2007: The Directors and Writers Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Thanks to YouTube, I've been able to pilfer a select few writing credits from the 1990's from AMC and OLTL... Interesting, since I was in 6th to 12th grade during these dates and I didn't start paying attention to who wrote what until, conveniently, 12th grade. So seeing who was on staff at AMC especially was quite a surprise. I didn't know Agnes Nixon wrote in the early 1990s. I just assumed it was Maggie DePriest and Chris Whitesell and then McHack took the reigns in 1991/1992.

Take a peek...

I can't wait to put: "James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esesten last listed as Script Editors on......." :D I just have a feeling they were badly influencing Hogan and Meg. LOL

I think they'll start off strong. They're first 6 months will be good. After that, I think they'll start to go downhill.

It's going to be interesting to see who they bring to their writing staff and who'll be leaving. I wonder if it's going to a blood bath like DAYS and Y&R, but I'm thinking they're just be a few changes.

I thought that Courtney Simon leaving was pretty much a done deal, and someone had posted about it here weeks ago! I might be confusing things, but I do remember reading something like that already. The person who posted about it also said that Courtney Simon was retiring, not going to another soap. Does anyone else remember this?

A big Hell no to that Gotta keep Amanda Beall & Michelle Patrick there the 2 best Breakdown Writers that AMC has and you have to keep Karen Lewis and Marla Kanelos these 2 script Writers really know the show and the character.

    • Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!! Retro tv did an awesome job!!!! Have a look :

    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.
    • The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.
    • Very very well said!!!

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons.
