2007: The Directors and Writers Thread

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...

Do you think James and Barbara will do a good job on AMC, or is AMC headed to destruction?

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.

AMC could lose Chip Hayes, Addie Walsh as Breakdown Writers and Courtney Bugler & Rebecca Taylor as Dialogue Writers.

These 4 wouldn't be missed by me.

It's funny you should say that, R Sinclair, because I've been working on compiling a 'tracking list' with all the current soap writers. Basically a report of their soap writing history. This should give everyone an idea how the world of soap writing is basically one giant INCEST pool.

This list is not complete (The AMC, ATWT, Days, and GH ones are, as far as I can tell. I'll finish it later).

Chris Whitesell -- GL, AW, ATWT, OLTL, AW, GH, SuBe, OLTL, ATWT

i'm pretty sure he was writing Days scripts from 2000-2001

You know,I read a rumor(somewhere else) that ATWT's long-time script editor Courtney Simon might be leaving this summer.

I wonder if she will join her old pal Hogan at DAYS? Hmmm!

I was just about to write the same things! I think she'll take over Jim and Babs' job at Days.

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?

Interestingly enough, I agree with you on that. Especially Bugler and Taylor.

  • Member
Why don't just fire them all? Not immediately, but in six months time.

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.
