I know but I'm talking date his name first appeared in credits, March 15

Writer contracts typically go in 13 week cycles. PM's first 13 weeks ended June 13. It'll be interesting to see if his name remains through week 26 (Sept 12) which I doubt given reports that his material airs through "mid-summer." I wonder if Steve Kent will hire him for Y&R as script writer/consultant.

ok thanks

Wonder if Charlotte Gibson is out. She hasn't written a script since June 14. Gold hasn't written a breakdown since June 21

GH: Frank and Nathan need to go YR: Josh, Steve, Amanda need to go

LOL

Love Colleen but the show sucks https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-aunt-jordan-from-the-young-and-the-restless-is-the-best-villain-on-tv?ref=home?ref=home

Here, here. Y&R is beyond bad, worse that Days. Nothing about the show works. Period. I can't speak for Bold as I've never been able to get through an episode since Brad Bell took over and it wasn't great before that.

Marin G listed again this week in two episodes above the script writer. I'm almost certain she's writing outlines as well as scripts. No matter, the show is so terrible. Sad to see how low it's gone even in the last few months.

This clip is actually from Xmas show 1981 not 1982 but I believe Ellis/Hunt came in during December 1981 and left in December 1982, replaced by outline writer David Cherrill. I was surprised to see "Jackson Chase" listed as head writer in these 1981 credits. I believe it was Cherrill's pseudonym. Does anyone know for sure? I know David, Courtney Simon and Millie Taggart all used fake names in the early years of their soap writing career. Courtney and Millie both confirmed this on Locher Room broadcast that they used fake names when writing under Ellils/Hunt on the Doctors. I believe Millie used KC Collier on ATWT when she first started writing that show with Tom King. I also thought Ellis/Hunt did very good work in 1982 and should not have been let go. They needed a new EP (Fred B was old guard who needed to go) but the casting was great with the exception of David Gale who was a great actor but not sexy and miscast for Stephanie and The Sentell plots. I loved early Warren, Brian, Linda G in her role. Sad that P&G and NBC kept ruining the show with writer producer switches. Sets were great, music, directing was amazing with Dunlap and Schwarz.

NuGabi: no, no, no unless they're planning to feature an anorexia plot Newish Tate: no, no, no, reminds me of Guy Wilson. I'd rather watch paint dry unless it's on a Spellman-Drucker approved set like revamped Horton living room where I believe they used the Guy Wilson era curtains. That set is positively stomach churning. Janet Drucker is worse than Albert.

Nice news as it'll give Genie some great scenes but JJ never carried the show the way other stars have over the years. And with Korte/Valentini in charge this arrival will not save the show from being unwatchable most of the time.

No. Gold only joined ATWT in the last year after GL cancelled. 12the episode with no Cathy LePard

I wonder if Cathy LePard is out; she hasn't written an episode in two weeks.

Steve Kent first listed as Executive In Charge in 6/20 Y&R episode. His title card is placed in the opening scenes just before the director credit. The show can only get worse with him fully involved.

Phideau Xavier back as GH director on 6/17. Last episode he directed was 9/22/23.

Just came across this writer connection. Deceased ATWT writers' assistant (95-96/Culliton period), Hallie Leland Leighton, was the daughter of veteran script writer, Lynda Myles. https://archive.nytimes.com/query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage-9501E5DE1E3AF93AA25756C0A9659D8B63.html

No but former OLTL producer for more than a decade DORIS QUINLAN was appointed EP of the Doctors for about a year in 1980. That was its last decent period.

OMG Just labored through most of 6/14 episode on Youtube and saw the updated Horton living room. For this debacle alone, Janet Spellman should be fired. WOW, how could they make it worse than it already was before the fire. It looks like it was thrown together by kindergarteners who had access to goodwill. Jackeeee looks a bit tired but appears to have lost weight and is seated, more medical issues possibly. This show is a tacky and uninspired as ever, visually horrible and beyond boring.

I believe Lindsay Harrison is out as Y&R scriptwriter; she completed 21 scripts between 2/2 and 4/24, replaced by Griffith's assistant.

Rupel "left" GH at the end of last year and his last script aired in Jan; although on FB he still shows his GH writing job as current and he's said nothing on his wall about being fired despite numerous posts about the show.

While I don't claim to have any inside knowledge (like some Bayview Sanitarium escapees on this board), it could be that Varni was behind PM return. Valentini groomed (ahem) O'Connor and Van Etten on OLTL. PM always seemed to be something done by an executive at ABC not Valentini. But it's just my humble speculation.

Because the Emmy period didn't cover Korte/Mulcahey crap.

New Black writer on GH, Nigel Campbell Wrote Saints and Sinners https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5336934/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigelecampbell/

She hasn't consistently been listed. Seems she's listed only when Jim Brown is the script writer. I wonder if he's been fired and she rewrote his last few episodes or perhaps she's writing breakdowns again. Time will tell.
