2007: The Directors and Writers Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.
