Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 Honestly i think they should promote Kate Hall as co head writer. Shelly can show her the ropes and she is a young talent McTavish retired like 10 years ago i doubt shes interested. I remember her GH stint being bad.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 This is a fitting tribute to Jean P. 25 years and she was head writer for OLTL, AMC, AW,ATWT,YR and GH. I think she has head written the most soaps of any head writer in daytime. Jean I hope u had the time of your life. Beautiful song for Jean P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 6, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 Uhm dude, she was a c u next tuesday on twitter, she hated that the fans didn't kiss her butt and let her get away with rewriting the show's history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 The big issue for GH fans is they felt she could improve on story climax and payoff. Also her pacing was too slow for some fans. Otherwise she didnt destroy GH that was Dena at DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 I wasn't suggesting they rehire McTavish. I was proving a point that ABC would hire/rehire soap killers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think another option could be Josh Griffith as he kind of co head wrote with Shelly on YR. Frank Valentini @valentinifrank·55m I'm in denial and very sad about Jean Passante leaving us!!! She's an amazing writer and friend. She'll be missed. #GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well, I would suspect ABC/Varni will elevate Dan O'Conner and/or Chris Van Etten. The veteran writers (Whitesell, Gold) are being hired to be supporting players. Dan was Ron's muse and ABC brought him back after a one year leave (in which he was working on another project). Chris and Dan have been loyal staffers on both OLTL and GH for a long time. Shelly is highly respected and as long as Frank's there I see her staying as head writer. And Jean confirmed in a tweet to Maurice Bernard that Shelly will drive story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's a definite possibility with ABC/Disney. Their executives and talent have graceful exits all the time. Star Jones was one who did not go quietly in that good night, blowing ABC's cover by doing a sneak attack in People Magazine and announcing she'd been fired live on air "after much prayer and counsel" - it was hilarious. Jean probably retired...or decided to retire after her contract wasn't renewed. Either way. She's gone. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yep. The Star Jones thing was hilarious. This is totally off topic but is Barbara Walters OK healthwise? Does anyone know? Even after her "retirement" she popped up on ABC news here and there and popped up on The View but it's been a while, especially for the 20th season she hasn't done anything for it. It's kind of strange. I also feel like her retirement was forced but I think it was time (you could see it on air she was a bit out of sorts at times).
