Members durk Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 I read on another board that EW is soon going to turn in her resignation papers soon. Also two performers taped some scenes and one of them stormed off set and other sat there in tears. Does anyone know if these are true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane4life Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 All I know is that "As the World Turns", "Young and the Restless" and "Guiding Light" have secret writers on staff who aren't in the credits. Kay Alden is supposed to be one. I guess you would call them Consultants?? I kind of like Ellen Wheeler. What I meant by that is that Kay Alden is consulting for "As the World Turns" according to rumors. There's also somebody spiking "Druscilla" at Y&R who isn't on staff and used to be at DAYS, or atleast that's what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbFabGL4ever7 Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 I so wish she would and take Crapsman with her. But I don't think that EW would be that stupid to give up a job that was practically given to her on a silver platter. EW has GL by the balls and I don't think she's gonna loosen that grip until she gets replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane4life Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 The ratings (total viewers) have been climbing for "Guiding Light", so I don't think Wheeler's going anywhere. CBS is really happy with Wheeler and with the rating increases. The show was actually cancelled, just as I reported several months ago, but it looks like a "reprieve" is in order if the rating climb continues.

Members KMan101 Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 Kay Alden neesd to be given the HW gig at ATWT. It's not horrible by any means, and sure, Alden had her issues at Y&R, but I think Alden could work wonders for ATWT. GL is just a mess. I watch but I really don't even recognize it as much as I want to watch it and enjoy it. Sigh. I think Ellen Wheeler has done as good a job as she can (I know MANY will disagree with me, but oh well). Kreizman has horrible story ideas. A mystery blogger? Gag me. Reva lies about having cancer? Gimme a break! Sigh. It's a cluster-you-know-what. At least Brad Bell woke up and B&B is getting better. The Taylor reveal has been absolutely fantastic. Latham is very hit-or-miss at Y&R. Some of her stuff I like, others I don't. She has some decent story ideas but she either doesn't play them out well enough (i.e. rushing stories) or doesn't focus on them enough. Anyway ... lol, my rant was about CBS writers. I think they along with ABC needs to be rejuvenated. Gabe, any word on Burton Armus for AMC? What about OLTL?

Members RoseVioletDaisy Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 GL's ratings haven't been climbing, not in HH or in total viewers. For the last two years, GL has hovered at 2,850,000 viewers, give or take, a frequent flucuation of 50,000 to a 100,000 viewers. It has gone over 3,000,000 on a few occasions but that's been rare and most of them occurred well over a year ago and it's also fallen down to 2,500,000 a few time as well.

Members EricaKane4life Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've been actively trying to get info on Burton Armus situation and everything has closed down. No info lately at all. I'm stunned those shows haven't changed writers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crc Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 I hope that's true about Kay Alden at ATWT. I wish she would have gone to GL instead, though. It's like no good writers want to touch it or maybe the show can afford them. I'm curious about the "somebody spiking 'Drucilla' at Y&R" part. What does that mean? LOL!

Members Soapsuds Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 Huh? I haven't seen this happen. Exactly RoseVioletDaisy. EW needs to leave and so does DK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted October 25, 2006 Members Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well, I hope it's true. She's had her chance to save GL. So has Kreizman. It's time for a change! P&G probably should have gotten Hoagie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 I actually LIKE Ellen Wheeler, even though she's very actor-friendly. You can tell by the way GL is written these days. The show is an acting mecca, but the plot sucks balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 The storywriting on GL could definitely use a tune-up but overall, the ratings for the show aren't all that gloom-and-doom as some people make it out to be. Almost all soaps have fallen and yes, GL has been one of them but you don't see GL having this huge drop like the rest of them. Also, GL's ratings are fairly consistent unlike other soaps which have numbers dropping and rising like they're on some rollercoaster. I can't say or stress that enough. Not to mention that GL has managed to surpass AMC and OLTL about 2 to 3 times in the last 2 months. Yes, AMC and OLTL can be labelled as pure crap but the fact alone that those two soaps dropped below the supposedly doomed GL speaks volumes and should cause panic for TPTB over at ABC.

Members EricaKane4life Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 I agree with you 100% GL is basically just 100,000 viewers away from what the other shows have. It's not a huge divide like PASSIONS is. This week GL had a 2.3, AMC had a 2.3 and DAYS had a 2.4 so what's the big difference? I think GL could easily be saved.

Members Dan Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 "I think GL could easily be saved." Oh you betcha. But will they do what needs to be done? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
