2007: The Directors and Writers Thread


Recommended Posts

Esesten is listed in Ford's script editor position, but Brown is listed with the regular script writers. When they write their first script, we'll see if they'll be listed together (like when they were at OLTL) or not.

Thanks for the info, Gladgirl.

So which other writers does this agent have as clients? I want to see what potential writers might join the DAYS writing staff. LOL!

Wow, she's already gone? She couldn't hold the OLTL job and now ATWT too. I feel sorry for her. Poor Bettina.

Bettina was with AMC for 13 years, and now in the year since she's left AMC she's had two jobs and lost them :blink:

She's not a horrible script writer but believe me, she certainly is not the best. Maybe she just became stale at AMC after 13 years which is why I don't really have a high opinion on her. I haven't seen any of her work really at OLTL or ATWT.

^^I actually liked her on ATWT b/c I noticed that she was using a lot of vets with her scripts. Didn't she write Friday's episode? I thought that was a decent episode.

I still can't believe Laiman hasn't been canned yet. I guess that as long as Goutman's still EP, though, she'll still be on the writing staff. :(

    • Shari Anderson was also head writer for a few months before the strike began.
    • I would agree.  Does anyone ever notice in Jan 1988/even Dec 1987, the show started to refer to characters from the past and mainly the Frame family?   It sounded like Lemay talk.  Jason Frame mentioned his sister Sharlene in early 88 but the ending credits still listed MD has head writer and I think Lemay was about to take over at that point.  The show hired Lemay back I believe to prepare for the 25th anniversary and try to recapture the audience that was lost by bringing the past back up.  Then the writers strike happened and all of a sudden the writing changed except when Sharlene Frame came back and we heard more family chatter again.  Maybe at this time they knew the strike was coming near to an end the producer forced the scab writing team to introduce Sharlene. I suspect even though Lemay was not writing at the time, the intent was he is coming back and the show consulted with him on his future storylines.
    • -- My Laugh of the Day goes to Carly calling the Metro Court a "five-star hotel." -- It's crazy, but what Drew did to Wiley makes Drew come off worse than if he actually murdered someone. -- Cynthia Wattros really needs to lay off the Botox. Because her face doesn't move, she's doing WAY too much with her eyes. -- Josh Kelly is looking so good with the new haircut. -- Rory Gibson continues to impress as nuMichael. Just another reminder that Josh Griffith doesn't know how to write for talent. -- This Lucky goodbye is sad -- in all the wrong ways. It could not be more pathetic. There's no doubt in my mind that Valentini told the writers they had 3 days to write him out and to make it ugly. No one will miss JJ.

    • Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.
    • Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.
    • I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.
    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol
    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
