Members RavenWhitney Posted July 26, 2017 Members Share Posted July 26, 2017 There's a monetary reason Days keeps more than five outline and more than five script writers on staff. It keeps all the writers from getting one script a week, and I think that is a cheaper way to go re payments/benefits. I read somewhere that union not happy about it. Plus Days writes in a compressed time frame, no one is working 52 weeks a year. Days also is cycling through writers, giving them between 6 and 18 scripts before their done: Mark Higley, John Newman, Edwin Klein, Sheri Anderson, Andrea Archer, Danielle Page. I won't be surprised if Levinson or Taylor writes 2 scripts a month for less than a year before being let go. These seem to be guest writer slots.

Members Soapsuds Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 I was about to post this. Is he freelancing? Or is this permanent move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members glatwt Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 How did his direction fit with Y&Rs style?? I've always been a fan of his work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 Probably freelance, didn't he direct a few DAYS episodes not long ago as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yep, he directed a couple of episodes on DAYS just last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2017 McKinsey's now freelancing at Y&R, DAYS and GH (unless Y&R gave him a contract.....time will tell). As for if he fits into Y&R's style.......Y&R has no style anymore, unfortunately. You sometimes see glimpses of old-school-Y&R if Sally McDonald or Dean LaMont directs.

Members YRBB Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 I was going to say the same thing. It's not a matter of style at all. None of the soaps has a signature look or style anymore.

Administrator Toups Posted July 31, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2017 I know. It sucks. Before, when storylines were bad, you could at least watch for the directing or listen for the really good background music. But we can't even get that anymore.
