Are James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esesten gone from DAYS already? I noticed they were not listed as script editors in the credits of today's Canadian DAYS episode....

That was quick. Perhaps they've been working at AMC longer than previously thought.

I don't get how two script editors can be responsible for other than the dialog and flow of scenes. If they were consultants... I'd buy them having more power but all they were, were free lancing script editors.

People just don't want to admit that perhaps Hogan Scheffer isn't as good of writer as he is cracked up to be. I think what you are seeing now is because the ratings tanked, fans bitched and Corday stepped in.

True. I guess I am kind of contradicting myself LOL.

But weren't they also storyline consultants there? I dunno. Its just my general feeling Hogan is the main reason why DAYS has had its troubles. But yes it has imrpoved drastically, and B&E are still ther (or were up until today if they really were uncredited) He's still putting the pen to th paper.

^They were listed as only Co-Script Editors on OLTL, well at least according to SON's very own profile of them.

I've never been too found of Hogan myself. I found his last two years on ATWT deplorable and in many ways, responsible for some of the crap JPiss would carry out. I think the main reason he worked so well on ATWT during his first two years can be contributed to Carolyn Culliton, once she left, everything seemed to fall apart.

I will never understand how Hogan's won as many Emmy's as Bill Bell and more than Douglas Marland.

Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld are now starting to write breakdowns. I guess they switched positions with Marina Alburger.

Y&R:

- Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld first listed as Associate Head Writers on June 6

Thanks for the clarification. I won't critisize people now for saing DAYS is better without thm. Some writers fit with certain shows, some don't. IMO Hogan does not fit with DAYS. Hogan's last major story at ATWT was horrendos. Jack/Julia BAD!

    • 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.
