll just be really disgusted if Lynsey Dufour makes it at AMC, when Sara Bibel was barely given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yep, they were the only two along with Lynn and Bernard. Maria got rid of most of Latham's other friends, family, and pets gradually after that when their contract cycles were up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 I wish it were the Stanleys, James and Dianne (Messina). They were (and are) the Lechowicks' closest friends and collaborators; and their work, IMO, just plain sucks. (Anyone who's seen "Strong Medicine" on Lifetime knows what I mean.) Chances are, though, it'll be two people who are inconsequential, like Jay Gibson and Paula Cwikly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
