LOL. Ron wins the award just as his worst 2021 storyline (Sarah/Kristin) aired.

Preach!

How dare Pam compare herself to Doug! She ripped off Dallas, Gone with the Wind, General Hospital and other movies and shows for her initial GL stories. Her OLTL and SFT stints were utter failures. Doug had his issues but he made a huge and positive impact on The Doctors, GH, GL and ATWT; his one pock mark is Loving but that was Aggie's failure too.

Interesting that author, Nerissa Radell, was one of AW 1988 strike writers along with Mimi Leahey. Both were hired after the strike but only Mimi lasted several years as a dialog writer on AW, ATWT and AMC I believe.

Because head writer, Lee Sheldon, was incompetent.

Poor lady. As someone who's trained in psych, I can tell you that as her performances became more manic (and her hair styles changed weekly), I kept saying to myself: something's up with this actress. I wasn't surprised to hear (sadly) about her mental health challenges. I think the producers made the right decision.

Tony Scott was in contract negotiations and quit. Terry Davis became pregnant. The writer's strike also happened at the same time. Slesar may not have been the one making the Emily decision. Lois Kibbee and Lori Durbrow were writing the strike episodes using Henry's bible with Erwin Nicholson supervising. This info came to me when I met Ernie Townsend in NY years later and I asked him who wrote the show during the strike. He told me. He was so hot in person. And loved gossiping. He said Henry had full power over most stories, that ABC didn't really interfere. It was P&G who tinkered with plot and casting but that Henry/Erwin had a lot more control than P&G gave other shows.

Oh, that's right. It was Gabrielle Upton for a while, then Don Chastain took over during the writer's strike and was hired after the strike for a while. He played Max I think. Didn't Ellis/Hunt take over in early 82 and stay a year to transition the show to NBC? What a mess. Too many writers and producers. P&G execs were nuts. Who's the actor who played Zach in this episode?

Joyce and John Corrington were head writers and they had for most of the run, three script writers. Mary Ellis Bunim was exec producer.

Y&R can't be saved until Steve Kent is gone. Period. He's the Brian Frons of Sony.

Whitesell lasted 6 months before they moved him to AW as EP (and fired Gary Tomlin as HW a second time), and David Lawrence took over as EP for the final months the show aired (with Pam Long/Addie Walsh further ruining the show with the non-sensical Judge Henderson/McCleary saga). The flood was a waste of money and they killed off Ryder, a young viable character and actor.

Susan Banks updated her profile on linkedin to show she's been a staff writer since November. https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-a-banks-65735a2/

This concept and show..TIRED.

Amanda Beall and the script writers were not listed today.

One only needs to watch Paternity Court on a regular basis to understand all the creative names in fashion these days...But getting back to Jackee. She's a big girl now, much bigger than I recall. And it looks like she's going to play her standard character....which will be fun until Ron ruins it.

Can someone splice out Jenny's part. OMG how obnoxious. FJ is so classy.

Alan's lack of knowledge of EON was on full display with this reunion. Luckily, the three ladies are so endearing and such class acts. Sharon is steeped in EON stories and has told more detailed accounts in other interviews and reunions; but some of the tidbits in this one were nice. This reunion is more about getting to know the actresses. I enjoyed it.

Days of Our Lives is the most realistic soap on the air right now........for MAGA and conspiracy theorists!🤣

Gail Kobe installed the Cullitons and Tomlin as interim writers to clean up the show for Long who was already working on the bible and under contract.

I'm sure all three hundred regular viewers of this horror show won't care.

On Twitter, Ron's desperately attempting to justify Laura's death. I've watched soaps for a long time and there aren't many shows I wished off the air (cancellation). Guiding Light was one that needed a quick death after Ellen Wheeler ruined it whereas ATWT still had some potential. Even Ron's OLTL was salvageable. But Days needs to be cancelled. It's not about who's head writing. It's about Ken Corday and his producer hacks (Alaar) who haven't a clue how to entertain.

CBS clearly wants to kill this show as NBC did with Another World. It's the only explanation for keeping Morina and Griffith.

No he's not out.

Ron has pulled Days fully back into Dena Higley territory. Dumb, embarrassing, nonsensical - along with character assassination (Laura). Poor Linda Dano. The plot is awful and she's horribly miscast as Viv. Ben and bug eyed Claire. No thanks.

What would be newsworthy is reporting which episodes they submitted.
