I really apperciate you LookingGlass.

Because it is the truth I am looking for, but also there was someone else about a yr ago, that claimed that Megan cycle is just like everyone elses.. She has 13 weeks.. And no I didnt look at the contract of MMTrash to quote it, but the person that gave me this info, has in the past been on the A game.

Anyhow I can't believe that Megan isnt leaving, and as you point out, the when is the problem.

I still think she is out this month, but I am a dreamer.

I hear you AlwaysAMC... & the one thing that i know is MMTrash is on a 13 week cycle.

and so with that I'll disagree with LookingGlass.

The thing is LookingGlass has pretty much always said MMT isnt going, but just because I dont like hearing it, I will not say that it is wrong.

And I always thought Rosie would come on, she loved AMC or loves, and she really is a LaLucci fan, and so am I, but her coming on the view that day, I always thought Rosie would return the favor, in the false talk show.

the only thing that I am sure of, Is MMT is on 13 week cycle, is she gone ? I hope.

I talk to someone in a magazine, and I also asked LookingGlass the same question,

IF MMtrash email isnt working, then would Megan still be there without another email address.

LookingGlass said yes, because they use teleconfrence, but the magazine person said that no Megan would have to have email address, she then told me to go through ABC and request her new address, although why they would change the address wouldnt make sense.. My whole thought is would her email address if new and changed by TPTB because of whatever reason have to be made public. And yes, you can request her email address, but it can take days or weeks before the answer comes.

I still think MMT is gone this month.

One last thing, Did you notice that in the Fall previews that came out on ABC .. the Shhhh I have a secret.

That the other shows went wider and farther down the road, then AMC.. AMC only cover October. Nothing about November on that show.

I am sorry sometimes when I write something I really don't explain myself very well, so let me try again.

I didn't say that November sweeps weren't out and i know that MMT is still being "quoted".

I said in the ABC show SHHHH I got a secret, did you notice that AMC did not go far down the road, OLTL talked about Jess get married, and GH talked about Sam & Jason getting back together, but AMC only talked about things that happen the month of October, and I will stand by that.

Now I think when the spoiler are sent that are actually sent atleast 4 to 6 weeks ahead.. anyone here on SON could prob answer that. But with the magazines I believe that is true, and also that MMT quotes are given ahead of time and they release them as needed or as they make sense to the spoiler...

PLease anyone let me know if I am wrong.

I really don't know what to believe anymore. I want McT gone so badly that I get excited about any rumor. I do think that it is strange that she doesn't have an email address anymore. In this day and age, email is a vital form of communication and it wouldn't make sense not to have one especially in her position. And why would they change her email address at this point. She has had that address since she has been with the show.

And Errol has been very reliable in the past about inside info. So I think that it is entirely possible that McT is on her way out but it may have been delayed for some reason. Nov. sweeps is an important time for the ABC soaps so I am hoping that they don't do that well. Even though actors will be fired, changes need to be made. On the other hand, Frons is such a big idiot that I wouldn't be surprised if he kept her with the show. She may stay on until April or even longer.

So I am just waiting and hoping an announcement will be made soon. I think Errol said that we may hear something the end of Oct. or in Nov. In the meantime, I will not watch AMC until changes are made. The problem is that I am watching Y&R and I am really enjoying. I may not want to go back to AMC.

I have not seen these promo picks so I don't know what to say to that. If she taped anything it's news to me. Perhaps what you saw weren't pics of Susan appearing on The View!? I'm sure she'll pop up eventually though if you were looking forward to seeing her on the show :)

The only thing I've sworn up and down about is that Megan wasn't leaving when everyone and their mother was claiming she was. At the earliest I said later October (so maybe there will be good news soon). That's what brought me to this board in the first place; I found it in the summer when another site linked here to the report that Amanda Beall and Jeff Beldner were taking over.

Hopefully Megan will be canned soon enough and then I promise I'll shut the hell up. In the meantime, what I have to say may not be what people want to hear, but that does not mean it's wrong.

LOL... Sylph .. I love you, but I have to tell you that the time the thread was pulled about Megan I really felt that it border on " freedom " .

I also have to tell you that I am not the only one on this thread, but I will probably keep replying to it....

" Freedom" I love that more.

So close your eyes and you won't see the thread.. or dont reply on it and you won't do your part on keeping it on page one.

Because either Megan goes or this thread never will !!!

For whatever reason, Jackie isn't posting. That doesn't mean she isn't reliable. Her information is as correct as it was then. If things have changed, that doesn't mean she was wrong, nor that I was wrong.

Just bc Armus' background is from NYPD Blue, that doesn't mean that is his only background. If you write fanfiction and you are a teacher, will you always write about the teaching industry? No. All a writer needs is information, and the words will come pouring out. In fact, NYPD Blue may have been about cops working at a police precinct, but they also told personal stories about the cops, sex lives, children, medical problems, etc. How hard is that? Very! Armus could write the same way for AMC or whatever soap, bc as a writer...they can write anything they put their minds to.

I think Burton could do a wonderful job writing for AMC because he knows the history of the show and from what I have heard about him, he seems to respect it. Plus, he hates the unabortion storyline and I think it needs to be changed/corrected. That is why I am still hoping that he is going to be taking over soon.

And this thread will probably keep going until its official that MCT is fired. Then we will start a new one to celebrate!!! I would imagine that [!@#$%^&*] is either a ghostwriter or no longer with AMC considering all the controversy surrounding her.

Errol, any word further word on when MCT is going if she is going? Or is the show still considering keeping her but bringing in a co-headwriter?? Thanks for keeping us informed. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for Burton.

The information I got was that Kola signed with AMC. I don't know in what capacity, I'd have to re-check the information.

The last I heard was the possibility of a Co-HW. Megan's contract is still in question, and as it stands no one knows when it is specifically over. Whenever it is over, under no circumstances will ABC renew it. No matter what Brian says, ABC will not pay for her beyond her current deal. Affiliates are now getting involved and they are not happy.

The same can be said about Dena Higley, and when her contract is up. No one knows for sure. But ABC will not renew it unless she has a good November. More importantly, all the soaps better have a good November or people are in trouble. As I stated before, ABC slashed the budgets of the 3 ABC soaps, and they will again if November is bad for them. The first people to go will be actors, then the writers, and then if that doesn't help, Frons himself.

It should also be noted that any budget that ABC does have left over for Daytime is being spent on marketing and promotion, which is why the GH promo was so good.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
