Another new writer for Y&R:

- Neil Landau first listed as Associate Head Writer on March 27

Great another newbie in a high-rank position.

Anyone still coming of with that ludicrous story that LML is keeping Y&R's assets and simply improving them? I guess Y&R will soon get even more generic and ABClike.

Judy Tate, a breakdown writer for ATWT wrote the script for today's show.

She used to be a scriptwriter before she was elevated to an Associate HW and BDW.

Are Tate and Donato both on the DAYS writing team now?

If so, that makes 5 former-ATWT writers on Hogan's team: Casiello, Johnson, Tate, Donato & Kelly.

If he's insistent on only using former ATWT writers, he should poach Leah Laiman. She wrote more of DAYS glory years in the 80's than even Sheri Anderson.

Overall 80's wise though, Sheri just beats out Leah in number of episodes.

Sheri was head writer for 1,182 episodes from 1982-1986.

Leah was head writer for 1,105 episodes from 1984-1989.

Ahh, I forgot to count Sheri's first 2 years with Maggie De Priest.

Thanks, Jason. :)

    Yes he was a writer and occasional director on Melrose Place.

    I checked my tapes and he was listed yesterday but missing today. Stephen Demorest was credited twice. With the associate headwriters and then as breakdown writer. Usually if you write the breakdown you are not credited with the associate head writers. Maybe it was a glitch. I hope not. Chip Hayes being gone is a sign McTavish's ship has sunk.

    Chip Hayes is a good friend of Julie Carruthers, has been for years.

    She brought him to AMc shortly after she joined.

    So he was not a McTavish hire, and has no prior connection to her.

    So, he can stay. *g*

    Courtney Bugler cannot. :)

    What did the SoapNet credits have? Did it also list Demorest twice?
