JFP will make her mark. A year from now behind the scenes staff will be radically altered. I think Dean and Sally will go too. Has Jill ever worked with or hired a female director? Non on GH. They are getting very few episodes since Jill joined. Dean was the top director under MAB. I wouldn't mind Beall getting the ax; her writing talents are way overrated. Linda Schreiber should get more scripts.

Hope Denney comes back after his recovery.

Two months is a long time for someone to be absent. Maybe Noel had to take a leave and that he wasn't let go.

One of the last true Bill Bell writers. :(

Noel also directs/freelances commercials for Disney Channel/Disney XD, those channels tend to be very active during the fall/winter months, so that could also be what's eating into his time.

Also, I posted this in the background music thread, but Christian LeBlanc confirmed on Twitter that Mike Dobson and Bryan Harrison (Music Supervisors) were the ones fired. Jennifer Johns (thank god!) was also fired.

I assume Kurtz and Allocco are still there, but will be working for difference supervisors moving forward.

You might enjoy this treat, Toups.

Someone posted the Christmas 1990 GL credits on YouTube - JER is credited as Pamela K. Long's Co-HW. I had no idea he was there prior to 1991.

Long was no longer in the credits by January 1991, of course, when Curlee/Demorest/Reilly started being credited. Curlee isn't in these credits (I assume one of her maternity breaks, as she was Long's Co-HW for most of Long's second stint at GL).

Thanks for posting, Alvin! :) That's new info on Reilly - I had no idea either that he was Co-HW with Pam Long. Though I do have him as an associate head writer in 1990 but I forget where I got that info since it's not in any of the 1990 end credits I have.

I love new info. LOL

      Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him

      I don’t recall MSW having a toy line in the late 80’s or early 90’s like all those Saturday morning cartoons did LOL but thought this was cute when I saw it in a vintage toy store yesterday:

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Copying and pasting pasting this here as to not to derail the KL thread lol Wow I forgot CBS actually did try multiple attempts to come up with a soapy replacement for Knots on Thursday nights in the 10/9 slots for the 93-94 season.   Angel Falls had promise but CBS didn’t give it a fair chance. Latham’s Second Chances got even worse ratings than Angel Falls and wasn’t given a second chance when the Northridge quake destroyed the show’s sets. One West Waikiki looked gorgeous but was a blink you missed it affair. Finally we got Hotel Malibu, a quasi follow-up to Second Chances that stayed as the summer replacement series it was. CBS switched gears and had Chicago Hope air in the slot…against ER. It made the Top 30 but obviously underperformed below expectations. CBS gave up, and gave us 48 Hours for years there. It wasn’t until the 2002-03 season when CBS finally produced a Top 20 show for that spot with Without A Trace against an aging ER.

      Of course I join in on wishing that Peacock & Corday & Sony would all together come to the conclusion that NOW would be a fine time to put some of these gems in the archive on full display!!! But, at the same time I'd like to give kudos to the fact that behind the scenes they've been doing the great work of preservation by taking tapes, etc. & converting them to modern digital formats. Besides the important fact of preserving them it means they are ready to go!

      Bill and Hayley’s living room set should be redressed as their bedroom. We’ve not seen their gorgeous circular entry way set since the first week? Why not utilise that more and build them a living room off those double doors? The hotel room also doesn’t have a bed? Does only Dani have a bedroom?
