I was like " why is this Michele woman listed twice? Is this a mistake?!" Because up until then, I had only watched AMC, and they listed all of their writers on staff every day. Never giving individual credit (until 2003 when they started doing the credits at the beginning of the show). So it took me a little while to "get" what GH was doing.

So Michele wrote the script, but it is unknown who wrote the breakdown?

... because they just all seem to run together.

How do you mean they run together?

OLTL does list their breakdown writers.

Shelly Altman

Janet Iacobuzio

Victor Gialanella

Chris Van Etten

OLTL does list their breakdown writers.

But is it clear from the day's episode who wrote what?

Never mind.

Y&R listed 4 writers for Tuesday's US episode.

Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld & Paula Cwikly and Sandra Weintraub.

Why do they have 4 writers listed? It took 3 people to write the breakdown? Geez. LOL

Y&R used have to have lots of writers listed; I'll post credits from a 2000 episode later on but my guess is that there was some retooling before this episode finally aired...

is that there was some retooling before this episode finally aired...

As I said up there - who knows who rewrote who.

If you transcribed the ampersands as well from the credits, then this means Cherie, Jeff and Paula wrote the outline in colaboration and then Sandra rewrote it, polished it. Or Sandra wrote a part of the outline which C, J and P didn't cover.

If you transcribed the ampersands as well from the credits...

Ooooh, go ahead with yo' bad self, Sylph!

How do you mean they run together?

Okay, for instance. When ABC first started doing the credits at the beginning of the show, it was clear who was

Head writer

Associate head writer(s)

Editor

Scriptwriter

(or, in AMC's case)

Breakdown writer

Scriptwriter

Ooooh, go ahead with yo' bad self, Sylph!

Why? Should I have written and sign?

Okay, for instance. When ABC first started doing the credits at the beginning of the show, it was clear who was

It's clear here, too, in most cases, first comes the HW and co-HWs, then BDWs and SWs. Sometimes, however, it's unclear who's the BDW. There was here a guy who told us that Natalie is SE and the one who goes after her is BDW or SW. And Toups applied his rule.

DAYS:

- James Harmon Brown last listed as Script Editor on July 2

- Barbara Esesten last listed as Script Editor on July 2

- Richard Backus first listed as Script Editor on July 3

So we should be seeing their first work within the coming weeks at AMC then. Has Richard already been on the staff as a script writer? or is he new?
