2007: The Directors and Writers Thread

[heatherwebber]

Today's Days was an example of Bettina Bradbury at her best. The material was brilliant.

[Toups]

Jerry is still listed as a story consultant.

Maybe Janice is just consulting for now and will later start to writie scripts or breakdowns (Elizabeth Snyder started as a story consultant and is now writing breakdowns).

[Adam]

Anthony Morina was again credited with directing AMC today. Does anyone know if he has been brought on as a full time director?

[R Sinclair]

I'm sorry, but... "I don't need DNA. I have K-A-N-E."

[Toups]

SID reported that he's now a Producer at Y&R. As we all know, Y&R likes to hire people with little or no history with the show.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It was announced a few weeks back that Anthony would become a producer on Y&R, so he might just be finishing up stuff on AMC.

[Adam]

Oh that's right, because another staple on the Y&R behind the scenes team in Ed Scott was given the heave ho.

Latham, you are really taking the bull by the horns aren't you

God that show is in so much trouble!

Anthony was a director at Y&R some time back was he not?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

He's been an occasional director since 2004.

Bettina was mediocre at best on AMC. I still wonder how she was on AMC for 13 years. I guess it should say something when she spent 13 years as a script writer. Very rarely do you spend that much time at one soap in the same position.

She was cliched, had alot of very corny dialog and had the characters say alot of sexually oriented and perverted things.

Bettina was mediocre at best on AMC.""

That is just about the opposite of things as I saw them. My assessment is quite different.

[Adam]

It seems people either loved Bettina or was sort of "meh" on her. Count me on the meh side.

I never saw anything that special about her.

[JAS0N47]

Didn't see it posted recently....Jeanne Marie Ford has left "Days."

[Toups]

I figured something was up since her last script was on April 27.

Was she gone from NBC's credits because she was still listed on the Canadian credits?

[Adam]

A writer seems to leave DAYS every week LOL. Alot of changes have went on over there.

[sheilaforever]

I don't if it was her first day but since Monday B&B got indeed a new writer.

Janice Ferri Esser was listed as a storyline consultant along her former Y&R colleague Jerry Birn.
