I want all the GL writes gone.

[Toups]

When do you plan to reveal these teasers, Toups?

Umm......Sunday evening.

And Toups when u say writers are out do u mean head writers?

I never tease about Head Writers. I only do teasers for staff writers.

My wish is that Pratt does something with the AMC team. What a boring transition this has been.

I think Lisa will shake things up, with writers, producers and directors when/if she takes over as EP.

SOW confirms Lisa Cozzate is in as a producer at AMC

De Cazotte

[Amello]

Already one the 2nd page in less than a day. I feel this year will be another doozy!

[Zendall Fan]

I read at imdb.com that Lisa de Cazotte was a coordinating producer for AMC in the late 90's

It also says that she went by Lisa S Hesser when she was Superivising Producer for Sunset Beach

What's with all these name changes??

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Did SOW specify which producer position Lisa would be occupying? I highly doubt ABC would hire her for a lower-level producer position job if they didn't intend on giving her an EP position. I seriously doubt she'll have much power anyway.

If she does take over as EP, I hope she gets rid of the ridiculous film look and improves the editing department on AMC. The show's picture quality is a mess.

I'm sure she'll become the EP soon. The show doesn't have money sitting around to create a position for her. Someone is going to be let go.

[Kubla Khan]

It makes no sense to bring her on as a lower-level producer if their full intention is to install her as EP. There is really no reason why they can't just bring her in right away as EP, and that would make more sense. Who knows what's up!

Well maybe another show was courting Lisa so ABC had to act fast and sign her but couldn't install her as the EP until JHC's contract was officially up. I'm just speculating.

It seems like a dumb business decision, because not only do they have to pay Lisa now, they have to pay Julie in addition. And we know ABC has been making some heavy budget cuts lately.

I too don't understand why she just couldn't take over as EP. I don't think any other show was looking for a new EP.

Night Shift 2 looked almost identical to AMC, so I doubt she'll ditch the film look, should she become EP.

Didn't NS have the film look since season 1 though? It did look very well for NS, but it looks ridiculous on a daily daytime soap opera. I understand a weekly series in primetime having that kind of a look, but it just doesn't gel all that well on traditional daytime soap operas.

They probably brought her on as a lower-level producer so that she can get familiar with the show. The same thing was done with Paul Rauch before he replaced Josh Griffith at Y&R, wasn't it?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

^Rauch joined as an uncredited consultant before he was offered the Co-EP job in September. Still, I doubt he was paid all that much to consult, Lisa's producing credit will come with a much bigger price tag attached to it.

[Kubla Khan]

Don't buy that ABC would bring her on under JHC just so she "could train." First of all, JHC had no experience with AMC and was signed to become EP as soon as PC was axed. They didn't pussyfoot around with having her "getting familar with the show." Plus, Lisa has worked on this show before...so...

That's true. There's no need to train her when she's already worked on the show. Granted, it was a while ago, but it's better than nothing.

[JackPeyton]

Lisa is awful. She made NS2 look as bad as NS1 was written.

Poor AMC. It already doesnt look that great....

And since when has anything been decided in the last few years in this industry based on "good sense"?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if AMC ended up having to pay off two executive producers and two head writers before the year is out, while "grooming" another EP/HW match-up. LMAO!
