I doubt it's true, but if it is, selfishly I hope it's either Passanante or Kreizman.

If you'll notice, the article doesn't specify that an ABC head writer is leaving. Of course the majority hopes it's from that network, but you never know.....

Well, it's from ABC Soaps in Depth, so I'm pretty sure it's ABC.

I'm with Kylie. It has to be McT. I won't be able to go on if it isn't! It just sickens me everyday when I decide to just watch a small portion...it sickens me. And there's so much that they could do to fix it. They need to pluck off pointless characters like Annie and Sydney. There's just so much brewing that they ignore. Danielle and Sean would be a HOT couple, I think. Why is that Babe and Krystal have no family members? I know that ABC probably wouldn't go for it, but a half-hour spin-off featuring Babe and Krystal GOING BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONG would be perfect. It'd get them away from AMC and open a whole new world of soap opera.

The ways to salvage this show are endless...

I remember a scene where Anita briefly talked with Eva and didn't hold SPS/Leslie being her mother against her.. and she had a look of compassion. It also told me that she remembers being from the 'wrong side of the tracks' and views Eva differently than her elitist daughter (Dani) and grand-daughter do (Kat).
Seeing Kat reminds me of the movie 'The First Wives Club' where the three women turn against one another and become the very thing that they're fighting against. I'm seeing Kat is making herself look like the bad guy while Eva is looking innocent in comparison. Kat... don't be a Tamra Judge, just give SPS/Leslie & Eva enough rope to hang themselves.

The stories about RKK on DAYS go back a long way, along with claims that Rinna and Kristian got him fired (Rinna was about to leave so I'd guess Kristian was the main force - she has never been anybody you [!@#$%^&*] with).

General observations:
I am loving that these earlier episodes feel so fresh and new for its time and there was clearly a decent budget to have a vast variety of sets, which weren’t only vast but extremely DETAILED. The town of Harmony feels like a real place because of the effort that was put in and the camera work is also fantastic. This was still during the glory days of soaps though so I understand it would be foolish to expect this kind of effort in soaps now but it made me realize that even though Passions was terrible for its time, it certainly beats any of the modern soaps we have now when it just comes to the overall vibe. There was a real commitment to making it a great show, no matter how ridiculous the writing was. I wish we could return to that one day!
This is kinda why I am continuing to watch. It’s not because the writing is great or even good, but I love how carefully crafted the families and characters are, and an effort was really put in to create a vibe for the town of Harmony and the rich vs the poor. Knowing that I could potentially see a completely different set as I move onto a new episode. We saw the gas station Miguel works at, the movie theatre Ethan, Gwen and Theresa were at. Even the kitchen at the chicken coup was shown. These are all just temporary sets but its still is so important when it comes to storytelling and painting a picture to the audience.

ARTICLE: ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ Interview With ‘Beyond The Gates’ Stars Ambyr Michelle & Trisha Mann Grant Scheduled

In January, viewers were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the set of “Beyond the Gates” when food and lifestyle contributor Sunny Anderson visited the soap opera’s Atlanta studio for a segment that aired on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
As part of her duties, which also coincided with Anderson being honored with a walk-on role, she conducted interviews with some of the show’s cast members, including Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Clifton Davis (Vernon Dupree), Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) and Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana “Leslie” Thomas).
The Tunie and Davis interview aired on February 3, while the Michelle and Mann-Grant’s interview is set to air on the Tuesday, March 3 episode of the syndicated daytime talk show.
In a clip released last month by CBS Media Ventures, which produces and distributes the Drew Barrymore-hosted talk show, Anderson discussed her experience with Barrymore and Ross Matthews, and shared what she learned, including some soap opera trade secrets, and even how input from the costume, hair, and makeup departments, among others, helps create the show’s identity.
Although details surrounding Anderson’s walk-on role were unavailable at press time, her episode is slated to air in May.
Watch the full segment below.
Filmed in New York City, Drew Barrymore and Jason Kurtz are executive producers of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” which, since its launch in the fall of 2020, has become a key destination for entertainment, information and important conversations.
Now in its sixth season, the talk show features exclusive celebrity interviews, unique lifestyle segments, social media influencers, and feel-good news stories, aiming to touch all aspects of life through Barrymore’s unique, optimistic lens.
Visit the show’s official website for information on tickets and where and how to watch.

September 7th-14th, 1999 episodes:
Sheridan looks so much older during this time period and MW was only 22! I couldn’t believe it when I looked it up. They have her dressed so mature with a short Karen due which was dated even for that time period. Right now we are taking a peak into Sheridans nightmares about her past. She knows she killed someone but doesn’t know who. I think it later ends up being Katherine’s sister Rachel if I’m not mistaken but even she ends up alive later on. This is where we are starting to see the softening towards Sheridan from Luis because he feels protective and wants to save the damsel in distress. Poor Sheridan is in distress for the entire 9 years of this show 🤣
I feel like the writing for Kay was very much to portray her as a villain during this time and Charity was the heroine. Of course this changes later but the way Kay shows little to no care towards Faith and Charity being in a fire represents how selfish her motives are and I get the feeling she was supposed to have an Sami-esque vibe to her which I am actually enjoying and this young actress Taylor-Anne Mountz is honestly not as bad as I thought remembered her being. She was only 17 at this time too and she is doing great in the role.
Tabitha was able to accomplish her mission of killing Faith. I wonder why they never resurrected her later on in the show. It could have brought about some good drama but they kind of just let that plot die here. Even if they brought Faith back as a recast it could have given Sam and Ivy some drama if Faith decided to stay at the Bennett house even after Grace was long gone. Oh well.
I had the thought last night while watching Theresa and Ethan’s scenes at the “chicken coup” about just how crazy Theresa always was right from the start. She has terrorized Ethan and Gwen since that bucket of paint in July 1999 and it never stopped. The problem is that Theresa is so endearing as a character with her fantasies that the audience tends to justify her actions over Gwen’s who is definitely more cutthroat in her approach even though they’re both equally f*cking crazy. However, I think an argument can be made that Theresa did eventually succeed in DRIVING Gwen insane because in these episodes up until around 2003ish (Sarah’s death) Gwen was perfectly sane other than being thirsty for Ethan.

Oh I see the problem. These specific twitter videos display properly ONLY you are logged into a registered twitter account (and you are over 18) and viewing on the X(twitter) site.

But if you try to open them in a browser window where you're NOT logged into twitter, they don't work and a notification displays:
"Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to X" . Embedding wouldn't be allowed for this particular video, because there's no guarantee that the website or messageboard viewers are over 18.

Good grief. This "A Look Ahead on B&B" video isn't the least bit scandalous.
