sure!

Thus far, Megan has only written two freelance scripts that have aired (Nov 29 and Dec 30) but I assume at some point she'll be listed in the contract credits every day. Perhaps, she'll remain freelance and do occasional scripts? We will see. But big changes to the writing team with Ron, Dave, Chris, Sonja out and we know Paula and Rick coming back along with Cohen returning.

Amanda Beall listed as script editor in tomorrow's US episode with Rebecca Taylor as script writer.

thank you. Well, kudos to Jamie for two excellent outlines. Dave Ryan's dialog was also superb.

Scripts by Megan Titus, Dave Ryan, Dave Ryan Can we find out who wrote the outlines for each of the three episodes? Those were the three best episodes the show has done in decades.

Looks like Megan Titus has been under contract as Days script writer since June 2024. I would imagine her name will start appearing in credits. I wonder if they dropped Dan O'Connor before he started. He mentioned last April I believe that he had joined the team. Perhaps, they dropped him when they fired Ron. https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-titus-1696831a3/

FICORE writers not nominated with these three soaps Josh Griffith/Jim Harmon Brown YR Jean Ford/Fran Myers: Days

Just looked at tomorrow's Y&R and although he YouTube feed is distorted, it appears as if Marin Gazzaniga's name was gone. I think it was: Josh then Jeff/Marla then Amanda Beall . Writers' Guid Noms announced today: Days of Our Lives, Head Writer Ron Carlivati Writers Sonja Alarr, Kirk Doering, Christopher Dunn, Jamey Giddens, David Kreizman, Henry Newman, Ryan Quan, Dave Ryan, Katherine D.

Update: Joanna Cohen is listed in alpha order today as a contract script writer at Days.

Joanna Cohen penned today's Days script. She was with days from 2018-2023.. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2534753/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1

MDP never head wrote GH. Monty hired her as her assistant and she wrote scripts under Pat Falken Smith from 79 - 81. Pat took her over to Days in 81 and trained her for six months on the show before Pat left and she became HW for 2.5 years. Interesting that Monty hired her as an assistant after MDP had an established writing career. Here are GH 79 credits with MDP listed as assistant.

The worst change was Edge of Night in the last 18 months when Nicholson approved the splash of computer generated pickup sticks and dropped the skyline and the "THE" from the title. The worst choice of any soap for opening credits. There was no reason to change the opening and closing other than dropping THE. Horrid.

Thanks

Who wrote Friday's script?

Kai is a camera operator/video guy who has been with Y&R and B&B since early 2000s he also did some camera work at GH in 22-23. He directed 14 Y&R episodes in 2016/17

Before Lynn ruined the show. But even her tenure can't hold a candle to Griffith's last several years of brain dead, non creative, lifeless stories.

Was this a Lynn Latham episode or still Kay Alden Jack Smith?

If Anne Schoettle was fired as editor she would have been around for 15 weeks/75 episodes. We'll have to see if her name isn't listed on the next original episode. I thought her hiring at GH was odd in the first place.

Kreizman wrote 12/31 script so he's at 32 now. Angela directed. Agree. Kreizman still there too because he's linked profile shows still employed with Corday as script writer. I think Quan is also still there but not as creative consultant. Here's how I think it'll shake out Written by Jean Ford Paula Cwikly Ryan Quan Rick Draughon Jamey Giddens Fran Myers David Kreizman Henry Newman Kirk Doering Dan J. O'Connor (we'll see if he lasts past Ron's last three months with the show) Sheri Anderson? (I still wonder if she got full time employment after going fi core in 2023 for the writers' strike) Simone Hawthorne? Will the show actually bring more racial diversity to the staff?

LOL. I have a FB friend who's friends with Rick and Rick posted to that friend's wall and it made me think of him so I checked Linkedin.

Rick Draughon was rehired as an outline/breakdown writer by Paula/Jean and started back to Days in August 2024. He had been fired by Ron as of Aug 2020 and replaced by OLTL writer Katie Schock. Linkedin profile updated to show current tenure: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-draughon-24a4349/

If Y&R fans want to see a pitch perfect episode with all the main characters, perfect dialog, acting, directing, hair/makeup, music. I love the pacing of the episode with some main characters not appearing until the second half but tying into the plots introduced in the first half. This is classic soap. I saw these episodes when they first aired which is why I'm a little sick inside when I try to get through an episode of Young or Days or GH. For all the children out there who think today's Y&R is watchable, please watch a real soap episode....

Days Xmas episodes were taped week of 4/22, so Dave probably wrote his last script (and contract ended) end of March. He probably started at Y&R in April and his first script aired three months later. Days tapes 8 to 9 months ahead with scripts being written a few weeks prior to tape. I believe Y&R tapes a few months ahead.

I believe Dave joined the writing team in 2013.

Steve Rosenberg's second script today.
