This is SO 2006

Plus there was a scary pic of her in the new SID as well

Wow this is only 27 pages long. The Passions thread is up to 41 and it's only been around for a week.

Megan needs to leave but I agree with those who said Frons is the main problem. Look at the travesties all 3 of his shows have turned into. Allowing three bad writers to sit at the helm of the shows is madness. Someone needs to kick Frons out on his ass and then Guza, Higley, and McTavish will be next on the network's [!@#$%^&*] list. They are doing nothing for the network but driving away fans in droves.

I have a question for all of you: what would you change about the show besides having a new headwriter?

[R Sinclair]

Its executive producer and production values. I think Carruthers is a fool, and the production values have not been the same since that IATSE tech strike back in 1998.

I love how this thread keeps going and going and going!!

I do think ABC needs to clean house. They need to get rid of Frons, McT, and Carruthers. They need to change some of the script writers and breakdown writers. That is my AMC hope for 2007.

I'm bumping this sh!t. With the sudden outbreak of McTavish Appreciation going on, those of us who are sober need to stay focused and remember the ultimate goal.

[Pine Charles]

Yeah, because I'm SURE people on a message board saying she's good in the beginning and later falls apart will prevent her from getting fired.

[R Sinclair]

Good one... I think I just got owned!

[Pine Charles]

No, that could never happen, Hordak. No one is as witty and original as you. Things like "pass the crack pipe"....genius.

Does it even matter if McT is out anymore? I don’t know. Low ratings used to be good in bad times because you hoped it would mean changes would be made. Not anymore. It seems they’ll let a show slide enough without making changes, and then cancel. But I think maybe we should all watch. I know this means nothing if you aren’t being checked by Nielsen, but I think we need to support the show until this cancellation rumor goes over. If AMC is saved that means that it would at least have a fighting chance; some opportunity. We know that no one is ever really dead on a soap. Chances are slim, but maybe Cady McClain (and Julia Barr as well) would eventually come back. Yeah, I know I’m grasping at straws here, but what else can I do? I feel rather numb. This is all like a bad dream.

Any news on if McTrash is staying or going?

[Tzelkos]

She's not going. Word has it she has already re-signed (her contract is up in April but I think they take care of these things early in case they do have to get a replacement).

Sucks, but it doesn't even really matter anymore. Megan or not, AMC is so screwed.

[dragonflies]

Has anyone tried her email address recently to see if it works?

I hope she's gone, something had to happen behind the scenes for Cady to get fired, and I figured McTavish was the reason Cady returned, so I figured she'd be out as well.

[psychofan]

I honestly don't see the problem with McTavish. I think she's a great writer. Yes, the Josh/Erica/Jeff story was pretty stupid, but isn't she allowed one mistake? I think that everything else she's written has been great!
