Members Kubla Khan Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 Remember that Brian Frons loves Brown/Esensten and when they joined OLTL as script editors, they also were story consultants to help out Higs when she she first joined. Most script editors do not play a big role in the direction of the stories. The main purpose of the script editor, actually, is to take the load off the headwriter(s), and supervise the writing and completition of the dialogue. Most HWs are too busy plotting out their stories and meeting with their breakdown writers to actually study and edit completed scripts extensively, and so the script editor becomes the trusted authority to do so. I highly doubt they had a big impact on the stories of Days. Since when has Hogan been somebody who would toss control to subordinate writers? Plus, he has a co-HW (Meg Kelly), so there's even less reason for the script editors to get involved. One thing to realize about Hogan Sheffer (and I say this as a devout watcher of ATWT), he was extremely hit and miss. When he was good, he was good (hence all the Emmys, but Emmys mean nothing anyway), but when he was bad, he was bad. He liked to ignore veterans. He liked to focus on small groups of characters at a time. He liked schlocky, sloppy, sensational stories. He handled serious social issues poorly. Sound familar? From 2004 onward ATWT was just one big mess. There wasn't even a whole lot of "hit" there. And remember, it all caught up with him because he was fired. He has managed to coast on his reputation for his first year (00-01) at ATWT, but he spent most of the year wrapping up Leah Laiman's storylines and giving us all sensational payoffs. When he began building his own storylines, he started to crumble (and Carolyn Culliton being demoted and eventually leaving didn't help matters).

Members JAS0N47 Posted June 6, 2007 Members Share Posted June 6, 2007 Re: Jeanne Marie Ford...She's been missing from the US credits for a week or so. Esensten & Brown were still listed as of today's US episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 6, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted June 6, 2007 A week or so? Really? Do you have the exact date, Jason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 6, 2007 Members Share Posted June 6, 2007 Y&RWorldTurner, could you please write a list of GH writers from 90–93 period you liked especially? You mentioned them, I think, in one of the threads at DTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2007 Members Share Posted June 6, 2007 ^I wrote a list of the Emmy winning team from GL in 93, but I never wrote a list for GH. I'm pretty sure I have a list of the writers from GH, during the Labine era. If you want, I can post both lists. Unless you're referring to the OLTL thread in the other forum, where I suggested Karen Harris and Michele Van Jean as co-head writers for the show.

Members Sylph Posted June 6, 2007 Members Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yes, I probably confused the two (that happens often with these acronyms in my case), but I'm pretty sure you mentioned the period 1990-1993. Please do write them if you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
